Raccoon
Lodge and Brew Pub is a Micro Brewery. We produce our own beer,
i.e. Ale in a 10 Barrel brewing system. Our beer philosophy is that "Beer
is Food!". We brew clean and consistent beers that are well balanced and
true to style. We are responding to today’s culture of alcohol awareness
by brewing beers that reflect mainstream industry standards. We want the
customer to enjoy our beer and food without the distraction of excessively
high alcohol levels. Our brewing facility is state of the art for breweries
our size and reflects our commitment to the product and our consumers.

Ring Tail Pale Ale - This beer is pale gold in color. It’s light body and mouth feel is balanced with hops for a crisp finish. This is our introduction beer into Micro’s.
Celtic Copper *5.3%
This ale has a deep mahogany hue that foretells of its rich roasted malt flavor. Imported English hops are added late in the brewing, to balance and augment the big malt profile.
Black Snout Stout - This beer is coffee black with deep red/brown undertones. This beer has all the rich roasted malt flavors short of the astringent and is a well balanced beer that suits our 9 month rainy season. We also have this on Nitro.
Blond Bock *6.2%
This ale has a rich golden color and is made from select pale malts. It
has a depth of malt flavor that is well balanced by a bold hop profile.
Blond Bock has all the pleasing aspects of a Bock without the cloying
aftertaste.
IPA *5.8%
Raccoon Lodge IPA is made with traditional floor malted English Pale Malt
and imported Kent Golding hops. This deep amber ale is rich in malt body
to balance a hop profile big enough to
please the hops lover in us all.
