Dim Tillard’s Series of Beers
Tim Dillard, a longtime Brewers minor leaguer turned baseball personality known for his humor and endless clichés, has inspired a trio of Broken Bat beers carrying his name. The Dim Tillard series — Very Pale Ale, Bearded Stirrup DIPA, and Captain Cliché IPA — celebrates his larger-than-life charm with big, bold, personality-driven brews.

Dim Tillard’s Bearded Stirrup DIPA
Created to honor friend of the brewery and professional baseball player Tim Dillard, this hazy juice bomb is a masterpiece.
ABV – 10.1%
Dim Tillard’s Captain Cliche IPA
Dim Tillard’s Captain Cliché IPA from Broken Bat Brewing brings all the tongue-in-cheek charm you’d expect from former big-league funnyman Tim Dillard, now a full-time master of baseball clichés. This hazy IPA swings for the fences with daiquiri-like aromas up front and a lineup of bright citrus and juicy fruit flavors batting cleanup. Built with the playful swagger of a crafty veteran, it clocks in at a fitting 6.8 percent — a launch angle Dillard would absolutely approve of. Captain Cliché is bold, breezy, and packed with personality, reminding you to take things one sip at a time… because it ain’t over til it’s over.
ABV – 6.8%
Dim Tillard Very Pale Ale
Made by Broken Bat Brewing, Dim Tillard Very Pale Ale is a baseball beer named after Tim Dillard, a mostly career minor leaguer drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in 2001. Dillard has had a small taste of The Show, and his namesake brew is quite potent, slightly hazy, and juicy with a bitter bite.
ABV – 9.1%
