German style pilsner brewed with Cascade hops (5.3% ABV)
4 hands Incarnation IPA
Rise up and tantalize your tastebuds with our Mosaic-hopped IPA! Incarnation pours a glowing amber hue with a firm collar of off-white foam. A subtle malt sweetness provided by pale and caramel malts gives way to loads of pineapple, passion fruit and candied citrus aromas and flavors in this medium bodied IPA. (7% ABV)
Ale Asylum Wörtlord Imperial Stout (2018)
Aged in Four Roses Bourbon barrels, this limited edition Russian Imperial Stout has a silky texture and entices the taste buds with rich chocolate and bourbon essences. With neither adjuncts nor liquor added, Wörtlord is naturally nuanced and embodies our belief that brewers make wört, but yeast make beer. (10.5% ABV)
Central Waters Rye Barrel Stout
Aged in Rye Whiskey barrels, our workhorse of a Stout oozes smooth layers of chocolate and entwines with sharp notes of rye that are rounded out with ample aging in American oak. Enjoy! (11.65% ABV)
Odell Brewing 90 Shilling
We introduced 90 Shilling, our flagship beer, at our opening party in 1989. For a while, we'd been wondering - what would happen if we lightened up the traditional Scottish ale? The result is an irresistibly smooth and delicious medium-bodied amber ale. The name 90 Shilling comes from the Scottish method of taxing beer. Only the highest quality beers were taxed 90 Shillings. A shilling was a British coin used from 1549 to 1982. We think you'll find this original ale brilliantly refreshing, and worth every shilling. (5.3% ABV)
Vander Mill Brut Cider
From Michigan, A Cider Mill and Winery specializing in uniquely crafted hard ciders.

The Glass Nickel is a true pizza joint. Nothing too fancy. Just incredible pies at reasonable prices.
I left Wisconsin a few decades ago. While I love my new home in Colorado, thin crispy crust does not exist. So a recent visit to Madison provided the opportunity do some decent ‘za.
The cracker thin crust was perfectly sauced. Not dry. Not soggy. Perfect. And the toppings were top quality. My craving was more than satisfied.
My daughter had the MacDaddy—hand tossed crust with Alfredo, pasta and mozzarella. Not typically my thing, but oh my. It was like cheesy bread on steroids! What a pie!!!
Glass Nickle is amazing. Classic pizza joint serving up great pies and decent prices.
