HOUSE BEERS
LAGERS
Skald - Light Lager (4%)
German malt and a single decoction with American grown Saaz Hops, fermented under pressure with our Czech Lager yeast to create natural carbonation. The hills are alive with the various flashes of color from newly sprouted spring flowers, the sight as satisfying as the "pop" from a just-peeled tube of biscuits with a single lemon drop candy dancing from cheek to cheek and tooth to tooth. It may have been from a forgettable distraction, but the freshly cut broad leafed herbs which were intended to be dispersed over creamy polenta found their way atop an undisturbed bowl of flaky wheated cereal endorsed by famous athletic professionals
.25L $3.25 / Tankard $6.50/6pk $12
Tutto Pils - Italian Pilsner (5%)
A single decoction of al Pilsner malt to highlight the sweet grain flavors and dry hopped with German Saphir, an incredibly floral lager. Unseen honeysuckle hidden behind Cypress trees, tropical fruit skins near a machine churning gelato sweetened with apples from a far away land
.25L $3.25 / Tankard $6.50
Schlussstein - Rye Lager (5.75%)
Brewed with the winners of Keystone Hops Homebrew Club's War of the Worts, together we concocted this beautiful Rye Lager. The rye malt was decocted into a sticky mess, bringing out an ethereal spice and earthy character, all highlighted by Saphir and Saaz hops. Fermented under pressure to naturally create carbonation. We're thrilled with how this is pouring! Congrats Chaya, Bruce and Brian!
.25L $3.25 / Tankard $6.50
Baas - Hammer Lager
Brewed for those in this rocky commonwealth that labor hard and need a beer after work that feeds the soul, mug after mug. A familiar but unknown presence speaks indecipherable Spanish to a young person, three hundred years of baling hay, shaded limestone 5% thrones for chocolate sorbetto breaktime
.25L $3.25 / Tankard $6.50
Stump - Schwarzbier (5%)
A healthy dose of Munich malts brings out the bread flavors and enough darker malts give it that perfect red/black color we all love. Tiny carcasses of pressed grapes liter the tiled celar floor, burlap bags as tapestries, a sheep skin leather coat while you pick actually ripe starfruit
.25L $3.25 / Tankard $6.50
The Peak - House Pilsner (5.57%)
100% Pilsner malt, 100%Michigan grown Saaz hops, and a single docoction, poured from the Lukr side-pull faucet.

New Zealand - Pilsner (5%)
Dry hopped pilsner. Even though this beer is bright,dry, and refreshing, a strong malty backbone dances around the edges, resulting from a single decoction of al Pilsner malt. After a long and cool fermentation under pressure with our House Lager Yeast we dry hopped this beauty withMotueka straight from the land of the kiwis.

Concheros - Dark Mexican Lager (6%)
Brewed in collaboration with Team Pistola’s, our cousins in Philly that have always offered great craft beer. A touch of darker malts, 20% flaked maize, gently hopped an served with a lime.
ALES
Viceroy - Dry Pub Stout (4%)
We love blending Pilsner and Maris Otter malts for the backbone of a little stout: the former to keep it bright and dry with the latter adding thos richer bread like flavors and aromas. While mixing a fresh pot of Turkish coffee inside an old barn with dirt floors a small fire is char-grilling a few orange slices. Will they be used to garnish a red velvet cake or to be enjoyed next to pretzels dipped in dark mole Poblano or maybe just drizzled with pomegranate molasses?
.25L $3.50/Tankard $7.00
Baby Barleywine - ESB (4%)
Envisioned and executed withour dear friends from Brass Collar Brewing this Baby Barleywine (aka ESB) was brewed with local malt from Double Eagle and hopped with the elusive Barmling Cross. The wafting aroma of a mild Indian curry climbed all the way to the top of a very, very tall deciduous tree while an ecstatic Puli is bounding into the puddles of a just past rain shower. Atop a weathered and deeply worn hose saddle stands a solitary olive studded crusty load of sourdough surrounded by dried dates stuffed with orange peels
.25L $3.50/Tankard $7.00
Regular Absent Void - Imperial Stout (11%)
As you descend the stairs still-burning embers remind you of last night's glories, overflowing with whiskey and apple brandy barreled dreams (message!). It's bread and dessert season so let's get all fat and sassy.
$9 Goblet
Iconique - Classic Saison (4%)
It's been a very long time since we've had a classic and clean Saison on draft. For all ya'll that still believe, this is for you. Brewed with a blend of cereal malts and hopped with the finest fresh Saphir and our house aged hops. Casually twisting a fresh coating of ground white pepper on the rim of a glass before filling with lemonade the bartender's eyes wander over the rolling hills of Wallonia via the window, spring Geraniums dot the landscape. Dangling from the rafters as reminders of summers past, cucumber skins now curl over the nails that support them while an offering of lemon balm and spoonful of passionfruit lie in wait at the foot of the altar
.25L $4.25 / .4L $7.50
Rotating Barrel Aged Absent Void - Imperial Stout (12%)
We tucked some of our Absent Void into a Laird's Brandy barrel to rest for many months.
Goblet $9
Cu Faoil (koo-fweel) - Nitro Stout (4%)
Brewed with pale malt and a touch of darker grains, this beer pours more red than black as it should. No snakes. No problem. Now we go the hounds so we can consume a plenty. Thank the stars

MIXED FERMENTATION
HOUSE BOTTLES
Slender Spindle '25 - Tart Saison w/ Peaches (6%)
Brewed with a hint of wheat and loaded with our house aged hops to aid in long aging, this saison was originally fermented clean in stainless steel for just a few days and was then blended with many many crates of peaches from Frecon Farms. We let this year's age quite a bit longer than previous years and we're thrilled at how much fruit still comes through but with a more nuanced and balanced palate
$10 (375ml Bottle)
Io, Saturnalia Reserve '23 - Aged Sour Holiday Saison (9.5%)
Made in a very similar fashion to last year with a mix of malts and European hops but with a more restrained mixed culture fermentation. This year's shows delicate tartness and balance with hints of cherries and dried plums, some funky chocolate, and holiday breads that are spiced just right
$18 (750ml Bottle)
Voces Chorum Rose 2022 - (6%)
Aged on Cabernet Sauvignon and Barbera Grapes from Vox Vineti's rose', Discantus. After harvest the grapes were in contact with the wine for two days before pressing, then we brought the spent pomace to the brewery, was put in a stainless steel tank a top a deconstructed wine barrel and a young saison was introduced and rested for a few weeks before packaging. This hot pink beauty tastes great as we approach harvest.
$18 (750ml Bottle)
Ake - Smoked Grisette w/ Sour Cherries (6%)
Orginally brewed as a smoked Grisette, a saison style from Belgium made with wheat and fermented in stainless steel, we later introduced 300lbs of Montmorency Cherries from the amazing folks at Three Springs Farm. Big notes of aforementioned fruit with a mineraly smokiness, beautiful acidity that rides a big red wave, and a mouthwatering dryness that reminds us of being blissed out mid summer
$18 (750ml Bottle)
Halfway Endless - Barrel Aged Saison with sour Cherries (6)
Inspired by Lambic producers and how they treat their fruited beers, we brewed a saison many many moons ago and allowed it to age in used oak wine barrels for 14 months. After that time we racked the aged beer to a stainless steel tank and added a few hundred pounds of local Montmorency Cherries from Beechwood orchards. Once the wild microbes had nearly completely consumed the cherries, extracting their color and flavor the finished beer was bottled and kegged, allowed to carbonate naturally, and age for nearly a year. Subdued by notable fruit is perfectly balanced with aged hop flavor and pronounced baryard quality. We’re so thrilled with this beer!
$12 (375mL bottle) / $20 (750mL bottle)
Branle - Barrel Aged Saison with Bordeaux Style Grapes (6%)
Another thought provoking beer and wine grape collaboration with our friends at Vox Vineti in Christiana, PA. Branle was made with a pomace from Vox’s Polyphony, a Bordeaux style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet France and a touch of Petit Verdot. Once we brought the pressed grapes back to our brewery we married them with a youn saison and allowed everything to macerate together for six months before filtering off the grape skins. This liquid then rested for 16 months in oak barrels also from Vox. After this long rest, the finished beer was bottled and racked to keg and was aged an additional 10 months. As always, we are thrilled to share this with you.
