This crisp amber lager is our take on a classic style known as Common, one of the oldest American beer styles. While the West Coast may claim its origins, we adapted the ingredients to suit our local palate. Northern Brewer hops bring a subtle minty, earthy character, balanced by a clean finish & a touch of caramel malt sweetness. Years ago, our regulars asked for a beer that was crisp, balanced & easy to drink. This was our answer. Beer for the locals. This beer is Manitou Common.

Clear, dark copper color; sparse carbonation; thin head, white with spotty flecks of foam inside the glass. Warm, toasted malt smell with mild, fruity esters. Delicate flavors of light caramel, brown sugar, toffee, and roasted nuts; low level bitterness. Medium body; smooth and lightly velvety; light stickiness; easy, soft dryness at the finish.

An uncommonly good take on the common beer style; very tasty, warm, and nutty.
