What We're Pouring

A rotating handful of easy-drinking ales and hop-forward favorites.

Plump Wheel Amber #106

A simple combination of base malt, Crystal 75L, and Victory malts makes a very easy-drinking, balanced amber ale that almost any beer enthusiast can enjoy. Our clone of New Belgium's Fat Tire.

4.9% ABVAmber Ale

Soulless Hop Pale Ale #107

Malty with a huge Citra® presence — our take on the legendary Zombie Dust by 3 Floyds. Munich, Crystal 60L, and Carapils build a smooth backbone, then a half-pound of Citra® per batch does the rest.

5.1% ABVPale Ale

Hop Blonde Ale #105

A blonde you won't forget. A fairly standard blonde base, but the Simcoe personality makes it unique — well balanced, with a dry-hop addition that keeps it just complex enough while staying easy to enjoy.

4.9% ABVBlonde Ale

Hop Dam Hazy IPA #104

One of the most heavily hopped beers in Dutchman history — a juicy New England IPA bursting with orange, tangerine, and grapefruit. Wheat and oats add a soft, pillowy texture while three hop additions keep bitterness low.

6.8% ABV29.8 IBUHazy IPA

Our Story

From a garage dream to the taps

The Lounging Dutchman started in February 2009 in a Grand Rapids garage — with little more than a dream and a Yellow Dog Pale Ale extract kit.

More than a hundred recipes later, that same spirit hasn't changed: we brew the kind of beer we want to drink, share it with friends, and never take ourselves too seriously. Kick back, grab a glass, and stay a while.
