Our Beer
The experience of a good beer that aligns with with one's preferences, environment, and even state of mind, can alter one's consciousness (not entirely due to the alcohol) and elevate one to a more pleasant existence. That experience, combined with the social joys of sharing beer, is what drives us at Urban Consequence.Â
In the taproom: We offer full (16 oz), half (8 oz), and sample (4 oz) pours of our beers and full and half pours of our hard seltzers (and sodas). If you'd like to sample several beers, we do "flex flights", where you can design your own flight by selecting sample pours of any (or all) of the beers. In other words, our flights don't have a set number of beers.
To go:Â
Crowlers: We have 32-oz Twistee crowlers to fill to your order so you can enjoy our beer anywhere! These metal crowlers seal better than glass growlers, so they keep the beer fresher longer (although we recommend keeping them refrigerated as much as possible). However, the twist tops allow you to recap the crowler if you don't finish all the beer (as unlikely as that may be).
Kegs: We can do 1/6-BBL "sixtel" kegs (5.16 gallons) or 1/2-BBL (15.5 gallon) kegs. If you need it, we have pump and CO2-powered taps available for a refundable deposit. E-mail jeff.sable@urbanconsequencebrewing.com for pricing and availability.
Veterans Blend New School West Coast IPA
6.6% ABV | 85 IBU
We've teamed up again this year with the Memphis Brewers Association to bring you a beer featuring the annual Veterans Hop Blend. This year's Blend consists of Citra, Crystal, Ekuanot, El Dorado, and Simcoe hops. We added the hops primarily during the whirlpool and late in fermentation to soften their bitterness and bring out their aroma. The grain bill is light and malty to further allow the hop flavor and aroma to shine.
$1 of each pint sold goes to Irreverent Warriors Memphis, whose mission is to bring veterans together using humor and camaraderie to improve mental health and prevent veteran suicide. Proceeds from the hop sales themselves benefit Stop Soldier Suicide.
Mexicali Common
5% ABV | 35 IBU
An American original, the California Common style--or "steam" beer--was created to meet the beverage demands of the California Gold Rush. It's a "hybrid" beer--a lager fermented at ale temps. This delicious interpretation is based on a Mexican Vienna Lager, with barley, wheat, and corn malts.
This recipe, by Evan Comeaux, was the winner in a recent Memphis Brewers Association California Common competition!
The Regulars
We try to keep these beers on tap because they seem to have broad appeal. We may occasionally substitute a seasonal variation (e.g., a dunkelwiezen for the hefeweizen). Note that the heading in no way refers to the fiber content.
Hefeweizen
4.8% ABV | 16 IBU
This is a traditional Bavarian beer in which at least half the malt is wheat, rather than barley. It's also made with a particular type of yeast that produces clove and/or banana aromas. It is light and refreshing.
Irish Red Ale with Rye
5.9% ABV | 25 IBU
This is a basic, traditional, Irish red ale that is brewed using a specific type of yeast. We add some rye malt, which lightens the color and makes it a bit dryer.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Milk Stout
7.2% ABV | 36 IBU
This one is pretty much as described. It's a dark beer with chocolate, lactose, and peanut butter.
Note 1: This has much less lactose than milk, but you might want to be cautious if you're lactose intolerant.
Note 2: We do NOT use real peanut butter, but the flavoring is made in a facility that does process peanuts.
Kveik Munich Helles Lager
5.4% ABV | 25 IBU
A malty beer that has something to hide. True lagers are fermented at very low temperature over relatively long periods. This one uses a Kveik yeast that works very quickly and at higher temperatures.
The Irregulars
Brewing small batches makes it relatively feasible for us to try new recipes and respond to customer interests. Watch here for our newest offerings.
Blood Orange Blonde
5.2% ABV | 18 IBU
Back by popular demand, this bloody (orange) blonde is light, fruity, and refreshing. Blonde ale is sometimes referred to as a "gateway beer" because it is so light and clean. The added blood orange flavor is a bonus!
Idaho 7 SMaSH
4.9% ABV | 88 IBU
Idaho 7 hops are herbal and citrusy. "SMaSH" refers to a beer made with a "single malt and single hop". In this case, the malt is two-row barley and the hop is the Idaho 7. Hops are added at four different points during the brewing process, each of which extracts different flavor characteristics from them. This beer is dry and has a refreshing finish.
Midwest IPA
5.9% ABV | 44 IBU
Our Midwest IPA pulls together elements of multiple IPA styles: A little front-end bitterness from the West Coast, a little hazy from the East Coast, and a little more malt and color than some IPAs (without getting into DIPA territory). Cascade hops start out on the journey alone, but they pick up Simcoe, Citra, and a little Mosaic along the way.
Calamansi Berliner Weisse
2.7% ABV | 6 IBU
Berliner Weisse is a light, crisp, refreshing sour beer. Calamansi, also known as calamondin, Philippine lime, or Philippine lemon, is cultivated predominantly in the Philippines and has a sweet and sour flavor. Each sip delivers a burst of tropical brightness, balanced perfectly against the subtle sourness, culminating in a harmonious symphony of flavor.
Hard Seltzer
5.4% ABV | 0 IBU
Clean and crisp, our seltzer flavors may change periodically. Our current offerings are:
Black Cherry
Blueberry Lemonade
Mojito
Wild Berry
Note: There's no gluten in the ingredients we use to make our hard seltzers, but the seltzer is made in the same vessels as the beer. We thoroughly clean the vessels between batches, but there may be trace amounts of gluten.
