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

Cinco de Lima**      

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

Tequila Oak Aged Lime Sour

5.9% ABV 26 IBU 4 SRM 

This único cerveza answers the question: “How do you make a beer that tastes like a Margarita to celebrate

Cinco de Mayo and the warmer days of Spring?” Soured using a new lactic acid producing yeast then

hopped with five lime note hops: Ekunaut, Wakatu, Motueka, Lemondrop and Waiti and dosed with

12 pounds of fresh limes for bushels of pallet puckering citrus-lime flavor. Hold onto your sombrero

on ‘cause this light, Tequila barrel aged, late spring beer will get you in the mood to Celebra Todo!

Mesquite Smoked Habanero Wheat      

5.0% ABV  23 IBU    4 SRM

Like fireworks in your glass! This light wheat ale is bold, refreshing and HOT! An explosion of flavor;

this is a real white-hot fire cracker of a summer wheat ale!  Happy 4th of July and Happy Summer!

​

​

Red Glare**                        

$9/Pint  $3/4oz  $16/growler fill 

American Honey Red Ale   

6.0% ABV  34 IBU 13 SRM

“And the rocket’s Red Glare. . . gave proof through the night that our flag was still there”

Let’s raise a glass in Memorial tribute to those who have given all, and to their friends and family.

The two worlds of beer and mead blend to form what, in Great Britain, is called a “Braggot”.

Just as the two worlds of war and of peace hang forever in precarious  balance.

​

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!* (contains lactose)

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

Raspberry Sour

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!​​​​​​​​​​​​

​

Hey! MacCloud! Get off of my Ewe!

$9/Pint  $3/4oz  $16/growler fill 

Scottish Wee Heavy Aged on Scotch Oak

9.1% ABV  24 IBU  23 SRM

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

and this big, brawny, malty Scottish Wee Heavy  is preferred over a flock of alternatives!

​

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. 

​

​​​Enlightened Peasant

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

Bavarian Farmhouse Ale            

7.3%  26 IBU 5 SRM

A little known, historic 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.

​

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)
