Collaborations
Western Collective
A Western Collab
Our friends from Western Collective in Idaho invited us out to take part in their Best of the West collab series, and we brewed up a big, aromatic double IPA. We brought some Eclipse hops from Australia and added them to a blend of Citra and Nelson Sauvin creating massive flavors of grapefruit, passionfruit and dank.

NOSTROVIA!
Toppling Goliath are the assassins of the barrel-aged stout game, so it seemed fitting for them to join our brewing ninjas and create this powerful Russian Imperial Stout. The massive base beer was racked into bourbon barrels for one year, and then toasted cacao nibs and vanilla were added. The end result is a real Cold War-mer, darker than the Deep State but delightfully delicious.

Son of Apocalypse
An Arc’teryx collaboration.
It is no secret that Arc’teryx is an international pioneer in the technical outerwear industry. The company stands behind their commitment to quality and innovation across all gear and clothing that they introduce to the world’s most passionate outdoor aficionados. In 2015, Arc’teryx conceptualized a new idea, an outdoor experience produced in Jackson Hole, WY, and coined it The Arc’teryx Backcountry Academy.
This brought them to our original taproom Thai Me Up in the heart of Jackson, and after a beer-fueled brainstorming session it was obvious–Arc’teryx and Melvin Brewing were destined for a partnership, sharing our mutual love for the Tetons and our dedication to bringing our fans quality goods and memorable experiences.
Three years later, Son of Apocalypse was born, the perfect beer to celebrate shared experiences in the Tetons and beyond. Son of Apocalypse is a crisp and smooth IPA at 5% ABV and 70IBUs—a delightful addition to your anticipated après or your reward after going full send.

Melvin, That’s Dank!
DON’T HATE, CELEBRATE.
It’s true, Melvin loves the Dank. Our founders met one fateful day two years ago and a friendship was immediately born. Two years later, Melvin hosted Dankhouse in Wyoming to brew a beer exclusively for the fine folks of Ohio. True to the Melvin roots, we brewed a West Coast Style IPA, then added some hop juice via Mosaic, Ekuanot and Southern Star. Drink up and Happy 2nd Anniversary Dankhouse.
ANNIVERSARY BEERS!

ANOTHER GREAT COLLABORATION
The powers that be are hoarding the South African hops, but we have our ways. We joined forces with the Artifex crew and dry hopped this modern West Coast DIPA with two experimental varieties from the Rainbow Nation, imparting bold flavors of mango, papaya and lychee.

Stay Tuned Melvin Pale Ale
Melvin’s Stay Tuned Melvin Pale Ale pairs with the film like figure eights with its light, copper malt body as the foundation for stacks on stacks of resinous hop layers: tropical trail mix, light stone fruit, and whiffs of blond tobacco prevail. If your mouth’s not watering yet, check your pulse. The dry finish and moreish linger will have you daydreaming of hop pillows and powdery pillow lines—if you don’t lose your edge.

With impeccable timing (the season’s first dustings are up there, folks), Absinthe Films drops Stay Tuned, a film about “staying tuned on every level, physically, mentally, intuitively,” says Justin Hostynek, CEO and Director of Absinthe Films. “But at its heart, it’s just a movie about having fun–and keeping your board tuned. Plus, it’s got one of the heaviest lineups in Absinthe history.” Melvin Brewing is an official title sponsor of the Absinthe Film and the official sponsor of the Film Tour.
Melvin Brewing started on the west coast of Wyoming, deep in the Tetons where snowboarding and outdoor adventure runs deep. Since the inception of the company until now, Jeremy Tofte has believed in the magic of the mountains and the memories that are made on powder days. Nothing like packing a few of Melvin’s Stay Tuned pale ales to crack open at a secret hut tucked away in the trees or at the end of a sendy line.
It’s a fact: Melvin had big dreams from the beginning and without having the endless support of partners all around us, we wouldn’t be where we are today. Now it’s our turn to give back to the riders with big dreams and by supporting their relentless pursuit of what has never been done before. Stay Tuned…

ORIGIN WORKSHOP BR-808
A celebration of the greatest drum machine of all time.
This special collaboration beer honors the enduring sounds and cultural legacy of the TR-808 and the seismic shift it created in music. It’s a taste of the future, a brew defined by the legendary kick drum of the 808. Its been developed to recreate that deep sub-bass low end, delivering a solid Japanese kick that resonates through the American IPA flavours.
With tropical, citrus aromas, mikan orange peel and flavours from the generous rise of Citra and Amarillo hops the Origin Workshop BR-808 provides a refined taste. In the spirit of true collaboration, the brewers added no caramel malt with only light British pale malt and Cara pils, resulting in a refreshing brew.
7.0% ABV
This epic tribute drops on 08/08/18 for a limited time only. Learn more about BR-808.

Three Headed Hop Monster
Melvin took part in a superstar triple-header multi-year interstate brewing collaboration. We partnered with our pals at Barley Brown’s and Boneyard to create an Imperial IPA chock-full of hoppy aroma & bitterness that you’ve come to love from the three of us. In 2015 we brewed at Barley Brown’s. In 2017 we brewed at Boneyard, and in 2019 we’ll be brewing up a batch at Melvin’s Alpine brewery.
Space Ghost
Brewed in conjunction with Ecliptic Brewing. An unclassifiable phantasm, Space Ghost explodes with a panopoly of Citra, Mosaic, Galaxy,Southern Cross tropical hop flavors with a taste not unlike Melvin’s famous imperial IPAs. Complex yet infinitely drinkable, Space Ghost defies all explanations.
Stud Muffin
Brewed with Faction Brewing for San Francisco Beer Week 2017, Stud Muffin is an IPA with Citra Hop Hash and Mosaic Lupulin Powder.
Conflict of Interest
Conflict of Interest — A fun, beefed up Pilsner recipe that Melvin and DC Brau came together to create. An all German malt base produces a light to medium body with flavors of baked bread and crust that play beautifully with the clean German lager yeast that was fermented cool to preserve those lager characteristics that we all have come to love. Hallertau Tradition and Saphir hops dance together to create pleasant herbal and woody notes that yield to fresh ground tea leaf with faint hints of rose and a clean finish.
1997
1997 – The First Twenty is a Belgian-style Strong Ale that is dry hopped with Citra Hops. The beer is described as offering bold and complex fruity aromas, ranging from tropical fruit, citrus, dried cherry, rose, and prunes. Candied fruit and baked bread flavors that bring forth a deceptively smooth and drinkable beer.
Brewed in conjunction with Royale Brewing Company & The Commons Brewery.
