Our Beers
All of the beers have a name that is unique to the Castle Danger and North Shore area.

Danger Ale will be available year-round, along with a wide variety of seasonal brews that change every few months.  We typically brew our seasonal beers five times.  When it's gone, it's gone till next year!

Danger Ale
Long ago when cliffs were called castles and between them was a reef that meant danger, is an American strong ale with great hop flavor and target gravity of 6%, making it dangerously good and a true Castle Danger Ale.

Our lightest in flavor beer.  Perfect for those warm summer days by the lake.  Honey and Cara malts combined with a little corn and base malt gives this beer a creamy, refreshingly good taste.  5.5% ABV, available June

Gale Force Wheat
A new take on a classic style. This beer has that great hefe weizen banana-clove flavor with 77 IBU's worth of hop additions. Needless to say, this isn't your father’s wheat beer.  2013 version has an addition of freshly grated orange zest.  6% ABV, available May

Nestor Grade Amber Ale
An early fall favorite to help usher in cooler nights and autumn leaves.  strong malt aromas with berry-nut and raisin-like flavor, accompanied with three different hop varieties to balance all the malty goodness.  
7.0% ABV – 41 IBUs, available September

George Hunter Stout
An Irish classic brewed in memory of my Great-Great Grandfather George Hunter.  He was an Irish immigrant and brewer at one of the first Minnesota breweries in Tower.  8% ABV, available November

Gentleman George Hunter 

Aged for 10 months in Jack Daniel whiskey barrels, our George Hunter Stout is given a nice bourbon, oak and vanilla flavor.  This specialty beer will only be sold in a 750ml growler.  The beer will cost $14 and the growler will cost $3.  8% ABV, available while supplies last.

Camp Depression Lager
Crisp, slightly sweet, with a traceable hop finish.  Camp Depression was an old logging camp north of Gooseberry Falls State Park.  For those who stayed, the top bunk meant warm and comfortable, and the bottom bunk meant a long cold night.  Since lagers are bottom and cold fermented, I thought this a suitable name.  An original Castle Danger brew, taking a year off of production for Nordic.

Based off a traditional Finnish beer called Sahti, which claims to be one of the oldest continually brewed styles of beer in the world. Pilsner malt, Juniper berries, and Rye are traditional for the style. We have also added our own tweaks, one includes the use of California Common lager yeast. This golden colored brew is our popular winter lager.  5% ABV, available February

Every time we brew our IPA it's different.  Experimenting with the malt bill and hops has allowed us to sample many varieties of IPAs, from fresh Simcoe & Ctira hops to New Zealand hops.  85IBUs and 6.7% ABV.  Available now with Zythos hops!

Double Crossing IPA
Our 2 year Anniversary beer! We put an amazing amount of hops into this beer (4lbs per BBL), it has a lot of tropical fruit and citrus going on, and clocks in at 9.1% ABV. It is highly drinkable and balanced despite crazy amounts of hops plus being the biggest beer we have brewed to date.

A Scottish-inspired ale brewed with heather tips, fresh Castle Danger spruce tips, and cranberry.  7% ABV

Wimpy
Wimpy is a light golden lager with excellent drinkability that is perfect for any occasion.  4.5% ABV
