Jackie O's fine brews!

Burning Hill

This beer was originally brewed with the intention to clean up their malt room. They had a challenge to create an interesting beer with many different types of malt that would make sense to their patrons. As the brewmeister began to develop the recipe with fall in mind, he remembered the many fall hikes that he took as a child. Many of the aromas and flavors of the wilderness began to come to life. Nuts, evergreen sap, honey, maple, stone fruit and smoke all found a place in this ale. A warming ale released in late fall.

ABV: 6.75%

Malt: American 2-row, Munich, Vienna, White Wheat, Biscuit, Cara 8, Special B, Simpsons Peated malt

Hops: Northern Brewer, Hallertau

Razz Wheat

60% white wheat and 40% malted 2-row create a nice mild American wheat ale.  After fermentation is complete, 84 pounds of fresh Oregon raspberries are added to the beer giving this ale a unique and playful personality.  The rosy haze and sticky head embody a continuum of sour sweetness held together by a wheat backbone.  This is Jackie O’s bestseller and a favorite among Ohio University students.
