When you think of whitewater and Colorado, you think of the Colorado river right? Well, not us, we think of the Whitewater Wheat beer. This wheat beer is unfiltered and has a cloudy, golden color.

In nine years, we've only featured a couple of beers that fall into the fruit beer category. Why? Most domestic fruit beers are not well made. As real fruit is both expensive and adds a fair amount of complexity to the brewing process due to their natural sugars, most brewers brew their fruit ales with flavor extracts that make you feel like you're drinking a raspberry pie, not a beer.
