From The Old Man's Cellar
Backpocket Beer

The Truth is, you can tell a lot about a person by what hey keep in their back pocket - a useful pocketknife, a lucky coin, a worn-out photo from an old love that has never died.
Whatever it is, even if it wound up there by accident, there's a story behind it. A story that probably won't come out until you're in the right place, talking to the right people, with the right beer in hand.
German-inspired and hand-crafted right here at the Old Man, there's a Backpocket Beer perfect for every person, every occasion and - most importantly - every story.
Try one on for size

Jackknife GPA
German Pale Ale

When it came to a unique take on an IPA, one country's hops wasn't going to cut it.

Wooden Nickel Scottish
Peated lager

So, a German, a Scott and an Iowan walk into a bar and... an entirely unique beer was born.
