HOUSE BEERS
LAGERS
Skald - Light Lager (4%)
German malt and a single decoction with American grown Saaz Hops, fermented under pressure with our Czech Lager yeast to create natural carbonation. The hills are alive with the various flashes of color from newly sprouted spring flowers, the sight as satisfying as the "pop" from a just-peeled tube of biscuits with a single lemon drop candy dancing from cheek to cheek and tooth to tooth. It may have been from a forgettable distraction, but the freshly cut broad leafed herbs which were intended to be dispersed over creamy polenta found their way atop an undisturbed bowl of flaky wheated cereal endorsed by famous athletic professionals
.25L $3.25 / Tankard $6.50/6pk $12
Tutto Pils - Italian Pilsner (5%)
A single decoction of al Pilsner malt to highlight the sweet grain flavors and dry hopped with German Saphir, an incredibly floral lager. Unseen honeysuckle hidden behind Cypress trees, tropical fruit skins near a machine churning gelato sweetened with apples from a far away land
.25L $3.25 / Tankard $6.50
Schlussstein - Rye Lager (5.75%)
Brewed with the winners of Keystone Hops Homebrew Club's War of the Worts, together we concocted this beautiful Rye Lager. The rye malt was decocted into a sticky mess, bringing out an ethereal spice and earthy character, all highlighted by Saphir and Saaz hops. Fermented under pressure to naturally create carbonation. We're thrilled with how this is pouring! Congrats Chaya, Bruce and Brian!
.25L $3.25 / Tankard $6.50
Baas - Hammer Lager
Brewed for those in this rocky commonwealth that labor hard and need a beer after work that feeds the soul, mug after mug. A familiar but unknown presence speaks indecipherable Spanish to a young person, three hundred years of baling hay, shaded limestone 5% thrones for chocolate sorbetto breaktime
.25L $3.25 / Tankard $6.50
Stump - Schwarzbier (5%)
A healthy dose of Munich malts brings out the bread flavors and enough darker malts give it that perfect red/black color we all love. Tiny carcasses of pressed grapes liter the tiled celar floor, burlap bags as tapestries, a sheep skin leather coat while you pick actually ripe starfruit
.25L $3.25 / Tankard $6.50
Reckoner - Smoked Pale Lager (6%)
Brewed with local pilsner malt and elevated with a subtle dose of the finest German smoked malts, hopped in the coolship exclusively with Hersbrucker. Notes of being enveloped by luxurious fernery in a Moroccan tea room while steamy porcelain cups of Genmaicha wisp by, brushing warm marmalade glaze atop a fully proofed couronne, and cashed road trip apple pipes.
.25L $3.25 / Tankard $6.50
Golden Pretzel - Leichtbier (3.7%)
To commemorate the life and legacy of Rich Colli who started the Golden Pretzel Awards the last time The CBC came to Philly, we brewed this Leichtbier with our good friends at 2SP Brewing. Made with all German Pilsner malt, a touch of Atlantic sea salt, and some soft pretzels in the mash because that's how Rich would want it.
.25L $3.25 / Tankard $6.50
The Peak - House Pilsner (5.57%)
100% Pilsner malt, 100%Michigan grown Saaz hops, and a single docoction, poured from the Lukr side-pull faucet.

West Coast Pils - Dry Hopped Pilsner (5.2%)
A truly Cascadian hop profile with Chinook and Centiennial that melds perfectly with a crisp and clean Pilsner.
.25L $3.25 / Tankard $6.50
ALES
Viceroy - Dry Pub Stout (4%)
We love blending Pilsner and Maris Otter malts for the backbone of a little stout: the former to keep it bright and dry with the latter adding thos richer bread like flavors and aromas. While mixing a fresh pot of Turkish coffee inside an old barn with dirt floors a small fire is char-grilling a few orange slices. Will they be used to garnish a red velvet cake or to be enjoyed next to pretzels dipped in dark mole Poblano or maybe just drizzled with pomegranate molasses?
.25L $3.50/Tankard $7.00
Baby Barleywine - ESB (4%)
Envisioned and executed withour dear friends from Brass Collar Brewing this Baby Barleywine (aka ESB) was brewed with local malt from Double Eagle and hopped with the elusive Barmling Cross. The wafting aroma of a mild Indian curry climbed all the way to the top of a very, very tall deciduous tree while an ecstatic Puli is bounding into the puddles of a just past rain shower. Atop a weathered and deeply worn hose saddle stands a solitary olive studded crusty load of sourdough surrounded by dried dates stuffed with orange peels
.25L $3.50/Tankard $7.00
Regular Absent Void - Imperial Stout (11%)
As you descend the stairs still-burning embers remind you of last night's glories, overflowing with whiskey and apple brandy barreled dreams (message!). It's bread and dessert season so let's get all fat and sassy.
$9 Goblet
Iconique - Classic Saison (4%)
It's been a very long time since we've had a classic and clean Saison on draft. For all ya'll that still believe, this is for you. Brewed with a blend of cereal malts and hopped with the finest fresh Saphir and our house aged hops. Casually twisting a fresh coating of ground white pepper on the rim of a glass before filling with lemonade the bartender's eyes wander over the rolling hills of Wallonia via the window, spring Geraniums dot the landscape. Dangling from the rafters as reminders of summers past, cucumber skins now curl over the nails that support them while an offering of lemon balm and spoonful of passionfruit lie in wait at the foot of the altar
.25L $4.25 / .4L $7.50
Crush Rush - Spring Wheat Ale (4.5%)
Lots of wheat went into this one making it radiate and a small touch of Cascade hops brightens that broadcast. Sitting on the dewy young grass during sunrise, clementine sea monsters, snapping twigs for kindling so you can keep that special someone warm.
.25L $3.25 / .5L $6.50
Rotating Barrel Aged Absent Void - Imperial Stout (12%)
We tucked some of our Absent Void into a Laird's Brandy barrel to rest for many months.
Goblet $9
Who Is Josh? - English Pale Bitter (4.7%)
We brewed this Pale English style Bitter with our good friend and six-time Jeopardy Champion Josh Weikert. His knowledge of all things is humbling, and since beers is one of his passions this recipe was really fun to develop. A portion of the proceeds from the beer support the Weikel Memorial Scholarship Fund
.25L $3.25 / .5L $6.50
Cu Faoil (koo-fweel) - Nitro Stout (4%)
Brewed with pale malt and a touch of darker grains, this beer pours more red than black as it should. No snakes. No problem. Now we go the hounds so we can consume a plenty. Thank the stars
.25L $3.25 / .5L $6.50
Reverse Grass - Dry Hopped Saison (4,7%)
A true joy to make, we are in love with Saison and we hope you are too. Or West Coast Pale Ale, Concurrent Pathways, is dry hopped with a half bag each of Cascade, Centennial and Chinook, so after adding hops to that tank we decided to dump the remaining half into this beauty. A fun beer to make and drink. Lots of fruit, cosmic bubblegum, and a huge citrusy and piney finish
.25L $4.25 / .4L $7.50
Nailed Down .07 - IPA (6.5%)
Our rotating IPA series inspired by the date nails sealed into our bar top. Each version is an opportunity to try a new hop combination, a different experience for you every time. This ones features Citra, Mosaic, and Motueka Hops.

Coming Soon - IPA (4.75%)
Just a hint of embelishes the fruity notes of the Pilsner malt, our house British yeast strain really gives some beautiful doughy flavors, and we then dry hopped this beauty with Elani and Centennial hops. Kind of that old school hop flavor, a little more pine and citrus with hints of stone fruit

MIXED FERMENTATION
HOUSE BOTTLES
Slender Spindle '25 - Tart Saison w/ Peaches (6%)
Brewed with a hint of wheat and loaded with our house aged hops to aid in long aging, this saison was originally fermented clean in stainless steel for just a few days and was then blended with many many crates of peaches from Frecon Farms. We let this year's age quite a bit longer than previous years and we're thrilled at how much fruit still comes through but with a more nuanced and balanced palate
$10 (375ml Bottle)
Io, Saturnalia Reserve '23 - Aged Sour Holiday Saison (9.5%)
Made in a very similar fashion to last year with a mix of malts and European hops but with a more restrained mixed culture fermentation. This year's shows delicate tartness and balance with hints of cherries and dried plums, some funky chocolate, and holiday breads that are spiced just right
$18 (750ml Bottle)
Voces Chorum Rose 2022 - (6%)
Aged on Cabernet Sauvignon and Barbera Grapes from Vox Vineti's rose', Discantus. After harvest the grapes were in contact with the wine for two days before pressing, then we brought the spent pomace to the brewery, was put in a stainless steel tank a top a deconstructed wine barrel and a young saison was introduced and rested for a few weeks before packaging. This hot pink beauty tastes great as we approach harvest.
$18 (750ml Bottle)
Ake - Smoked Grisette w/ Sour Cherries (6%)
Orginally brewed as a smoked Grisette, a saison style from Belgium made with wheat and fermented in stainless steel, we later introduced 300lbs of Montmorency Cherries from the amazing folks at Three Springs Farm. Big notes of aforementioned fruit with a mineraly smokiness, beautiful acidity that rides a big red wave, and a mouthwatering dryness that reminds us of being blissed out mid summer
$18 (750ml Bottle)
Saltarello - Barrel Aged Saison with Nebbiolo Grapes (6%)
Vox Vineti is one of Pennsylvania’s finest producers of thought provoking wines. Nebbiolo, the noble grape of Piedmont that’s responsible for Barolo and Barbaresco, has found a new home in the Vox vineyard. After the Vox team has vinified their Nebbiolo wine we help them press the pomace then bring it back to the brewery and marry a young saison with the pressed fruit for a two month masceration. The resulting liquid was then laid to rest for 16 months in barrels formerly used by Vox. Once deemed ready bottles and kegs were filled, naturally conditioned and matured on the lees for 14 months. A slow process, but patience has its rewards. Also on draft, but we recommend trying both as they are the same but somehow so very different!
