Like the mighty oak that stands like an anchor for the brewery on the bank of Hickory Creek, this pale ale serves the same roll for our fall line-up. Heavily hopped in a way to give a lot of hop aroma but without being overly bitter. ABV - 5.4%, IBUs - 19.53
Our version of this popular German shandy is a 50-50 mix of our Collar County Kolsch and our own home-made ginger ale. This makes it a cool, refreshing summer thirst-quencher, especially after a long cycling ride (“Radler” also happens to be the German word for “cyclist”!) ABV - 3.3% , IBUs - 8.5

Marley's Ghost is a major character in Charles Dickens' immortal story "A Christmas Carol." Marley is also a nearby town in New Lenox Township. Marley also happens to be the name of the street where Hickory Creek Brewing was founded. So what better name for our annual holiday ale? We change the recipe every year, but it's always spiced up with a variety of flavors and a big dose of Christmas spirit. ABV - 6.1%

PORTERS AND STOUTS

A tripel is a modern version of the beer that Trappist monks first brewed in Belgian abbeys more than 200 years ago.
