• High & Mighty brews are made with righteous conviction.

    We're not just brewers - we're beer-evangelists. We're the Clergy of Zymurgy, the Priests of Yeasts, the Joyful Congregation of High Fermentation.

     

    Every High and Mighty offering will be a powerful wallop for the spirit. Drink one and you're going to say "Smite me again, barkeep!"

  • Beer of the Gods

    Light and refreshing, our cheeky flagship German-style beer is low in alcohol and easy to drink, but has enough hop bitterness to please even Zeus himself. Sure, we know those well-endowed beers will get all the press, but, just once, how about some props for the little guy?

  • Purity of Essence

    Very possibly the world's only India Pale Lager, Purity of Essence is a hoppy beer designed for people who think they don't like hops. Made with 100% German malts and hops, it has plenty of hop bitterness, and all the flavor you need, but none of the harshness you find in many IPA's.

  • St. Hubbins Dubbel

    A heavenly brown ale, St. Hubbins is lovingly brewed in the monastic tradition, by heathens. Luxuriate in its layers of chocolate, vanilla, licorice, and just the right amount of warming alcohol. Fermented with Trappist Ale yeast, and unfiltered and unpasteurized for maximum flavor.

  • Two-Headed Beast

    Our luscious, creamy stout is brewed with loads of organic raw cacao beans and fermented with Belgian Ale yeast. Like velvety, deep, dark chocolate in your glass. Leave those sugary sweet chocolate drinks for the hoi polloi – the Beast is for aesthetes and sophisticates only.

  • Home for the Holidays

    A warming, unfiltered brown ale, made with loads of roasted malts, fermented with a Trappist Ale yeast, and very subtly oak-aged. Malt notes of chocolate and raisin are balanced by a delicate hint of vanilla from the oak.

    Home for the Holidays is perfect for evenings with that special someone in front of the fire, or to celebrate the return of a family member who's been away . . .

    • 1 September 2010

      Many of you have asked, and some said it couldn't be done, but we've decided to resurrect our American Pale Ale, which we call XPA. It's in the tank now and should start showing up in the market in the next few weeks. This one will be in twelve ounce bottles, in six-packs, which we hope to get out at $8.99, at least here in Massachusetts. We're also switching over to six-packs for Beer of the Gods in Massachusetts . . . both are bottling next week. Yay.

      High & Mighty Beer is thrilled to announce its support of two local bicycling organizations. This season we'll be sponsoring both the Newbury Comics cyclo-cross team and the Northampton Cycling Club. At High & Mighty we're nearly as fanatical about our bikes as we are about beer. Come join us in supporting community riders and racers!

About Us

High & Mighty Beer Company began in 2006 as an offshoot of Shelton Brothers beer importing company. Will Shelton took his idea for a novel German-style ale to Paper City Brewery in Holyoke, Massachusetts, and Beer of the Gods was born, to extraordinary commercial success, critical acclaim, and unabashed adoration from beer geeks the world over.

Eventually, Will discovered that he enjoyed selling the beer he made even more than he did the splendid beers that Shelton Brothers imports, and in June 2008, he abandoned his brother to focus on making American beer that added an American attitude to the best of European beer styles. The beer is still lovingly made at Paper City, but look for High & Mighty to open a brewery of its own in 2010.
