Double Black ™
Imperial Black IPA - One of the most extreme, and yet deceptively quaffable IPAs we've ever crafted. As such, we call it Double Black and it's not for the faint of heart. It's got an amazing balance of black malts and hops with an intense depth of character of rich malts, but not too heavy.
First featured during the Opening Reception at the Big Beer Festival in Vail in January 2012 and paired with a spicy pork empanadas.

Poor Richard’s Ale ™
THE commemorative brew for Ben Franklin's 300th Birthday!
Champion Brown - Colorado Sate Fair '11
Silver Medal Brown Ale – North American Beer Awards ‘10
This Colonial-style beer is a modern interpretation of a beer that Benjamin Franklin could have savored in his lifetime. Our award-winning, ORIGINAL recipe was brewed by over 100 professional breweries throughout the nation (including including Anheuser-Busch!) It's a great tasting amber/brown ale thanks to American ingenuity of using an indigenous New World ingredient, corn. During the brew, we also add a touch of molasses (the everyday sweetener of the Colonists) to give it a slight spiciness and to offset the documented hop shortage of the time. One of our most popular flagship beers!

Mill Town Mild ™
The perfect beer if you're having more than one. Introducing Mill Town Mild™... Brewed in the style of Dark Mild Ale from the Midlands of England. It's big on flavor with imported amber and brown malts, but yet, light in alcohol. This makes it VERY drinkable. At 3.2% ABV, it's a true, "Session Beer" and the kind of beer workers would quaff in quantity after a hard day at the mine or the mill. To add to the wide range of beers styles we already offer... from light to dark... and from mellow to hoppy... we can now offer beers from low alcohol to the high octane. And, it’s only available at Pagosa Brewing!

Homemade drunken lamb sausage, sweet red onion & grape chutney and sweet potato hash (Sausages made with Old Geezer reduction.) |

Old Kommie ™
Created by homebrewer Jason Cox of Pagosa Springs. It was the Best of Show at the 2011 County Fair homebrew competition. As such, it was selected as this year's Pro-Am (Professional/Amateur) entry. We took Jason's recipe and scaled it up from a 5-gallon homebrew size to a professional 170-gallon batch. Old Kommie is brewed in the style of a Russian Imperial Stout, which is the darkest, richest, and most intense of all the stouts. It's got massive amounts of dark and caramel malts, yet with enough bitterness for balance... making it amazingly smooth and quaffable. На здоровье! (Na zdorovie!)
