What They Make
Mainsail
Hint of sweet from the caramel notes & malt forward flavor, this American Amber Ale is sure to be a palette pleaser. Our first beer we ever brewed here at BIB.
Gypsy Beach
Subtle Hop & malt blend makes this American pale ale a good building block for non-hop enthusiasts.
Without a Paddle
Mild IPA with hoppy aroma but not a lot of lingering bitterness. A good, solid, drinkable IPA.
Kerr Lake
Crisp & refreshing make this German-style Kolsch our most popular beer at BIB. Light with subtle fruit aromas.
Pontoon Sunset
A full mouth feel with undertones of a roasty flavor & notes of chocolate. Our BIB Porter has none of that typical bitterness.
Lifejacket Required
A citrus smash IPA! The intense Citrus aromas & strong hop kick will leave your mouth watering for more.
