Twain’s Billiards and Tap proudly brews and serves some of the boldest and consistently-pleasing ales in the region.

Twain’s continues its tradition of bringing you Great Beer in 2013.

2013 harkens in a new era here at Twain’s Billiards & Tap.  Chase Medlin takes over as Twain’s Head Brewer as we welcome Chicagoan Brad Davis to the family here at Twain’s.   You can expect some of the beers we have been perfecting during the last year to stay in our rotation, but always be on the lookout for something new!  We have already introduced a few that have really been crowd pleasers, like the River Sunset Amber or Criminal Sin IPA, so you should definitely come by to see whats on tap.

You can also look forward to some more collaboration ales.  2012 gave us awesome opportunities to work with some great people to make some delicious beer, and we don’t aim to stop, it is one way of doing our part to strengthen the craft beer community, and one we truly enjoy.

 

Come on down and say hello to the guys making all that great beer.  Cheers.

 

 


Freshly Brewed Draught Beer

Available in 12oz., 20 oz., and pitchers.

Four Count Pale Ale

Bright orange with a white head.  Earthy hop nose with citrus peeking through.  The malt backbone supports the body and compliments the earth and citrus hop flavors.  5.4% ABV

“When angry count to four, when very angry, swear.”  Pudd’nhead Wilson’s Calendar

Self Determination Belg-IPA

This IPA followed its own path during an unpredictable fermentation, inheriting Belgian-style characteristics.  Floral aroma with hints of Belgian esters.  American West Coast hops shine through with citrus and spicy notes.  Finishes with a smooth bitterness. 5.7% ABV

Tequila barrel-aged Criminal Sin IPA

Criminal Sin IPA briefly aged in an Ultimo Tequila barrel to keep the tropical fruit and citrus hop flavors up front.  This IPA has a lovely subtle tang of tequila on the finish, which is nicely complimentary.  7.2% ABV

Smoke on the Messipi Nut Brown Ale

A malt lovers ale, highlighted by a toasted nutty flavor and light smoke.  Notes of sweet toffee and caramel, with sublte roast and coffee undertones.  6.3% ABV.

“Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates.”  M. Twain

Sawyer’s American Wheat

Glowing golden-orange with an off white head.  Wheat with an edge of spice on the nose.  Excellent mouthfeel delivers a mild fruity sweetness with a pleasant hop crispness that carries through to the next sip.  4.8% ABV.

“People are different.  And it is the best way.” Tom Sawyer, Detective

Berry Tart

Twain’s Heavenly Spring Ale blended with boysenberry & raspberry  and a hint of lactic acid.

The result is a wonderful nose of berry, tart flavors upfront with a nice body.   Finishes sour with a hint of citrus.

 

LIMITED

Criminal Sin IPA

A rich juicy IPA, beautiful orange in color, with a wonderful fruity nose.  Six malts and six hops, with a good dose of Citra, were used in the brewing of this wickedly good beer.  6.3% ABV

“..as delicious as the less criminal forms of sin”  M. Twain

River Sunset Amber

A smooth amber session ale with a complex malt base that is complimented by the use of Citra, Australian Galaxy, and Australian Summer hops.  This nice clean ale finishes with a hint of bright hop.  5.7%  ABV

Black Eye Roasted Rye

This Roasted Rye India Black Ale is jet-black with a medium body.  The Citra and Amarillo dry hops shine through the roasty malts, offering a tropical fruit aroma.  Balanced in flavor by the use of rye.  5.4% ABV.
