The Grassroots Ale
This beer is the true definition of "unparalleled drinkability paradoxically balanced by uncompromised complexity." Along the lines of a pale ale but fermented with our house yeast strain, which lends nice fruity notes that complement the citrus flavors and aromas of the hops.

The J. Henry Original Mild
Trustworthy, an ale of character. Nice hints of coffee, chocolate, caramel and raw tobacco. Complex and compelling, yet straight forward, easy to love. A friend to the end...Period.

Sergio's Ole Evil-Ass Devil Bullshit Ale
As light in color as we know, as potent as we can go. Looks can be deceiving, tasting is believing. A complex beast augmented with local honey and oats. Local honey sourced from Jeff Herel Apiaries - Sparta, Tennessee.

The Smokey Treat
A Calfkiller original. Hints of smoke and earthiness are acquired through the use of a Peat Smoked Barley, while high fermentation temps and our house yeast strain lend themselves to a bevy of fruit esters and flavors resulting in an easy-drinking, very approachable ale.

The Calfkiller Deadhorse
Traditionally untraditional. An "oatmeal and brown sugar entire," precursor to the porter. This beer is well balanced, dry, faintly roasty, slightly chocolatey, moderately warm and heavily drinkable!

Ye Old Calfkiller Quazi
This hazy summer gift is a refreshing conundrum… Is it a wheat beer? Not really. Is it a pale ale? Not quite. Is it a pilsner? Kind of… It is the Calfkiller Quazi. Almost like every beer, but unlike any beer.
Available June to whenever the heat stops

The Golden Calf
This all barley creation is as easy drinking as it gets. Wonderful malt notes balanced nicely by a blend of 3 high alpha hops late in the boil, and all tied together by the fruitiness of our house yeast strain. This beer is to be enjoyed, not worshiped.

Cerebral Predator
The most aggressively hopped Calfkiller Beer of all time! ...But be not afraid... This beast has balance enough to maintain "unparalleled drinkability" as fruit notes & berry hints arise from every sip. An instant Calfkiller Classic! 7.2% ABV 78 IBU
Oktober Suprize
In true Calfkiller tradition we brewed a special "Octoberfestish" beer that can not technically be called an "Octoberfest". We used a traditional German Vienna Malt for that nice hint of sweetness, German noble hops for balance and our house yeast to keep it real...Suprize!
Available only in October
5.1% ABV
