BEER (updated 1/20/25)

*HAPPY HOUR 4-6PM Monday-Friday, $2 off House DRAFT pints*

Cuvée de Bancroft  |  4 / 6 / 8.5
A fun experiment in how switching one or two ingredients in a beer can drastically transform the profile of a beer. Brewed with the same grist of 2-row and Maris Otter as our beloved house beer Bancroft Beer, but hopped with aged East Kent Goldings in the kettle. We then pitched our RAF mixed culture blend, and allowed it to ferment and condition for 3 months before being dry hopped with fresh East Kent Goldings. The result is a completely unique experience compared to regular Bancroft Beer. A bright lemony citric punch up front which lends way to delicate earthy malt with a bone dry finish shaped by our classic minerality. 5.5% abv
 
Amor de Julieta | 4 / 5.75 / 8.5
The brainchild of our beloved Jeffrey, this tart fruit beer was brewed with malted wheat and barley from Double Eagle, a light touch of Superdelic hops, and a plethora of guava! We hand pureed the fanciest watermelon guavas from Miami, then back sweetened with even more of the highest quality guava purees. This beverage is abundantly aromatic and provides a tart, tropical refreshment. 4.3% abv
 
Lehké  |  3.5 / 5.5 / 8
Pale Lager. 8P Czech-inspired pale lager beer brewed with pilsner malt from Rabbit Hill Farms and hopped with Czech-grown hops. Conditioned cold for two months. A full-flavored pale beer experience starting with billowy foam, entering into comforting flavors baking bread, and finishing with a satisfying hops tingle. 3.0% abv
 
Beckie Bier | 3.5 / 4.75 / 7.5

Amber Lagerbier. Brewed with all Double Eagle Munich & Vienna malts, hopped with HBC 472 (the one that tastes like caramel cremes and bourbon barrel), and fermented under pressure with everyone’s go-to lager strain. This little number had a whole lot of pumpkin puree added hot side, with a touch of yams for an additional autumnal touch. Smells like heirloom grains, citrus zest, marbled rye bread, half-baked pumpkin pie. Deep complexity of craft malts on the palate, accompanied by first cutting meadowlands grasses, well-steeped Tetley black tea, 210grain Dave’s Killer Bread Crust. 4.20% abv.

 
Pumpkin Spice Beckie  |  3.25 / 4.75 / 7.5
Lager with Spices. Amber lagerbier brewed with all Double Eagle Munich & Vienna malts, hopped with HBC 472 (the one that tastes like caramel cremes and bourbon barrel), and fermented under pressure with everyone’s go-to lager strain. This little number had a whole lot of pumpkin puree added hot side, with a touch of yams for an additional autumnal touch.  This variation of “Beckie” was treated with some of the nicest spices you’d find in your favorite holiday pies! 4.2% abv

Burn, Twist, & Reform  |  6 (6oz)
Imperial Porter. American-leaning dark beer brewed with custom commissioned Mizunara (Japanese oak) conditioned malt.

Dark chocolate bark, tahini ice cream, burnt caramel, Lancaster County mocha milk, Toblerone, soft oak tannin with a creamy texture. Brewed for the season, straight from the abyss.

Incantate  |  6 (6oz)
