PORT SIDE

  

1 Enlightened Peasant     $11/32oz growler fill 

Bavarian Farmhouse Ale          7.3%    24 IBU       5 SRM  

A little known, old Bavarian peasant beer, this DampfBier is distinguished by a unique fermentation of a barley beer using a traditional Southern German wheat beer yeast. A refreshingly spicy and delightfully complex ale brings the pallet on a journey deep into the mysterious and ancient Black Forest of fairy tale fame. Neighborhood Brewing Co’s own Brew-Wizard Joe Berwanger offered up some great tips to help make my version of his ground breaking “Boss Flamingo” style beer even more intriguing!

Strong Cranberry Porter      8.4% ABV 25 IBU 32 SRM

This is the kind of simple, easy drinking malty thirst-quencher and tongue loosener that builds Empires in corner pubs and inspires British accents all over the world! AND it is only 190 calories/pint!   Don’t worry!  We know you’re on your way.  We’ll leave the “Pub Light” on for you!

Decadent alpha acids, bodacious ABV, libidinous hops flavor and lascivious hops aroma abound as Citra, Amarrillo, Apollo and Mosaic bare all, making this sassy whirlpool and dry hopped East Coast Double IPA irresistibly compelling! Why just have a repressed IPA when you can get SEXY PHAT?!

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

Wee Heavy/Fraoch Scotch Ale        8.4% ABV 19 IBU 24 SRM

​

4 Saturnalia     $15/32oz growler fill

Belgian Tripel Saison  Bourbon Oaked with Pomegranate      10.7% ABV    29 IBU    32 SRM

Hades burst through a dark crack in the earth and snatched Persephone to be his queen of the underworld. Persephone was not allowed to return to the world above until her mother Demeter prevented all plants from growing. But Persephone had consumed some pomegranate seeds and having eaten food from the dark realm she still could not leave. Zeus then decreed that Persephone would spend some months in the underworld while life would wither and the rest of the year above while life would thrive. Saturnalia is the ancient solstice carnival embracing the snatching of life and light by the dark. Born of this mischievous, soul searching season this mythic brew will accompany your dark ponderings deep into the Winter’s night.
