Bancroft Beer
Our daily drinker, named after the street our humble brewery rests on. Brewed with 2-row and Maris Otter malt. Singularly hopped with Mosaic. Punchy notes of Satsuma orange rind, lychee flesh, and fresh blueberry muffin with a clean and crisp finish. 4.20% abv

Big Skipper
Table IPA, brewed with 100% northwestern 2-row and a dash of cane sugar. Fermented extra warm with our house yeast for a more expressive profile. Hopped generously with Citra, Simcoe, and Mosaic. Juicy grapefruit spritzer, hints of mango, lightly dank, and incredibly refreshing in this sticky Philly summer heat. It’s a real treat. 2.6% abv

The Next Generation
A collaborative effort with La Cabra Brewing from Berwyn, PA, this was brewed with Rabbit Hill Farms pilsner malt and ZERO hops cones, pellets, or powders.

Focused on Citra, Mosaic, and Nectaron, with dashes of Maui Nelson, Ambrosia, and Lotus. Marlborough Sauv blanc, spring rain, mandarin orange, sweet breakfast biscuit, tangelo, Nerds Rope. 8.5% abv

Watermalone
Fruited Gose. Tart + Saline ale brewed with barley & wheat malt from Rabbit Hill Farms. Dosed with the fanciest of salts and fermented with far beyond a reasonable amount of watermelon.

Festbier 2024

Lil’ Foot
Lil’ American Barleywine. Inspired by the original, but with a 2D take, this is a red-tinted hoppy beer brewed with Nugget and Amarillo, and fermented with everyone’s favorite lager yeast. All of the PNW hops bite you’ve been craving since the ‘00s, lemon zest, and a lot of malt. The argument of hoppy red ale vs American barleywine has been made, and this will further that conversation – at more reasonable strength. 6.8% abv

Seven
Our Seventh Anniversary blend perhaps exemplifies what we do here at Second District more than any other project we’ve ever worked on. A blend of old world techniques with a nod to modern experimentation, and a little whimsy thrown in for good measure. Seven began as a blend of several releases from the late summer of 2022. We took some kegs of Wee Buddy, an English Summer Ale; Apricot Helix, an apricot-tangerine hard seltzer; Zestimated Antler, a lime zest conditioned version of our Nelson Pale Ale; and Future Rustic, a Bière de Coupage, and blended them all into one of our RAF tanks and allowed them to mingle for awhile. Once refermentation was complete (from the mixed culture inoculation provided by Future Rustic), we racked it into oak white wine barrels that had previously held our 5th anniversary blend for a lengthy two year slumber. The transformation of the liquid over that time is somewhere along the lines of a citrusy barrel aged saison, if we had to put our finger on a “style”; A melange of trifoliate orange skins, rubbed sage, classic barnyard, with a dry zesty finish. Most importantly, it’s just a really fun sip. Naturally carbonated in both bottle and keg. 6% abv. Cheers to Seven Years!
Available in 750mL bottles for onsite and to go
