Big Tex Imperial Pale Ale
Our biggest & hoppiest pale ale ever! Packed from beginning to end of the brewing process with Amarillo hops, we celebrate a truly American hop. Grounded with caramel malts this is a beer that is redolent with flavors & aromas.

Tornado Alley Alt
Richly flavored brown ale done in the traditional German style with Hallertau hops. Some say its better then our best selling Walnut Brown Ale; you be the judge!

Cuvee de Beertrips
A strong golden ale with a west coast American hops combined with Belgian & Munich pale malts realized with a spicy Belgian yeast strain. A globally inspired beer!

Not that it will do you any good at this point, but Vine Park celebrated their fastest-selling growler batch ever with their Cuvee de Beertrips which just sold out. Those of you attending the AHA National Conference may still be in luck as they’ve saved a keg for the event. VP describes this beer as a “boundary bending style of Belgian malts and yeast combined with Czech hops overlaid with American hops…”

Vine Park also rolled out a new beer this week, 100% EVIL IPA. “A full bodied American West Coast style India Pale Ale that is brewed with 100% Centennial hops from beginning to end. No little bit of this or a little bit of that, this beer is 100% Evil. Nothing good about it but the taste.”

This beer is available in growlers and the Vine Park crew will also sample it at St. Paul Summer Beer Festival. It will also be added to the recipe list available to Vine Park customers to brew their own batch.
