Cismontane Brewing – Tucson introduction
Featuring
The Citizen
The California Common almost disappeared after prohibition as did the term Cismontane. Our interpretation of this style is a golden warm fermented lager with sufficient hop aroma. As a brewer and citizen of Cismontane California it is our obligation to produce a fine Californian Common. 6% ABV 45 IBU
Coulter I.P.A.
Named after the coulter big cone pine tree this is a well-balanced I.P.A. It brings the beer style back to its roots. Brewed with a hit of rye for head retention and a deeper malt character, this beer has the best of all worlds, great hop aroma, a strong body and deceiving strength. 7.2% ABV 60 IBU
Blacks Dawn
A heavy strong stout brewed with coffee, brown sugar and oats. With its powerful quality and morning ingredients it seems parallel to a solid dawn surf session at Blacks. With an inside connection to boutique roasted fair trade beans we were granted the opportunity to make this exceptional brew even better. 8% ABV 50 IBU
2012 Dead Santa
Yes… Santa is Dead… This year’s beer is almost completely different from last year. It is a big white ale brewed and infused with a variety of spices. At 8.5% ABV and relatively dry the light spice blend including nutmeg, hazelnut, black cardamom, cinnamon, and bitter orange peel comes through nicely but is not over powering. We apply the same principles we do every year with this beer. Brew something different from the year before that is lightly spiced to complement the grain bill. Brewed with pilsner malts and white wheat the beer is golden in color with a slight haze.
Good news is even though Santa is no longer with us, we generally get something for the holidays anyway… 8.5% ABV 29 IBU
California Buckwheat Oktoberfest
Inspired by the season we took advantage of the fact that the California Buckwheat is going to seed and integrated this native species into the beer. The beer is a deep copper color, smooth and refreshing with a malty finish that has a touch of honeysuckle from the buckwheat. 5.6% ABV 30 IBU
Deciduous IPA
Still in tanks, info in near future.
