I’ve got some bad news, the beer fermented out, but it was not to spec. So we sadly put it down the drain and had to start again. I know this is a huge bummer to add on the extra time, but we want this beer to be awesome, and the first batch was not […]
The first batch of Baby Cookie unfortunately went sour in the tank and we had to re-brew the batch. My apologies for not getting an update about this out sooner.

Warning: This beer is so Wisconsin it might cause you to get out your seat and jump around. It’s made with fresh Cranberries from “up north”, and is best enjoyed under the bright shining light of the moon. Oh Cranberry Alvarez, praise to thee we sing.

We brewed Batshit Crazy, inoculated it with a souring bacteria, then aged it in used bourbon barrels. The lactobacillus and the lactose create lactic acid which folds really well into the complexity of the coffee and bourbon notes in the beer. NOW AVAILABLE AT VILLAGE LIQUOR, PARTY PORT, AND MCFARLAND LIQUOR! GIN AND JUICE, […]
Nick was nice enough to come over today to help out with the brew day! We had him helping out with a little bit of everything today.

We tasted Noctis a few weeks ago, and its coming right along! Like all barrel aged beers, the barrels decide when the beer is at its optimal taste, Wait too long and the beer may taste a little over charred, oaky, or draw to many tannins out of the wood. Don’t wait enough, and you […]
Vanilla Wafer Porter won the competition by 10 votes this April! It is a rich porter with a little cocoa throughout the mouthful with a strong vanilla wafer finish. We can almost say for sure that it will run out soon! So make sure you go preorder before it’s too late! VANILLA WAFER LABEL […]
In the closest vote in MobCraft History, Jeremy Ratcliffe and his ALOHA DANKESCHÖN took the lead by ONE vote! This goes to show that your vote does matter!

Aloha Dankeschön won the March competition by just 1 vote! Your March winner will be a witbier brewed with cocoa, coffee and coconut!

We just brewed the Orange You Glad Hefewiezen Monday and Tuesday of this week to which we will be adding blood oranges! The Hefe yeast is a vigorous beast, as when I came in this morning there was a layer of beer on the floor from the tank blowing over with such a strong fermentation. […]
We added the spices to the beer last Friday, powdered cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg all went into the fermenter at crash cool and the chopped vanilla beans went in during the transfer on saturday. We carbed it up yesterday and it tastes delicious, the spice is subtle with a nice balance of sweet/bitter with a nice […]
Single’s Awareness Day Soured is out of here! Soooo its not Valentine’s Day anymore, we got together with Jeff (the submitter of the beer and started spitballing ideas for names) after a few back and forths we can up with “Orange You Glad I Didn’t Brew Banana” Then when we couldn’t think of an […]
WARNING: THIS IS NOT A LOVE STORY “This February 14th, single blood oranges cry into a lake of tart hefeweizen. This day may be sour for some, but sweet for others.” Blood Oranges and Coriander combine in this classic Hefewiezen for a tart and fruity reminder that no matter who we are with […]
Taylor was able to stop by for one of the brews of Eggnogstic stout! The entire brewery smelled like chocolate cake all day! We haven’t used a lot of Ashburne Mild Malt but man did it ever smell good. It is now happily fermenting out and will be adding the spices and vanilla as soon […]
Noctis is unlike any other brew, it can be described as an aggressive toast and roasted flavors with an undertone of sweet/malt on the nose. Taste is of a rich (but not decadent) stout with moderate-high levels of roasted flavors, fruity esters and a nice alcohol burn paired with a high moderate bitterness finishing out […]
If we’re being honest, Eggnogstic Stout blew the competition out of the water! Eggnogstic Stout is a milk Stout brewed with nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves lactose, flaked oats and vanilla beans for a silky smooth, rich sweet stout. ← Label sketches are here! Eggnogstic can be preordered until it’s gone! & […]
Here’s how we made it happen… Durian fruit is a rather large spiky fruit that contains small pieces of yellow custard like flesh surrounding rather large seeds the shape and color of unshelled Brazil nuts. In order to get at those unique and tasty morsels (sometimes called “smelly” by the uncultured or unsophisticated) we need […]
Known as the “King of Fruits”, the durian is a southeast asian fruit with a rich custard like texture and a pungent aroma often described as onions or rotting meat. MobCraft head brewer Andrew Gierczak has developed a recipe to mitigate the durian smell and incorporate Durian and Cashews into a Pilsner which was released in […]
It was a fair race and Noctis had to beat out Chocolate Chip Cookie Stout and Maple Oatmeal Milk Stout to come out on top! ← We’re working on a label now, here is a rough sketch we started with! In case you didn’t already know, Noctis is an Imperial Stout aged in bourbon barrels with […]
NOVEMBER’S DURIAN & CASHEW PILSNER Tweet at us and let us know what you think of the label design! → Don Durio is brewed and happily fermenting away in the tank! This pale pilsner has just a tiny bit of Cara munich malt in it to give it some character aside from the predominating Pilsen malt. Make no […]
Updates on November’s durian & cashew pilsner! Long story short; meandering river of pale pilsner malt supports the languid and pungent raft of durian fruit as it carries you along shores dotted with the cashew-strewn rubble that was your expectations’ frail civilization. His story.. Young Don Durio, now a famous 16th century Spanish explorer, is humiliated […]

Beelzebubs run has happily fermented out and has been transferred over to our bright beer tank! Now we just have to add the remaining cacao nibs and the raspberries. We do this by basically making a tea with the ingredients and then adding it to the fermenter. Pretty soon we will be getting a power […]
So with some good back and forthin’ with the Dale, the guy who submitted this beer, we came up with a new name and settled on an image! Chocolate Raspberry Porter will now be known as Beelzebub’s Run! From napkins and sketch books, our illustrator Sam, and Dale settled on an image to be featured on […]
Peter came by the brewery to sit down with us and talk about his beer, Mistah Tea which won the May 2013 Vote! Check out the video for tasting notes:
The Berliner Weiss is all done fermenting and is happily aging in oak! In a epic battle of Wisconsin versus the rest of the world we figured it wouldn’t be fair to do a whiskey old-fashioned without giving Bandy a fair shot, so we decided to do a little experiment and age half of the […]
