Black Hat 2025

This is our German-style Schwarzbier, or dark lager. The name Black Hat is to honor all firefighters, but it especially pays homage to our master brewer, Shawn Adams.

Another beer you can expect on tap when we open is Black Hat — our award-winning German-style Schwarzbier (dark lager). Brewed in honor of firefighters everywhere and especially our master brewer, Shawn Adams, this lager delivers smooth notes of roasted malt and chocolate balanced by subtle, spicy hops.
