Wooden Mayhem Grand Cru • 10th Anniv. Barrel-aged Stout • 15.2% • 8oz $12 / 4oz $6
It is hard to express how much this beer means to Rock Cut. If it was possible to create a beer as an ode to ten years of Rock Cut: to all of the people who have shown up to support us in the busyness of summer and in the lull in winter, to the hours of blending and discussing between all the brewers who have worked here, to the constant refinement of recipes old and new, to the quiet conversations and uncontrollable laughter behind of, across, and seated at the bar – this beer is it. Thank you: Be it your first time here today, or if you were here for us in 2015, thank you. We would not be here without you. • Maximum of two 8oz pours per guest
Snowy River ‘26 • Red Wine Grape Sour • 12oz $14 / 8oz $10 / 4oz $6
Fermenting with our spontaneous and wildly captured culture, we barrel-aged this beer and then rested it on grape must from our friends up the street at Snowy Peaks Winery. The lemon & pear of the base beer, River Culture, combine with strong plum and mixed berry notes from the grapes for a tart beer with dry tannins and a gorgeous, rich pink color. • Recommended adventure: visiting Snowy Peaks for a wine tasting
Blueberry Ptarmigan ‘26 • Fruited Pale Sour • 12oz $14 / 8oz $10 / 4oz $6
We created this variant of Ptart Ptarmigan by aging a wheat beer in wine barrels with a mixed sour culture, after 18 months we racked the beer back to steel and rested on blueberries for an additional 2 months. The final beer was then blended with a lighter sour to mellow the ptartness. The final beer has a pink hue with juicy berry notes over a firm acidity. • Featured ingredients: Wheat Malt, Wild Culture, and Blueberries • Recommended adventure: Napping in a hammock by the river, hiking through the boulder field on Long’s Peak
