Coddiwomple *

$9/Pint  $3/4oz  $12/growler fill             

British Dark Mild with English Toffee 

4.0% ABV 19 IBU 20 SRM              

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

A Dark Mild is an easy drinking historic British Countryman’s beer brewed with English Toffee

and full of English flavor; a brilliant companion on your next Coddiwomple!

​​​

Snappy Wit **    All GONE! Another cool Witbier coming soon!

$9/Pint  $3/4oz  $13/growler fill                

Belgian style WitBier    

5.2% ABV 15 IBU 3 SRM

Sharing a Snappy Wit can make you the life of the party!  But Shakespeare warns, "Better a witty fool than a foolish wit".  Enjoy this traditional Belgian wit beer with sharp wheat smoothed over with a moderate oats addition enhanced with a judicious garnish of sweet and bitter orange peel and coriander seed and grains of paradise. When you’re at your Wits end, let Aleman pour you another!

​

Ich glaub' mein schwein raucht'  **    (I think my pig is smokin') 

Bamberg Rauchbier Lager

$9/Pint  $3/4oz  $14/growler fill 

5.4% ABV  16 IBU  24 SRM

In Germany and Austria the locals call this smokey, malty, easy drinking lager a “Speckbier” or “Bacon Beer”.

This traditional mahogany hued brew pairs perfectly with the change of seasons and maybe even some

smoked meats from Fox Country Smokehouse! Whether you pig is whistling or just smokin', this beer is

equally unlikely to be found in a tap lineup anywhere else !

​​​

Oktoberfest **              

$9/Pint  $3/4oz  $14/growler fill 

Octoberfest  Lager 

6.1% ABV   20 IBU  11 SRM

If you don’t get to drink from a boot at the Augustiner Keller or watch the figurines parade around in

the Glockenspiel this year for Oktoberfest in Munich, celebrate the cooler crisper days of autumn right

here at home with this quaffable malty Märzen style lager.  Ein, Zwei, Drei,  Zuppa!

​

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! **             

Dry Irish Stout   on Nitro

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

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!”

If this doesn’t bring you straight to St. James’s Gate, I don’t know what will!

 

​​

Canterbury Ale *  NOW with Whole Cone Cascade Hops!!

$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!

 

Old Darn Bard *  ON CASK!

$9/Pint  $2.50/4oz  no growler fills 

British Brown Ale

4.2% ABV 25 IBU 18 SRM

Telli’n stories and spinnin’ a joke.  Weaving rhymes with honest folk. Dusty bow sawin’ a chune, by the light

of smiles dancing under the full moon. The Old Darn Bard with his tomes of Bull, keeps hearts and glasses

ever full!  Whether in the din of a smoky English pub or at the next floor bouncin’ kitchen junket,

Old Darn Bard goes down as easy as the conversation and as smooth as horse hair on a fiddle string!

Rest in Peace Dudley Laufman.  You were the "Finest Kind"!

​

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 *  All GONE!  MORE SOON!

$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.​​​

 

Hawaiian Punch**

Tropical Fruit Sour   (contains lactose)

5.6% ABV  25 IBU  6 SRM

“How would you like a nice Hawaiian Punch!?” 

 YES! Please! And this all new  tropical fruit sour  also answers the question, "What if your childhood juice box

grew up and went to Brew School?" Packed with passion fruit, orange, and guava, this liquid island getaway

gets a smooth, creamy splash of sweet lactose to keep the tartness from punching your palate too hard.

It’s sweet, delightfully sour, and significantly better at getting you through a family barbecue than a juice box!

​

Dinna Fash **  

$9/Pint  $3/4oz  NO GROWLERS

Scottish Fraoch   

7.1% ABV 19 IBU 22 SRM

The Campbells and the McDonalds would even call a truce to share a pint of this old fashioned malty

Fraoch style, Gruit ale that employs age old temperature dependent brewing techniques using fresh

harvested spruce tips and heather. Don’t worry yourself!  Dinna Fash Yersel!  Lang may yer lum reek!

(long may your chimney smoke) Sàinte Mhath!

​​​​

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. 

​

Mysterious Peasant **   

$9/Pint  $3/4oz  $14/growler fill

Bavarian Farmhouse Ale                  

7.4%  22 IBU      21 SRM        

A little known, old Bavarian peasant beer, a DampfBier is distinguished by a unique fermentation of a barley

beer using a traditional Southern German wheat beer yeast at greater temperatures and pitch rate. This dark, compelling and complex ale brings the pallet on a cloaked journey deep into the mysterious and ancient

Black Forest of fairy tale fame.

​

Pumpkinfest **

$9/Pint  $3/4oz  $15/growler fill              

Belgian Saison 

7.1% ABV 13 IBU 26 SRM       

While Pumpkin beers have suffered much ill will, this singularly unique Pumpkin Saison will change your mind! Pumpkinfest, brewed to celebrate the New Hampshire pumpkin harvest, gets its spicy flavors not from spices,

but from the yeast used to ferment this Belgian Farmhouse ale.  If I didn’t tell you there was 20 pounds of

delicious caramelized roasted pumpkin in this beer, you might just think it was a super tasty, amber saison,

perfect for a crisp fall afternoon!

 

Comin' soon! 

(All hands are on deck to make MORE BEER!!)
