Challenging folk-derived electronic duo, High Places, tie artificial percussion sounds and syncopated disco beats to scintillatingly climactic acoustical dreamscapes with the same glistening pastoral splendor that kept Kate Bush “Running Up That Hill.” Learning the bassoon at an early age before joining a few local musical troupes, heavenly vocalist Mary Pearson once believed her high vocal register conflicted with the prototypical rock compositions her former band mates constructed. But she simply managed to adapt.

A Kalamazoo native, Pearson originally met…

On tap, crossbred Belgian tripel/ West Coast IPA retains funky farmhouse ale fungi earthiness countering ripened tropical fruiting and creamy caramel malting. Peppery bark-dried lemon-dropped Chinook hop bittering reinforces tangy peach-cherry-nectarine protrusion and teasing floral accents. Pastry-like vanilla wafer sweetness heightens busy backdrop.

On tap, 9.5% alcohol-ridden hophead delight benefits from imperious woody hop dryness countering succinct sweet-spiced floral-citric sensation and chewy bubblegum tease. Sticky rye malts saturate juniper-licked orange-peeled grapefruit rind bittering to acidic alcohol burnt aftertaste.

On tap, inefficient Foudres wine-barreled oak-aged ‘bitter’ goes down too light for hop-obsessed IPA style. Raw-honeyed lemongrass frontage picks up rotten lemon souring, sticky anise careen, and astringent alcohol burn. Faded herbal nuance dissolves. A bit unbalanced, perhaps.

On tap, resinous pine-needled dry-hopped bitterness seeps into soft-tongued yellow-fruited tartness of coppery burnished medium-bodied India-styled pale ale. Lemon-candied orange-dried souring proves resilient above earthen mineral graining. Tangerine, grapefruit, and orange notes flutter by.

On tap, elegant soft-watered Imperial IPA with soothing butterscotch-vanilla creaminess impacting orange-bruised peach-pineapple-mango tropicalia picks up lemon custard, creamed corn, and unspecific herbal illusions. Sweet anise tingle finds space inside somewhat unconventional stylist.

On tap, grapefruit-peeled orange rind tartness and advertised apricot-peach-mango affirmation counter piney Cascade hop dryness, astringent wood-dried musk and finishing alcohol burn. Bright citric nose tingles. Tangy lemon-aided red apple, papaya, and tangerine fruiting supplements creamy honeyed malts.

Pour slowly extremely carbolic Band-Aid-wafted gueuze (with wild yeast funk) to avoid bubbly champagne overflow. Sour ale freaks will delight over musty oaken cherry bluster, vinous grape acidity, and green apple tartness. Peppery hop-fizzed lemon-dried bittering underscores vinegary brettanomyces grouting, chalky brimstone acridity, and nestled apple cider sharpness.

Interesting wood-soaked grassy-hopped smoked beer closer to mainstream than other Dochter offerings. Bittersweet citric grape spicing accentuates smoked jalapeno peppering, grist-grained barnyard funk, and wafting Band-Aid remnant. Ginger, sage, and herbal tea fill out backend.

Dry golden-hazed blonde ale could pass for light-bodied Farmhouse ale. Eye-squinting citric-soured longevity and dark floral bouquet impede mossy herbal whim. Mild resinous hop-spiced bittering secures lemon-seeded apricot-peach-apple souring to lemongrass finish.

Busy limited edition prune-hued winter ale connects bourbon-port wining to chocolate-covered raisin affluence and sweet cinnamon-allspice-nutmeg seasoning. Punctual hazelnut, walnut, and macadamia incisiveness reinforces chewy butterscotch midst and recessive chocolate éclair finish. Mild almondine, plum wine and purple grape illusions ease into the mix.

Zesty lemon briskness punctuates aromatic lemon-peeled bittering, dainty white wine zip, and Shiraz red wine souring of champagne-bubbled Belgian-styled Farmhouse ale. Funky cellar-bound yeast sinew fortifies peach-orange-apple fruiting and spicy coriander-clove sweetness. White-peppered chamomile, lemongrass, ginger, and spearmint herbage fill out tannic grape backdrop. On tap at Copper Mine, lemon-rotted yellow fruiting endures above abrupt basil, thyme, peppercorn and eucalyptus herbage.
