 Enlightened Peasant     

$8/Pint  $2.50/4oz  $11/32oz

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!

​

 Cranberry Sauce       

$8/Pint  $2.50/4oz  $12/32oz 

Strong Cranberry Porter      

8.4% ABV  25 IBU  32 SRM      

As the holidays threaten the perennial onslaught of family, there are those times when you just have to “hit the sauce”!  Twelve pounds of home-made cranberry puree complements the undertones of fruity dark malts to make this late autumn, big American Porter a great excuse to be Thankful!!

 

​

 Pub Light     

$8/Pint  $$2.504oz $11/32oz 

British Pub Session  Ale            

4.6% ABV   12 IBU   5 SRM

 A guy walks into a British Pub and says “A pint of Bitter please” And then a short time later says it again. . . and again.  . . and again. 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!

Imperial India Pale Ale                

8.0% ABV    111 IBU    9 SRM                            

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?!

Journey into 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 subdued malt destine this golden all American Pale Ale to become a refreshing home-town classic!

In late winter’s lengthening days, urges spring forth from our often too dormant root chakra stirred by yearnings for bright verdant mornings.

 Big Ben     

$8/Pint  $2.50/4oz  $11/32oz

Extra Special Bitter (British pale ale)    

6.4% ABV   35 IBU   15 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 robust, complex yet quaffable pale ale that is so Brilliantly British, you’ll want to set your clock back to "beer thirty" just so you can enjoy one more!

 

​

 Saturnalia     

$8/12oz pour  $2.50/4oz $15/32oz

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.

 My Goodness!          

$8/Pint  $2.50/4oz   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!”

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

  Murphy’s Red Friday       

$8/Pint  $2.50/4oz  $12/32oz

Whiskey Oaked Maple Irish Red    

7.7% ABV 27 IBU 17 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!)

​

 Scrum       

$8/Pint  $2.50/4oz  $12/32oz 

Rugged Brown Ale

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, dig deep into a Scrum!
