Heckler Brewing usually offers eight
house beers, as well as eight additional
brews that are rotated on tap. Wine and
cider also are options for those who are not
necessarily beer fans.
Miller describes Heckler's Oktoberfest
brew, which was set to launch in mid-
September, as an Irish stout similar to
Guinness, a milk stout whose popularity
picks up in wintertime.
Another new fall beer is Kimpossibrue,
a milder, tart brew known as a gose.
A high-alcohol imperial porter will be
added in collaboration with Bright Light
Brewing Co.
"It's great for winter months, a real
robust beer that will warm up your
insides," Miller says. "Hopefully, it will be
a big hit. It's been six or seven months in
the works."
e high-alcohol Belgian Tripel is
expected to become more popular as it gets
colder, he says.
"Some of our higher alcohol beers do
better in the winter," Miller notes.
Because the microbrewery is small, he
says, "to make anything new is difficult. I
really have only one or two new things at
any given time."

brew called Pirate Hooker, a milk stout
he home brewed and then took to
Heckler.
