BEER (updated 3/25/25)

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

Bancroft Beer  |  2.50 / 4 / 6
Mosaic Pale Ale. Our daily drinker, named after the street our humble brewery rests on. Brewed with 2-row and Maris Otter malt. Singularly hopped with Mosaic. Punch notes of Satsuma orange rind, lychee flesh, and fresh blueberry muffin, with a clean and crisp finish. 4.20% abv
 
Keller Kiln  |  3.5 / 5.25 / 7.75
Vienna-style Lager. A red-hued lagerbier brewed with Rabbit Hill Munich malt and Double Eagle Vienna malt – a lovely marriage of toasty grains! Hopped with four fine German varietals and fermented with a Czech-derived yeast strain.  A cellar-pulled keg of lagerbier pre-cold conditioning.  4% abv
 
2D or Not 2D?  |   3.25 / 5.75 / 7.25
Burton Ale. 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. Malty, bitter, herbal, and well-salted. 5.3% abv
  
See You Next Chewsday  | 3 / 4.25 / 6.75
Best Bitter. A pub beer brewed with Gambrinus ESB malt, hopped with Goldings & a bit of Northdown, and fermented with the delightful ester-producer, London III. Comforting aromatics, lemon tea, biscuity malt, gently folded edges. 4.2% abv
 
Second Wish  | 3.5 / 5.25 / 7.75 
Pale Lager. A Czech-inspired collaboration with Wishful Thinking, somewhat of a Philadelphia-brewed version of our last brew, On Second Thought, made in Bethlehem. Brewed with Czech floor malted pilsner & Munich malts, hopped with an ample bounty of two variations of Czech-grown Saaz, and fermented with “the” Pilsner yeast. Fermented gently, naturally carbonated, and conditioned cold, for a total 9-week production time. 4.2% abv
 
Wesley  |  3.75 / 5.25 / 7.75
Texas Pils. Inspired after the great pilsner beer out of Austin, TX and named after the most adorable new addition to the Lone Star State. Brewed with Rabbit Hill Farms Farmhouse Pils malt, bittered with four varieties of German-grown hops, fermented with a yeast of monastic origin, then slowly fermented and conditioned for 10 weeks, leading to natural clarity! Flavors & aromas of honey, lavender, summer-harvest grains, fermenting ’00’ flour pizza dough. 5% abv
 
Huy  |  3.5 / 5.5 / 8
Vietnamese Coffee Stout. 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. 4.55% abv
 
Incantate  |  6  6oz draft
Coconut StoutWine. A hybrid of a beer, Incantate is a barleywine with a handful of roasted specialty malts found in stouts. Brewed to a gigantic starting gravity with thousands of pounds of malt and boiled for over 4 hours. Fermented slowly with a blend of yeasts, then conditioned on both raw and hand-toasted coconut. Black in color, thick-bodied, creamy, sweet, roasty, with flavors of dried fruit, chocolate milk, and lots of coconut. 12% abv
 
Eight Red  |  6  6oz draft
“Saison.” A blended mixed-fermentation beer created with our ages-old RAF culture and brewed with mulberries from the Second District Farm!  Aged for one year in oak, this anniversary blend shows wildflower honey, red raspberries, wood, and SweeTarts. 5.5% abv
 

Eight Green  |  18 750mL bottle

“Saison.” A blended mixed-fermentation beer created with our ages-old RAF culture.  Aged for one year in oak, this anniversary blend shows white peach, tart yellow raspberries, moss, lemon wedge, and a variety of stone fruit aromatics. 5.5% abv
 
Burn, Twist, & Reform  |  14  22oz bottle
Imperial Porter. American-leaning dark beer brewed with custom commissioned Mizunara (Japanese oak) conditioned malt. Hopped lightly with PNW hops, fermented with American ale yeast, then conditioned on Mizunara to achieve an oak character like no other. A rare beer using a rare resource from across the globe! 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. 9% abv
