Representative Beer Menu

Freestone Blonde "A perfect transition beer for those who haven’t yet developed a taste for fuller-bodied beers." Mt. Hood and Noble hops.
Quarrymen Pale Ale American-style Pale Ale. "A well-defined hop flavor and aroma distinguish this classic beer. To create our Quarrymen Pale Ale, we start with London ale yeast. Its slightly mineral character is countered by a larger proportion of hops than some popular American-style pale ales utilize. Pitching rate is also a factor in the final hop flavor and aroma. We use Schrier pale malt and crystal malt; and the hops are all Cascade with Nugget used for bittering. As ever, we do not filter the beer. The Quarrymen Pale Ale is a dry hopped beer with a lowered carbonation level, which seems to accent the hop flavor."
Ruby Bloom American-style Amber Ale. Mt. Hood and Tettnanger hops. "his is a mild beer, with a malty toastiness, buttery smoothness and beautiful ruby color."
Big Stone Stout "Traditional flavor with smoky and woody overtones. Perceived as malty-rich at first, it finishes richly roasty and dry." East Kent Goldings hops.
Vision Weiss (seasonal) German-style hefeweizen with clove and lemon aroma. Mount Hood and Tettnanger hops (available in the spring and summer)
Java Porter (seasonal) Sumatra Blue Lington coffee from local roaster Partridge & Quigley is added. East Kent Goldings hops. (available in the winter - always on a handpull)
Watermelon Brew (seasonal) "Infused with natural watermelon flavoring, creating a unique summerbrew. Served with a wedge of fresh watermelon, this ale will awaken your taste buds and quench your thirst on a warm summer day." (brewed once a year in the summer)
Belgian Strong Pale Ale (occasional) "Gently hopped with East Kent Goldings". Light color using lightly roasted Pilsen malt and Belgian candi sugar.
India Pale Ale (occasional) Hops from England, Germany and the U.S.
Two handpulls at the bar normally have a cask-conditioned ale.
Often a single beer may be presented under  CO2 pressure, nitrogen, and on the hand pull (dry hopped and cask-conditioned). It's interesting to make comparisons.

Many Bloomington Brewing beers are available at pubs and restaurants in town. list
Kegs are available at Big Red Liquors, 418 N. College Ave.
