This Czech-style pilsner is craft beer made simple. Here in Spokane County, the Ponderosa Pine is king. Many Ponderosas stand tall as property or fence line markers in this high desert transition zone. This clean, traditional Czech Pilsner is made almost exclusively of pilsner malt and saaz hops, then lagered for a couple of weeks to ensure a fresh, easy-drinking brew that will stand tall and resilient for years to come.

Farm fresh local honey lingers on your tongue in this refreshing, well balanced lager. Our honey lager is a clean, crisp brew which sparkles and effervesces so as to belie the fact that this too is a naturally unfiltered Big Barn brew. Washington 2-row barley blends nicely with cascade hops to make this a unique and exceptional lager. A 2018 silver medal winner at the Washington State craft beer awards, this is certainly a Big Barn favorite!

Bailar con maize – dance with corn. Brewing this new recipe marked the first time in years that we tore into a bag of corn in our grain shed. We thank our neighbors to the south for their longstanding tradition of making easy-drinking, refreshing lagers with subtly sweet notes of corn and a smooth, clean finish. Slice in lime, salt the rim if you are so bold, and give thanks for good neighbors – no matter how near or far you may live from the border..

City folks have their lawnmower beers. This is Big Barn’s tractor beer.  This malt forward blonde ale refreshingly satisfies the thirsty pallet. Beer lovers who desire a break from hop and malt-heavy beers yet still crave something with character need look no further than this startlingly satisfying brew.

A few years back a beautiful red rooster literally crossed the road onto our farm, and he inspired a new Big Barn classic – Rusty Red Ale. Not your typical red, this red is not overly malty, but rather finishes dry, with a subtle black coffee bite.

As a farm brewery, we try to incorporate our home-grown fruits, herbs, and vegetables into our microbrews as much as possible. This special-release IPA is an intentional departure from that trend. This beer is a tribute to the family farmers of the tropics, the “Campesinos”, or country people that work the land in the global south. Fresh bursts of mango, banana, lemon, pineapple, and orange all harmonize with citrusy and floral Northwest hops in this refreshing session IPA.

New Brew Spring 2024. This imperial IPA boasts both big flavor, satisfying body and mouth feel as well as the
Warming touch of a big IPA.

Dirt Road Rye is a nicely balanced Rye IPA with our classic rural roots making it an exceptional addition to your taps. The Rye gives a mellow spiciness to the traditional IPA hop character expected here in the northwest, and at 56 IBU this refreshing IPA drinks like a pale ale.

Dunn Day is our classic American IPA which utilizes all of our own farm-fresh hops. Dunn-Day is single-hopped with Centennial hops, a Northwest favorite. The beer finishes smooth rather than having the lingering sting common of so many IPA’s.

Amarillo and Centennial hops harmonize in this imperial IPA to give a brew with a flavor as crisp as the fresh air on Green Bluff. Our FALLOW IPA is aggressively hopped in the boil giving the bitterness that many seasoned Northwesterners seek in their IPAs. And to round it all out an equally aggressive dry-hopping warms the palate with a spectacularly fresh floral hop character.

Imagine the sweet smell of an open applewood fire, see yourself sitting with close friends around that same campfire in the misty mountains of the northwest. Enjoy rich roasted malts that suggest chocolate, caramel, molasses, and coffee…now you are experiencing our Mountain Smoke Porter.

Pets, especially great dogs, are wonderful gifts in our lives. At our farm we have NANDI, a Black Lab and Chesapeake Bay mix. This dog just loves life, loves her owners and farm visitors, and has the most laid back nature of any pet we have ever had. Our BLACK DOG STOUT is meant to deliver that same gift to you. Tip back a glass and let the deep, rich chocolate, caramel, and hints of fine brewed coffee put a smile on your face. Thanks Nandi!

Every so often we brew a traditional German style beer, perhaps hearkening back to our family’s ancestral roots. True to style, our bock is a medium-bodied, malty, clean beer. Pale, Munich, and Vienna malts from Spokane’s local Linc Malt provide exceptional flavor, which is accentuated by a lager yeast. Enjoy the first Big Barn brew to bear the family name–DEITZ BOCK! .
