Our house pale ale is back! This beer is near and dear to our hearts. It was our first hoppy beer recipe and we’re always stoked to have it back in the lineup. Also, with the benefit of hindsight and time, we’ve also really grown fond of the label write up that we came up with 6 or so years ago. It still totally holds true today!
Oh… hey there, thanks for reading our label! You must be a discerning drinker eager for more information or simply a curious label vagabond that enjoys a good read of words. Either way we’re happy your eyes stopped by.
We’re a bunch of idiots who thought it was a good idea to open a brewery in an old retrofitted calf barn (the jury is still out on the intelligence of this move). We make a lot of different beers in very small batches, but between our tasting panel of 2 childhood friends and 1 wife, we’ve determined that this is the recipe we like most. It’s hazy, juicy, and fruity with notes of peach, berry and citrus delivered on a cloud-like pillow for your mouth. It’s hopped like an IPA, but with a lower ABV for maximum session-ability. It’s all the things we love in a hoppy beer, and it’s one of our OG recipes.

back to Badlands. Even their pale ales pour like IPAs :) pineapple opaque and gorgeous as always. Bonus points for a cheeky label description too. Light refreshing nose of pine and lemon. Taste if forward hops, peach and balanced finish. Decent as always.

The Badlands boys usually produce IPAs, but this is one of their first brew, a pale ale, which I only just got to know. And while pale this beer is, it's more IPA than anything else. Strong apricot seed nose and taste. More bitter than their usual offering, there is also a tinge of watery sweetness.
Not one of their top beer but pretty great anyway.
