Our Beers
Our beer menu changes frequently but here is a sample of some of our consistent brews.
----------
California Common
Brewed with Lager yeast fermented at Ale temperatures this American classic has a toasty/caramel malt background with a woody/minty hop profile.
Ordinary Bitter
British session beer with a toasted bread like flavors from the British malts and hopped with traditional English hops to give it a floral and earthy hop aroma.
Extra Special Bitter
More than just a stronger version of the Bitter, the ESB has a more balanced malt:hop ratio, a full bodied sweetness, and a good amount of fruity aromas and flavors from the selection of yeast.
Pilsener
This classic style is highlighted by a crisp, clean and bready malt character with moderate hop bitterness and aroma from the use of the "noble" Czech Saaz hop. The easy drink-ability of this beer lends itself to multiple pints and shenanigans.
Festbier
A rich, bready malt aroma and flavor balanced out with a clean, crisp, German Noble hop bitterness. Our first true lager, this beer is a clean and easy drinking old world style.
American Pale Ale
A take on the classic English Pale Ales using American malts and hops that produces a citrusy, piney, and fruitier version with more emphasis on hop flavor over malt.
American IPA
A hop loaded and easily crushable American IPA that is characterized by citrus and tropical fruits with a dry and refreshingly clean finish.
Double IPA
Hops, Hops, and more Hops. The name of the game here is the liberal use of hops for an intense flavor that is matched well by the dry mouth-feel which keeps you wanting another sip.
New England IPA
Hops are front and center again in this style, the difference being when, and how they are added. Instead of the bitter and dry West Coast IPA this version is characterized by a soft mouth-feel and intensely flavorful hop aroma and flavor.
Irish Stout
Dry-roasted flavors which are often referred to as "coffee-like" are balanced out with British hops and dispensed by nitrogen. One of our first recipes, it keeps us coming back for more.
Sweet Stout
Black in color like our Irish Stout this beer has an addition of lactose, which along with being served on nitrogen provides more body and overall sweetness to the finished product. Chocolate and caramel dominate the flavor profile with a very subtle hint of bitterness from the British hops and roasted malts.
Imperial Stout
This stout is brewed with an extremely large amount of the highest quality malt we could fit into our brew kettle, and then aged for an extended period of time. Expect notes of bittersweet chocolate, coffee and a warming alcohol presence.
Porter
While it might look like a Stout in the glass there are vast differences in flavor and mouth-feel. This Porter is all chocolate and caramel in flavor which is balanced well by the English hopping.
Scotch Wee Heavy
The sweet caramel flavor and malty aroma of this beer showcase the use of high quality British and Scottish malts which serve as a foundation for a strong, smooth, and dangerously easy drinking seasonal ale.
