Select any four (4) of our in-house beers. Limited to beers under 8% ABV Prices subject to change depending on availability or styles
Summer Saison (Saison)-5.6%
Light and refreshing and perfect for summer. Displays a subtle pepper note accompanied by flavors of lemon and honey. The small dry-hop addition of Saphir hops adds some herbal and citrus character.
Dunkel (Munich Dunkel-Lager)-5.1%
Dark Bavarian style provided by the rich, toasted Munich malts with subtle chocolate and caramel notes
Broken Hurley (Red Ale)-5.2%
Balanced and flavorful. This traditional Irish Red Ale has an array of malt flavors such as caramel, toffee, biscuit and a dry roasted finish
Pilsner (German Pils)-5.2%
Traditional German-style Pilsner. Brewed using an old-world triple decoction method to give it a wonderfully bready malt character. Czech Saaz and Saphir hops provide a bright snappy finish
Addy Lite (Blonde Ale)- 4.8%, Lager-5.3%
Clean and crisp and easy-drinking blonde ale. Cracker ad bready malt flavors give way to a fruity finish. A deep golden lager featuring mild notes of toasted bread crust and a balanced, noble hop aroma from Czech Saaz hops
Hefeweizen (German Wheat)-4.8%
A full-bodied Bavarian wheat beer. Wheat malt contributes flavors of fresh dough supported by the classic bouquet of clove and banana as expected from Hefeweizen yeast.
Burley Bovine (Sweet Milk Stout)-6.4%
Milk sugar added on brew day provides luxurious sweetness and body to this beer, complementing its roasty, chocolate notes.
Helles Bock (Maibock/Helles Bock)-7.6%
Malt, malt and more malt. Much like a Munich Helles, but brewed to Bock strength. This strong lager is toasty with a mild grainy-sweetness.
Dad's Enkel (Patersbier)-4.7%
A Belgian style, lighter in color and alcohol than most common Belgian Styles. Classic Belgian aromas of clove upfront with an earthy, dry finish.
Cauldron Born (Stout-Imperial/Double Oatmeal) -9%
Rich, malty, and dark. This Imperial Oatmeal Sout has dominant flavors of dark chocolate, coffee and roasty oats. A perfect beer to warm you up
Cinder & Ash (Rauchbier/Smoked)-5.1%
Brewed with a hefty dose of Beechwood smoked malt. Smokey yet balanced, this Rauchbier has a sweet BBQ-like smoke and toasted malt flavor.
Almost Mike's (Rye Pale Ale)-5.8%
A hefty dose of flaked rye gives this pale ale a distinct spicy dry body. Amarillo and Exp. 07270 lend tangerine, grapefruit, and pine flavors. This beer blurs the lines between Pale Ale and IPA.
Fookin Stout (Irish Dry Stout)-4.1%
Bold roasted flavors reminiscent of coffee and intense dark chocolate are front and center in this classic Irish Stout
MacGyver Maneuver (Strawberry/ Black Current-Gose)-4.8%
This beer is a blend of an intensely sour ale fermented with strawberries and black currants and a non-sour wheat ale brewed with Pink Himalayan sea salt. It has a sweet-tart like an acidity, a mild briny note, and some fruit character from the strawberries and black currants.
MacGyver Maneuver (Peach/Apricot-Gose)-4.8%
This beer is a blend of an intensely sour ale fermented with peaches and apricot and a non-sour wheat ale brewed with Pink Himalayan sea salt. It has a sweet-tart like an acidity, a mild briny note, and some fruit character from the peach and apricot.
