Boot-Check Pale Ale

Boot Check Pale Ale utilizes three complementary malts that provide a solid backdrop of slight biscuity sweetness . The malt bill was hopped with Columbus for bittering and the trio of Cascade, Centennial and Amarillo for both flavor and aroma. However, whole cone hops were introduced to the later stages of the brew lending a wonderful aroma and slight hop haze. Dry hopping was done to further accentuate the flavor and aroma of the beer. The result is a slightly hazy golden brew with a citrus forward hop profile balanced by notes of spice to supplement the malts. Although the beer is special in its own right, Milner's Gate has named this beer to support the efforts of the Jae Foundation and their "boot check" moments taking place every day right here in the Magic Valley. The foundation is a hardworking team of people who are sharing moments with people who struggle with different forms of mental health, reminding people to slow down and check on their loved ones, and helping to spread awareness on topics that aren't talked about often enough. To learn more about the Jae Foundation you can visit their website at jaefoundation.com or ask your server for more information. Proceeds from every beer purchase will be donated to the Jae Foundation to continue gifting boots and sharing the power of a boot check!

Bonny Lass Red Ale

In honor of St. Patrick's Day, Milner's Gate is proud to release Bonny Lass Irish Red Ale. This offering is all about the malts, in just the right ratios, to provide a smooth drinking beer with medium body and mouth feel. The color is a lovely shade of red and the flavors are semi-sweet and malty with notes of caramel and toffee with slightly quick finish by way of roasted grains. Hops are in the background, but for those of you who can perceive them, English styles were used exclusively. Not just for Irish celebrations, this beer is wonderful on its own, but pairs remarkably well with Ribs & Rings.

Make My Day IPA

Go ahead . . . enjoy a Make My Day IPA. Four grains make up the grist of this India Pale Ale with rye malt being the star of the show and adding a distinct flavor to the malt bill. Citra and El Dorado play a supporting role to Strata hops which adds a mid-palate berry, passion fruit and a little dank essence to the flavor profile. The use of whole cone hops during brewing and dry-hopping during fermentation adds flavors and aromas reminiscent of citrus and berries. A pleasing bitterness accentuated by effervescent carbonation completes this experience. This beer is wonderful on its own or paired with bold food selections. Let this beer Make Your Day!

Get The Hefe Outta’ Here

When it comes to ales, Germany is most famous for their wheat beers, with Hefeweizen being the most common—often poured into towering vase-like glasses, this cloudy southern German specialty is all about the yeast. Heck, it's right there in the name—'hefeweizen’ translates to "yeast wheat" in German. The beer's cloudy appearance and powerful aromatics are the direct result of an unusual yeast strain that is essential to producing this classic style. It pours a beautiful pale, straw-golden color, with a lasting lacy white head. On the palate you’ll get mild hints of banana, bubblegum and spice, with the overall result being a delicious, very refreshing wheat-based ale.

Happy Camper Lager

Most of us here at The Gate develop a slight case of cabin fever around mid-February, and we start to get a little bit anxious to play outside in the Magic Valley and beyond. Not that we don’t love winter, but you know how it is. In this spirit, Brewmaster Quay Marshall has crafted a terrific beer definitely suitable for the season, ‘Happy Camper Springtime Lager’. This unfiltered beer pours a beautiful light amber color with just a hint of toasted bread. Medium-bodied and highly quaffable, with subtle malt notes that give way to floral, spicy and herbal characteristics of the German-style hops.

South Hills Pils

Bohemian or Czech style Pilsner originated in the westernmost and largest historical region of what is now the Czech Republic. While still crisp and clean like other Pilsner style beers, Bohemian style pilsners have a spicy-hop character anda nice, rich complex maltiness. In addition, this style usually has a bit more malt sweetness than a German style would. This helps encounter the substantial hop bitterness making it more balanced & well-rounded.

Finger Of Fate IPA

This was our biggest, fullest-bodied IPA to date, delivering a beautiful mouthful of citrus, along with dank pine flavors, and more of a ‘hop-bomb’ than any of our previous IPA offerings. Yet because of the solid malt backbone and Quay’s mastery of the brewer’s art, the finish is crisp and dry, making for an extremely drinkable brew. The mix? It’s brewed with Magnum, Centennial and Cascade hops in the boil, some beautiful Chinook hop-hash in the whirlpool, then dry-hopped with more Centennial and Cascade. YeeHaw and Giddyup! IPA lovers are going to be all-in for this beautifully balanced beer. The name “Finger Of Fate” refers to a beloved feature in the Sawtooth Mountains that some of us here at Milner’s have climbed over the years. Sadly, the final top pitch of “the finger” was toppled in a recent earthquake, but it is still well-worth the work to get there, and we can all remember amazing times in the mountains whenever we down a Finger Of Fate IPA.

Fall Down Brown

‘Fall Down Brown’ is an award-winning beer from Milner’s Gate Brewmaster Quay Marshall, and was the very first beer brewed here at Milner’s Gate. It is a customer favorite and one of our flagship brews for sure. ‘Fall Down’ combines a roasty flavor with notes of chocolate and nuttiness that create a full-flavored brown ale. While it is somewhat malt focused, there is mild hop bitterness with an earthy hop flavor. And even though Fall Down Brown may be dark in color, it is actually very easy-drinking, and it’s sessionable enough to have a few any time of the year. ‘Fall Down’ pairs wonderfully with grilled meats or vegetables, and the slight char from grilling will enhance the roasted malts in the beer adding a new depth of flavor.

Milner’s Leicht

‘Milner’s Leicht’ is a light-bodied, refreshing beer made in the style of a German “leichtbier”, which is essentially just a German version of the popular light American lager. To be fair to the style though, and to the German beer lovers for that matter, Milner’s Leicht doesn’t have nearly the reluctance to feature actual beer-ish flavors that the average American lager does, and therefore it is perhaps closer in style to a German pilsner than the vast majority of American lagers. This crisp, refreshing brew pours a very pale, bright and clear golden color, and goes down real smooth and easy all the way. And by the way, as you may have guessed, the German word ‘leicht’ translates to ‘light’ in English.

Dunkel Buck

‘Dunkel Buck’ is a delicious ‘dunkel’ style beer created by brew-master Quay Marshall. The inspiration for the name of this beer is the classic comedy movie “Uncle Buck” starring the late, great John Candy. Dunkel means “dark” in German, and this signature dark brew offers beer-lovers a distinctive bottom-fermented lager, characterized by balanced flavors of chocolate, bread crust and caramel, that despite the malt-forward flavor profile does not offer an overly sweet impression. Rather, you’ll find a great balance between the distinct character of malt and the refined touch of bitterness from the noble hops, indicative of what many beer drinkers from around the world have come to expect and love from the great tradition of German-style brewing. Cheers to ‘Dunkel Buck’ and to Quay for creating another crowd-pleasing beer from ‘The Gate!'

Mamba Time IPL

From the mind of Quay Marshall, our very own creative, mad-scientist brewmaster, ‘Mamba Time’ is an American pale ale style beer, with the unique twist of using lager yeast. Also made with copious amounts of Cashmere and Cascade hops in both the boil and in the dry-hopped finish. Pleasing aromas and flavors of citrus and tropical fruit are present but the infusion of the cashmere hops balance-out the sweetness and make for a crisp, clean finish. The name “Mamba Time” was chosen to honor the great Kobe Bryant and his incredible “Mamba Mentality”. One dollar from the sale of every ‘Mamba Time IPL’ will be donated to a fund that has been set up to benefit the families of the victims of the helicopter crash. RIP Kobe and Gianna!

Eleventh Hour IPA

This is our second time brewing ‘Eleventh Hour IPA’ and as much as we loved the first batch, this one is even better! Brewmaster Quay Marshall carefully selected four different types of malt to ensure the strong malt backbone needed for a great IPA. Those malts are then combined with Magnum, Chinook, Cascade and Amarillo hops, resulting in our own Idaho version of a neo-classic Northwest-style IPA. The payoff is a medium-bodied, bold, wonderfully balanced and refreshing IPA with just a hint of citrus. All of those wonderful hop aromas and flavors are present right up front, but the overly bitter quality that so many IPAs sometimes exhibit is subdued and not at all overpowering. ‘Eleventh Hour IPA’ is a clean, crisp, crowd-pleasing brew, that demonstrates the art of brewing, beautifully achieved.

This brew is a scrumptious blend of our delicious Milner’s Gate “Blackadar American Stout” combined with our very popular “Ida-Hop IPA”. The result of this pairing makes for the perfect marriage between the roasty-toasty aromas and flavors of the stout with the crisp, clean and slightly bitter notes from the IPA. The chocolate and coffee flavors of the stout are balanced by the Ida-Hop, and likewise the bitterness of the hops is mellowed by those hints of dark chocolate and espresso from the stout. This magical concoction is rich, satisfying and full-bodied, yet extremely drinkable, and has been a favorite with our beer-loving friends who want to venture safely into the dark side.

Pang Wangle Belgian Wit

As we entered the dog days of the crazy summer of 2020, our Brewmaster Quay Marshall created the perfect beer for those times: “Pang Wangle Belgian Wit”. An authentic Belgian ale yeast was used in the brew, lending this wheat beer a slight clove aroma that disappears into the many other flavors. Malted wheat, un-malted wheat and oats give this ale a great end-of-summer flavor that has a solid wheat beer taste while still finishing light and dry. Small amounts of Coriander and orange peel were added at the end of the boil process to add subtle notes of complexity and refreshment. Our Pang Wangle Belgian Wit is a thirst-quenching beer that’s perfect for the end of summer and the start of fall. And about that name: to “Pang Wangle” is an old expression that means “To live or go along cheerfully in spite of minor misfortunes”. The perfect attitude and the perfect beer for any time!

When The Helles?

Brewmaster Quay Marshall has created another distinctive craft-brew to add to our diverse selection here at ‘The Gate’ - this time in the tradition and style of the great German “Helles Lagers”. The original Helles-style lagers, [and by the way, ‘helles’ means ‘bright’ in German], were originally developed around Munich in the late nineteenth century by Bavarian brewers hoping to compete with the hugely popular pilsners of the day, which were coming out of Czechoslovakia. Our version is made with Mount Hood Hops, which are a Northwest hop, cross-bred with the traditional German Noble Hops, therefore lending some of the same Bavarian characteristics to the brew. The result is a beautiful pale-golden, slightly-hazy beer, malt-forward, medium-bodied, mildly-herbal, slightly spicy and uniquely refreshing. A helles of a crowd-pleaser for sure!

Ida-Hop 4.0

This is the fourth in our ‘Ida-Hop’ series of IPAs made primarily with Idaho-grown hops. This time around Quay has produced a very nicely-balanced India Pale Ale made mostly with "Idaho Gem Hops" as well as smaller amounts of Amarillo and El Dorado hops. These new hop varietals are known for citrus and tropical flavors, along with some added candy-like sweetness. Those qualities are then balanced-out with the addition of Magnum hops for the bittering. The result is a complex yet extremely drinkable Idaho IPA, offering a crisp and refreshing taste with notes of fresh citrus, and a clean, satisfying finish. An Idaho IPA brewed to kind of take on all of the hazy IPAs that are so prevalent today.

Gilga-Sesh

Ancient Sumeria is credited as the birthplace of beer. The beverage was celebrated in one of the oldest texts ever discovered, the Epic of Gilgamesh. Written about King Gilgamesh, who reigned in Sumeria around 2,700BCE, the ancients were portrayed to drink water in daily life and even while undertaking heroic tasks. However, beer was consumed for pure enjoyment. Gilga-Sesh Session IPA lives up to Sumerian expectations! A clear and crisp session ale with plenty of hop aromas, Gilga-Sesh won't hit you with the bitterness that is often associated with the acronym "IPA". Chinook, Cascade and Cashmere hops set the stage for significant dry-hopping with Cascade and Idaho 7. The resulting brew's bouquet of citrus and tropical fruits is complemented by a very pleasing flavor profile accentuated by balanced effervescence and a quick finish. What was valid over 4,700 years ago still applies today; this highly sessionable beer is sure to bring enjoyment time and time again.

Stanley’s Downtown Brown

The first of many with brewmaster Rob Harrelson this English-style brown features a chocolate, almost Tootsie Roll aroma on the first breath. This full-bodied brown offers a slight sweetness that transforms into a light roast flavor with an extremely clean finish. The name represents the visionary Stanley Milner and his efforts to help bring the Magic Valley to what is known as today. Without his efforts, life in Southern Idaho wouldn’t be quite what it is today. In a similar manner, this beer represents a new chapter for us here at Milner’s Gate AND for brewing in the Magic Valley. Cheers!

Classic English-style amber ale. ESB stands for ‘extra special bitter’, but when made right, the style is actually not bitter at all. Evil Duck pours a beautiful light copper color, is rich in flavor with notes of fresh biscuit and caramel. Similar to an American-style amber ale. The name is in reference to a swan – a rare bird to find in this area much like an ESB. But unlike an ESB you shouldn’t get too close to the “evil duck”.

Hoppy Place IPA

Hops, glorious hops! Hoppy Place 2.0 IPA was designed to unlock the nuances of the tri-fecta of Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe hops. Sure, we created a thoughtful grain bill that supports this beer, but continuous hopping introduced nearly a pound of the trinity every 10 minutes throughout the boil, with several pounds left over for the whirlpool. Coupled with mash hopping, this process has the full spectrum of flavor and aroma covered! With all of that in play, the only prudent thing to do would be to excessively dry hop. This citrus flavor bomb makes this beer wonderful on its own and it also pairs well with bold food selections. Let this beer take you to your Hoppy Place.

This witbier, reminiscent of another lunar favorite, combines Idaho Two-Row Malted Barley, malted white wheat, and flaked oats to build a solid landing pad. Hallertau and Liberty hops contribute a weightless bitterness adding just enough ballast to compliment the atmosphere Coriander and sweet Valencia orange peel provide. Cleanly fermenting US-05 yeast provides the thrust necessary to complete the beer without lending unnecessary esters and flavors. Make it your mission to enjoy this easy-drinking beer.

This cleaner malt bill was hopped with Columbus for bittering and the trio of Cascade, Centennial and Amarillo for both flavor and aroma. Dry hopping was done using the same trinity of hops used for flavor and aroma.

Banjo Shredder IPA

This version of Banjo Shredder is the evolution of one of the very first beers we ever tasted from our first brewmaster Quay Marshall. It’s a recipe he developed and perfected with his home-brewing system, and he shared it with us during the construction phase of Milner’s Gate, way before we were even open. We loved it then and we love it even more now! Quay described this brew as “hazy, juicy west-coast style IPA meets New England IPA”. The result is one of our very best IPAs yet. This version uses a malt bill designed to provide mouthfeel and crowns it with Strata, Centennial and Chinook hops. Dry hopping with Strata, Nugget and Chinook takes the aromas and flavor over the top. The result is a beer that starts as sweet fruit, transitions to citrus and ends with a pleasant hop bite. When the name “Banjo Shredder” was created, Quay told us that as he was developing this great brew, he and some beer-loving friends were listening to lots of kick-ass bluegrass music where the musicians were tearing it up on banjo. The beer captures the creativity and passion shared by brewers and musicians alike. Cheers!

This Amber Ale was created from locally sourced two-row barley and provides the foundation to which specialty grains add a malty character, a touch of caramel flavor and lend a striking copper color.

This version features subtle dry hops to accentuate and round out the delicate and sweet nature of the hops used. Don't be intimidated by the IBU count, perceived bitterness is tempered by the malt combination and as a result, this beer is very versatile and will pair nicely with a wide range of Milner's Gate menu selections, or is an easy drinking beer all on its own.
