HOUSE BEERS


LAGERS

 

The Point - Helles Lager
Brewed in more traditional German methods with lower and longer temperature rests, a long and cool fermentation, and hopped with Saphir and Saaz. After driving to nowhere on a gravel road the chosen pull-off is lined with large marigold greens still yet to flower while the skins of sapodilla lie underneath their towering progenitors. In a nearby house a tin of irish oats is left open on the counter, microscopic dust from inside catching the occasional breeze, when hunger wins over and honey is drizzled over a warmed biscuit after a tray of peach danishes were just formed before baking
.25L $3.25 / Tankard $6.50/6pk $13

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

Bass - Hammer Lager (5%)
Brewed for those in this rocky commonwealth that labor hard and need a beer after work that feeds the soul, mug after mug. A touch of darker malts and an amazing German hop, Saphir. A familiar but unknown presence stands tall by a fire speaking Spanish telling a young person something indecipherable while it rains on the ridge line. Three hundred years later as bales of hay are lofted and a new fence post is driven on the first day of a heatwave break time is announced by striking a specific rock, ringing out the call to sit on the largest piece of limestone in the shade one can find and wait patiently for a friendly delivery of chocolate sorbetto
.25L $3.25 / Tankard $6.50


 

ALES

 

Tullamore Dewd - Dry Oat Stout (3.5%)
 One of our first and most beloved beers, dedicated to a dear friend and brother. Cancer Sucks. Steaming plum pudding with gooey chopped dates, the most familiar handsome face enjoying apple butter on over-toasted black bread, raising a glass together in and old seaside pub.
.25L $3.25 / Tankard $6.50

Spectral Skies - Dry Hopped Grisette (4.2%)
This one was fun to make for you. We used lots of wheat and spelt, hopped this beauty in the kettle with European lovelies and a touch of Mosaic, then dry hopped it with second use Citra, Nectaron, and Eukanot. While drinking gin martinis garnished with preserved lemons the bartender is preparing orange wedges covered in sal de gusano to be consumed pre-mezcal while they extol the glories of Georgian (the country) white wines aged in buried amphora. Through the window a group of children on the street are seen blowing small palmfuls of white pepper into oncoming wind trying hard not to react but one lets out a ferocious sneeze which startles another who flings his melting mango ice cream in the air which comes down like drippy white pain on his best friend's perfectly pink cotton candy
.25L $4 / .4L $7

Raconteur - ESB (6%)
This is the first beer we made using local grain from Double Eagle, a PA maltster in Huntingdon Valley.  Because the grain is inherently more fresh than the European malt we typically use the expressions of the soil, of the rocky terrain, of the strong summer sun are vibrant and pronounced. In wanting to highlight their grain we thought an ESB would be a fitting canvas, hopped with the old faithful East Kent Goldings. Sitting atop tall towers of hay bales drinking barrel aged Jamaican rum straight outta the bottle they began to have a Meyer lemon fight, single elimination style. The winner was crowned with dried sunflowers as a headdress and presented with fluffy whole wheat loaves and an abundance of roasted honey nut squash
.25L $3.50 / Tankard $7.00

Blended Barrel Absent Void - Imperial Stout
This very small batch is a blend of our Booker's Bourbon Barrel and our 7yr Laird's Apple Brandy Barrel Aged stouts. Such a delicate yet fierce expression. A walk through an ancient town terminates at a giant dark wall, smooth yet textured, warm yet somehow ice cold. You want to climb it, and as you declare that internal wish a staircase unfolds leading seemingly nowhere but at the same time everywhere. You made it 
$9 (Goblet)

Theurgist - Mild (4.6%)
A lovely combination of Marris Otter malt from the UK with some darker grains for flavor, color, and body and hopped with gorgeous East Kent Goldings. After hours of an exasperating experience e navigating through a stalagmite maze deep in a dark dank cave the smell of lemongrass being dried over a fire led the participants to freedom, all congratulated with tall old fashioned sodas. A simple meal was had for dinner but it’s how closer was a real hit: a warm dish of pear streusel, followed by luxuriously silky milk chocolate truffles and a small dram of a northern alpine digestif
.25L $3.25 / .5L $6.50

Tuff Luff - IPA (7.5%)
Pilsner malt and oats made the body and we a DDH’d with El Dorado, Citra and Talus for your head. I swear this piece of bubble yum is the size of a city block surrounded by overgrown honeysuckle, but then again I just smelled marijuana for the first time but I swear I didn’t inhale. My entire field of vision is blinded by the brightest green and then suddenly a flying tangerine darts across the plane, and as I come to I’m being handed an intensely red frozen drink on a corner in Key West
.25L $5 / .4L $8

Didn't Land - Pale Ale (4.5%)
A touch of flaked oats made this lil guy reaaaaaaal smooth, and a generous dry hopping with Mosaic and Chinook brought home the bacon. While driving down a sandy dry road a small stand apperas on the left selling New Mexico's finest first of the season apricots, a gagle of juicyfruit fanny packs guzzle frehsly squooz'd OJ, a redundant offering of key lime mini pies and salty margaritas
.25L $4.25/.4L $7.50

 

MIXED FERMENTATION

 

Tiznit - Tart Lemon Dill Saison (5.5%)
This is an old favorite our brewer Zach created while working with his good pals at Forest & Main. Brewed with a mix of grains and lots of our house aged hops then fermented in stainless steel. Reconditioned on a lemon-dill oleo saccharum. On an early spring morning the mountain sky opens up and a pleasant drizzle falls as fine as powdered white pepper. Upon returning home gin martinis are stirred and garnished with preserved lemon, a total treat paired with spears of fresh cucumber while sitting next to the bouquet of flowers you decided to feed milk instead of water
.25L $4 / .4L $7

 
 

HOUSE BOTTLES

 

Io, Saturnalia Reserve '22 - Aged Sour Holiday Saison (9.5%)

$18 (750ml Bottle)

Io, Saturnalia Reserve '23 - Aged Sour Holiday Saison (9.5%)

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)
