Our Beers

SECOND DISTRICT STANDARDS

Bancroft

Pale Ale | 4.20% | 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.

Huy

Vietnamese Coffee Stout | 4.55% | 2025 edition of our homage to our beloved Huy. This batch is special – in addition to it being a more drinkable ABV, we collaborated with Càphê Roasters from Kensington to add another Vietnamese element to this Vietnamese coffee-inspired stout. Thomas provided us with a bold Robusta, which was cold steeped (like cold brew) during conditioning. The coffee is the star here, but holding it up is a beer brewed with malted barley, oats, and wheat from Double Eagle Malt, various levels of roasted grains, and a good bit of chicory coffee! There’s even some vanilla (Sumatran and Tahitian) to round flavors out. This batch contains *no* milk sugar and is vegan.

Beckie Bier

Lager | 4.2% | 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.

Hopped decisively with Hallertau Mittelfrüh & Blanc, Hüll Melon, Rubin, and Sladek, providing a confident bitterness and delightful citrus flavor. Mashed using a double "decoction" (utilizing a combo mash/latuer tun and kettle) to compensate for the rustic traditionality of the Czech floor malt, all the while adding malt flavor complexities. Fermented with an overlooked ale strain, followed by extended lagering & cold conditioning. Herbal hops, communion wafer, green tea, yuzu zest, honey wheat loaf, summer dew, absölütely crisp.

Tri-Jet

Session IPA | 4.6% | Hoppy pale beer filled with proteinaceous malts, fermented with ale yeast of storied origin, and hopped with the two ol' reliables + some Riwaka.

Paid in Layers

East Coast IPA | 6.3% | Brewed with all the malted oats and fermented with a familiar strain of yeast. Hopped with three forms of Trident®️ hops, and dry hopped with NZ Riwaka. Loads of tropical fruit entangled with dank American pungency. Unfortunately, you can't pay for this one with gum.

2D or Not 2D?

Burton Ale | 5.3% | An English-inspired brew featuring well-seasoned water, emulating sulfate content of the highly-gypsous water from the town of Burton-upon-Trent. Brewed with Pale malt from Double Eagle, hopped with Goldings & Northdown from the UK, and fermented with an English ale yeast.

Cuvée de Bancroft

Stainless-Aged “Saison” | 5.5% | A fun experiment in how switching one or two ingredients in a recipe 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 strawberry and delicate earthy malt, with a bone dry finish shaped by our classic minerality.
