Münchner Oktoberfest / Märzen 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

Heidi and Josh chanted "Must!  Have!  Dunkel!"     . . . As you wish! 

Vienna malt provides the reliable Austrian foundation (like Peter!) for this “Beautiful Brown” lager,

Wee Heavy/Fraoch Scotch Ale       

8.4% ABV 19 IBU 24 SRM

Don’t worry yourself!  Dinna Fash Yersel! 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 mountain harvested spruce tips and heather.

Lang may yer lum reek! (long may your chimney smoke) Especially important in a Highland winter

or if you brew beer with a wood fired boiler! Slainte!

Smoke House Porter is a robust, malty, mahogany ale with custom smoked malt from our

awesome neighbors at Fox Country Smoke House. (foxnh.com) Smooth, complex undertones

of dark smoky chocolate, will hold its own with some tasty Fox’s smoked cheese and some 

Fox’s tangy beef jerky! Visit the smoke house and stock up on snacks to munch on here at the brewery!

7.4%        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!

​​​​

West Coast Imperial India Pale Ale

Served with fresh Mosaic hops through the "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?!

​

British Dark Mild

with English Toffee

4.2% ABV    22 IBU    15 SRM

English flavor; a brilliant companion on your next Coddiwomple!

​

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!

5.0% AVB  18 IBU  4 SRM

Aleman can’t help loving lagers too!  There isn’t a more drinkablely simple yet sublimely complex lager

like a Münchner Hell  to transport your suds sipper to the “feel good” camaraderie along a long, sturdy

bier hall table immersed in the swirl of shouts, cheers with the oompah band at the Augustiner!

​

 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 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  $13/growler fill            

Belgian Saison     

6.6% ABV 27 IBU 17 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 Festival, 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, rich, amber fest-beer, perfect for a crisp fall afternoon!

Bavarian Farmhouse Ale                     

7.4%ABV   24 IBU     25 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.

​

ON CASK! (no growlers)

​

 Big Ben

$9/Pint  $2.50/4oz  no growlers          

Extra Special Bitter (British pale ale)  ON CASK!

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

$9/Pint  $2.50/4oz  no growlers

British Brown Ale  ON CASK! Served directly from a Steadfast Spirits Bourbon Barrel!

4.1% ABV   25 IBU   18 SRM

 

Happy 94th birthday to Canterbury's own Dudley Laufman!

​

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!

~SA

​

Whether in the din of a smoky English pub or at the next floor bouncin’ kitchen junket here in Canterbury,

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

Served on cask from a Steadfast Spirits bourbon barrel!!  Follow the intensifying barrel contribution over time!

Super sessionable! Super traditional!

Beer the way Mother Nature intended!  Pure and Simple!
