Rafters Grille &
Brewery offers six house crafted beers on tap. All of which are manufactured in our 14 barrel in-house brewery visible
from the dining room.
All of the beers brewed at Rafters use premium
ingredients. We do not fine, filter, or force carbonate our beer. It is an
all-natural product devoid of chemicals or
additives. |

Beers on
Tap Today: |
|
American Lager: |
A crisp
golden, premium American lager brewed with
Pilsner malt and German Hallertauer hops.
More flavorful than your standard domestic, but
not as hoppy as a pilsner. (4.5% ABV) |
|
Hefeweizen: |
American
unfiltered wheat beer made of 50% malted barley
and 50% malted wheat with light German hop
flavors. Light and clean without the
fruity flavors of German wheat beers.
(4.0% ABV) |
|
Pale
Ale: |
An
American pale ale, light amber in color with a
light malt flavor and dry-hopped with Cascade
hops. Dry and smooth with a light hop
bite. (5.5% ABV) |
|
India
Pale Ale: |
A
Pacific Northwest-style IPA with 60 Bitterness
Units and a big hop flavor from a generous dry
hopping with Columbus, Cascade, and Chinook
hops. Definitely for the hop-head.
(7.0% ABV) |
|
Amber: |
Dark
red American amber with strong malt flavors
including toffee, caramel, and light roasted
bitterness. Lightly sweet and bitter, a
good middle-of-the-road beer. (6.0% ABV) |
|
Seasonal: |
Brewer's choice. |
