Phoenixx Double Extra Special Bitter (winter release) draught, bottles

English crystal malt gives Phoenixx its subtle toffee and caramel notes, but this ale is about hops. The blend of English hops, highlighted by its namesake, Phoenix, yields a complex hop character that dominates this special brew.
ABV: 7.2%, IBU: 50

Real Heavy (late winter/early spring release) draught only
Real Heavy is a traditional Strong Scotch Ale (Wee Heavy). It has a rich brown color, and a deep caramel flavor. Malt flavors dominate and are balanced by the alcohol (9.7% a.b.v.). It is brewed with English crystal malt, English hops, and fermented with English ale yeast. Fans of the Bitter End's award winning Prescott's Wee Heavy will not be disappointed. ABV: 9.7%, IBU: , OG(plato):

Devil's Backbone (spring release) draught only, bottles 2010
Named for the scenic ridge that runs between Blanco and Wimberley, Devil's Backbone is a Belgian-style tripel. Czech Saaz hops and Belgian yeast give this ale its distinctive flavor and aroma. Candy sugar made in-house at the brewery adds strength without increasing heaviness. The result is a deceptively strong, pale golden ale.
ABV: 8.1%, IBU: 36, OG(plato): 18

Lost Gold IPA (summer release) draught only
Massive additions of Cascade, Columbus, Amarillo, and Summit hops make Lost Gold IPA a hop lover's dream. Vienna malt and pale English crystal malt give Lost Gold its rich golden-orange color.

Our unique anniversary ale is a fusion of the creative brewing traditions from Belgium and the USA. Copious additions of Amarillo hops from the Paciﬁc Northwest complement the ﬂavors of the Belgian yeast and spices, creating a new American classic. This ale is orange in color and hoppy, but not overly bitter, with citrus notes and a subtle spiciness. Raise a pint to our lucky 13th year!
ABV: 7.0%, IBU: 37, OG(plato): 15.8

ESB (year-round) draught only
Real Ale ESB pours a deep copper color and has an enticing aroma of fruit and caramel, with a subtle earthiness. A medium-bodied ale, our ESB showcases the fruitiness of our house yeast, along with the rich toffee flavors of English crystal malt. Added complexity is provided by a generous amount of English hops. Real Ale ESB finishes slightly dry with a mild spiciness that beckons another pint.
