The Beers


The Beers


Now on Tap: Pale Wheat Ale

Our Pale Wheat Ale was brewed in a similar style to our New England IPA. Double dry hopped with Rakau and Belma hops, this one's a crusher. Hazy, soft mouthfeel, low bitterness, big hop aroma and flavor.

 

New england ipa

Our hazy New England style IPA is double dry hopped with equal parts Amarillo and Idaho 7 hops. Low in bitterness and full of fruity, juicy aroma and flavor, this beer is easy to love.

Honey Ginger

The medium to high carbonation level in this deep gold-colored ale enhances the fresh ginger in the aroma. The malt backbone supports the sweetness of the locally sourced honey and the spiciness of the ginger.

IPA #14

Our IPA is a medium copper-colored ale. We use a standard malt-backboned recipe with citra hops to emphasize citrusy, tropical notes of grapefruit, melon, and passion fruit. The beer is medium-bodied, and although the aroma always dominates the overall character of the beer, the sweetness of the caramel malt balances the hoppy bitterness. An American IPA that privileges hop flavor and aroma over bitterness.

Saison

Our saison is a pale gold-colored, medium-bodied farmhouse-style ale. It is effervescent and dry, with an edge of bitterness that balances the fruitiness of the aroma.
