Dark Horse Brewing Co Trading

Founder/brewer Aaron Morse started Dark Horse in September 2000, brewing only about 400 barrels, or 12,400 gallons, of beer. In 2009, they brewed 10 times that, including a pale ale from Michigan grown hops! Dark Horse's flagship beer is the Crooked Tree IPA, the Reserve Special Black Bier Ale is reported to be something like a stout but with more hops, and rather malty with hints of dark chocolate. Other year-round beers include the Amber Ale and the Raspberry Ale.

Dark Horse also does a series of stouts in the fall. Beginning in October, the brewery releases one different stout each month from October through February. The first is the One Oatmeal Stout, followed by Too Cream Stout in November, Tres Blueberry Stout in December, Fore Smoked Stout and Plead the Fifth Imperial Stout.
