Slow-Fermented Brown Ale
First Sold: August 2010
Availability: March – April 2016
5.2% ABV and 26 IBU
Unfiltered and 100% Naturally Carbonated
Slow-Fermented Brown Ale is a beautiful chestnut brown colored beer with a rich roast and caramel malt flavor delicately balanced by hop undertones and a subtle sweetness in the finish. Fermenting at cool temperatures with ale yeast causes a stress-reaction leading to a clean flavor coupled with a rich and full mouthfeel.   As a test, we fermented our Slow-Fermented Brown Ale recipe normally and also at a lower temperature just above the yeast’s tolerance. The results were remarkable. A testament to the importance of yeast to a beer’s flavor, the slow-fermented version has a gentle creaminess that balances perfectly with the soft caramel overtones of the brown ale recipe, ending in a crazy smooth finish. It is a difficult and touchy beer to make, but we are hooked on the results!

All Switchback beers are brewed in Burlington, Vermont and are carbonated during fermentation by the yeast itself resulting in a 100% naturally conditioned beer. After aging, we simply move the beer to the keg or bottle, leaving it unfiltered for the freshest, fullest, most natural flavor possible.

SwitchBOCK Keller Bier
First Sold: June 2015
Availability: January – February 2016
7% ABV and 38 IBU
Unfiltered and 100% Naturally Carbonated
SwitchBOCK is the newest offering in our line of Rotating Specials and brewed in the traditional German Maibock style. A strong golden lager brewed with pilsner malt and a touch of red caramelized malt to bring out a nice warm golden hue in appearance. At 7% ABV SwitchBOCK has a full bodied, malty mouthfeel but it is more aggressively hopped than a typical bock, giving the lager a nice spicy bite in the finish.

Switchback Ale
First Sold: October 2002
Availability: Year Round
5.0% ABV and 28 IBU
Unfiltered and 100% Naturally Carbonated
Switchback Ale was developed as a flavor concept, not adhering to any style guidelines. Using only traditional ingredients, Switchback Ale is an unfiltered, reddish-amber ale which is particularly well-balanced, allowing for complexity of flavor coupled with an unusually smooth and refreshing character. Five different malts, select hop varieties, and our own specially cultivated yeast create an ale which leads with hop fl¬avors and a subtle impression of fruit (our yeast’s contribution), followed by a palate pleasing malty finish.
