4.0% ABV 19 IBU 20 SRM              

Not all those who wander are not lost!  Coddiwomple: “Wandering intently, going no where in particular”.

Chocolate Strong Porter                                              

7.3% ABV      28IBU      42 SRM           

In late winter’s lengthening days, urges spring forth from our often too dormant root chakra stirred by

yearnings for bright verdant mornings. This provocative, rich sipping elixir is best shared with a

very close friend! AleMan will sit this one out for the sake of discretion, so you two are on your own! 

Happy Spring!

​

Hey MacCloud! Get off of my Ewe!**

$9/12oz pour $3/4oz  $16/growler fill 

Scottish Wee Heavy

Aged on Scotch Oak

9.1% ABV      29 IBU      25 SRM

There are a wee few things that can warm a fella on a bitter windswept winters’ eve in the highlands,

but this big, brawny, malty Scottish Winter Warmer is preferred!

​

Scrum*

$9/Pint  $3/4oz  $13/growler fill 

Rugged Brown Ale               

7.4% ABV        37 IBU         24 SRM

Flex the muscles in your liquid grain storage unit and get down in the tight five for a Scrum!  Plenty of malty

muscle smacks of elegance thanks to the “flankers and 8-man” hops additions of Challenger and Tetnanger.

When less than rugged is just not enough, gather 'yer mates and dig deep into a Scrum!

​​​​

Immense Intense Phat Alpha*

$9/Pint  $3/4oz  $14/growler fill 

West Coast Imperial India Pale Ale

Served with fresh Cascade hops through the Binford 2000 InfusiBEERator !!

8.0% ABV    111 IBU    9 SRM

Decadent alpha acids, bodacious ABV, libidinous hops flavor and lascivious hops aroma abound as Citra,

Amarrillo, Ekuanot and Mosaic bare all, making this sassy whirlpool and dry hopped West Coast Double IPA

irresistibly compelling! Why just have a repressed IPA when you can get SEXY PHAT?!

​​

My Goodness! **

$9/Pint  $3/4oz  no growler fills                

Dry Irish Stout  ON NITRO         

4.3% ABV 44 IBU 37 SRM

It was a cool misty evening in Dublin Town.  Amidst the smoky din and low voices and laughter,

Barry, his Athair and Seanathair sat three generations together on that same, time worn bench sippin’ a

pint o’ Stout, by the crackling hearth. Barry stood and held his glass up for a toast,

“For every wound a balm, for every sorrow a cheer, for every storm a calm, for every thirst a Beer! 

Sláinte is táinte!”

​​

Canterbury Ale*  

$9/Pint  $3/4oz  $12/growler fill

American Pale Ale    

5.5% ABV    38 IBU    8 SRM          

You don't have to travel to Sierra Nevada to find Poetic balance.  

"Now that I’ve drunk a draught of quern-ripe ale,

By God it stands to reason I can strike


On some good story that you will all like!"

The Canterbury Tales, Geoffrey Chaucer

Citrusy cascade hops and crisp, bready malt destine this golden, all American Pale Ale

to become a refreshing home-town classic!

​​​​

Big Ben*  ON CASK!  

$9/Pint  $2.50/4oz  no growler fills          

Extra Special Bitter (British pale ale)  

5.7% ABV   39 IBU    11 SRM

A great British Bitter is one of the gold standards that beers around the world are gauged. Of course “Bitter”

doesn’t really mean "bitter".  This is a complex yet delightfully quaffable pale ale that is so

quintessentially, brilliantly British, you’ll want to set your clock back just so you can enjoy one more!

​

Irish Rebel Ale**   ON CASK! 

$9/Pint  $2.50/4oz  no growler fills 

Irish Red Ale

On Steadfast Spirits Whiskey Barrel Cask

4.1% ABV   20 IBU   12 SRM

With a Rebel Ale, you’ll cry More! More! MORE! An Irish Red on Whisky Barrel Cask!! A nod to Mike Green

and my friends at the Rebel Collective for making great beery chunes and revolutionaries everywhere who

stand up for justice.​

​

Pub Light*        

$9/Pint  $3/4oz  $12/growler fill

Light Lager                 

5.0% ABV  17 IBU  4 SRM

Underlying what seems on the surface to be a super light, simple and refreshing lager are seven years of

frustration and love-labor chasing perfection. Alternately, Pub Light has been many things. A British Bitter.

A British Golden Ale. A light Pub Ale. (mostly excuses to use the illuminating tap handle!)  This time the

elusive je ne sais quoi of a true Munich Helles lager is even closer to my grasp!  Although the search for

unicorns really never end, I am pausing here with a sense of Gemütichkeit unill the search

continues another day!

​​​

Galaxius Maximus*  

$9/Pint  $3/4oz  $15/growler fill  

New England India Pale Ale           

7.2%ABV   54 IBU     6 SRM          

Out of this world, hazy-juicy tropical Galaxy Hops flavor! “I’m givin’ her all she’s got Captain!” Galaxy Hops

in the mash for stability, first wort for bitterness, in the boil for flavor, late kettle for flavor, primary for

biotransformation and double dry hopped in secondary fermentation for a super nova explosion of aroma

and a vast constellation of stellar, tropical juicy flavor!

​

Be Hoppy!*    

$9/Pint  $3/4oz  $12/growler fill

Classic Boston IPA         

5.9% ABV   43 IBU   7 SRM

Don’t worry, Be Hoppy!  An old-fashioned malty base balanced with delicate floral and citrus notes

from Cascade hops is the signature of this nostalgic, classically balanced, super- sessionable throwback IPA.​​​

​

We’ve been Jammed!* 

$9/12oz pour  $3/4oz  $18/growler fill 

Raspberry Sour (contains lactose)

5.0% ABV  27 IBU  Red SRM

Next time you are tracking some great beers out in the middle of nowhere, don’t let just any weird little

brewery give you the Raspberry! Hang on to your Dark Helmet and pucker up with this Jammin’,

mouth watering, fruity sour ale that puts all other sours off the radar!​​​​​​​​

​​​​

Brit Wit                        

$9/Pint  $3/4oz  $12/growler fill

British Wheat Beer

5.3% ABV   23 IBU   4 SRM

And now for something completely different. . . If there were such a thing as a British wheat beer, it would recite Monty Python skits with a British accent, double fisted with "a-cupa” Earl Grey Tea. It would be a very silly beer indeed! Citrusy bergamot is as essential to the tea as tea is to the Brits. Sweet orange peel and Amarillo hops enhance the crisp, subtle balance and unexpected flavors and aromas that makes this refreshing, unfiltered summer wheat beer uniquely “BRILLIANT”

​

Granite Ledge Stout*        

$9/Pint  $3/4oz  $13/growler fill 

Espresso-Oatmeal Stout     

6.0% ABV 29 IBU 40 SRM

Canterbury’s own Granite Ledge Coffee, Oats and Beer!  The perfect breakfast drink! A judicious dose

of African espresso complements the dark roasty malts of this silky smooth oatmeal stout. 

​

​​

Murphy’s Red Friday       

$9/Pint  $3/4oz  $18/growler fill 

Whiskey oak Aged Maple Irish/American Red    

7.5% ABV 27 IBU 14 SRM                                  

T’ Luck o’ t’ Irish can often drive even less star-crossed folk than poor Murphy t’ drink!  When t’ numbers

jus’ don’ add up at t’ end of t’ week, and Saint Paddy’s not answerin’ yer heart-felt prayers, bless yer soul,

AleMan is ‘der fer ya wit’ ‘dis new take on an old fashioned, sorrow-drowning Strong Irish Red. A touch of

our own maple syrup sweetens t’s pot o’ red gold t’ make t’ end o’ life’s worst weeks feel like there’s nothin’

so bad that it couldn’t be worse! (read t’s wit’ yer best Irish Brogue, Begorrah!) And what could not be worse

than spending a couple months inside a whiskey barrel  (the beer I mean!)

​

Your Father Smelt of Elderberries     

$9/12oz pour $3/4oz  $16/growler fill 

French Saison        with Elderberries.  aged on Brandy Oak

7.5%   25 IBU   11 SRM                    

Sometimes the hunt for new and interesting beers is like the search for the “Holy Grail”.  If you show up at your beer snob friend’s house with this beer they likely will not say “I already got one!” Elderberries and Brandy Oak ageing lend an earthy-dark fruit backdrop to the singularly unique, spicy/peppery “outrageous accent” of the Saison yeast. (no hamsters were injured in the making of this taunting brew)

​

Comin' soon!
