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

West Coast Pils - Dry Hopped Pilsner (5.2%)
A truly cascadian hop profile with Chinook and Centennial that melds perfectly with a crisp and clean pilsner. This beauty was fermented on our Czech lager strain cold and slow before being dry hopped, resulting in a wonderfully layered and balanced beer
.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 Point - Helles Lager (4.5%)
Brewed in more traditional German methods with lower and longer temperature rests, a long and cool fermentation, and hopped with Saphir and Saaz. Driving to nowhere on a gravel road, non flowering marigold greens, an opentin of Irish oats in the proximity of just formed peach danishes before baking
.25L $3.25 / Tankard $6.50

Concheros - Dark Mexican Lager (5%)
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 and served with a lime. The altar has been set with colorful flowers, your costume fits just right, your ancestors are waiting to dance with you
.25L $3.25 / Tankard $6.50


 

ALES

 

Strobe Lights and Blown Speakers -IPA (5.2%)
A subtle blend of Pilsner and British pale malts, dry hopped with Mosaic and Nelson. Pulling apart pillowy dinner rolls releases a brilliant display of steam which is almost as satisfying as staring at the most iridescent red while sipping a lemongrass and kaffir lime seltzer. One of my favorite games is a gummy peach ring toss; attempting to land one directly in the center of a guava tart (with macadamia nut crust of course) generously topped with Meyer lemon custart.
.25L $4.25 / .4L $7.50

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

Io, Saturnalia - Strong Holiday Saison (9%)
In celebration of the winter solstice we included a medley of grains, a touch of house aged hops, and a hint of dark Belgian sugars. Leathers satchels transporting Assam tea, fresh garlands welcoming all, a Buche de Noel, rotund permissions sit and stare as if watchmen who have all dozed off knowing that on this one there are no foes
.25L $5.00 / .4L $8.00

Laird's 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

Who Is Josh? - English Pale Bitter (4.7%)
We brewed this Pale English style Bitter with our good friend and six-time Jeopardy Champion Josh Weikert. His knowledge of all things is humbling, and since beers is one of his passions this recipe was really fun to develop. A portion of the proceeds from the beer support the Weikel Memorial Scholarship Fund
.25L $3.25 / .5L $6.50

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
.25L $3.25 / .5L $6.50

Reverse Grass - Dry Hopped Saison (4,7%)
A true joy to make, we are in love with Saison and we hope you are too. Or West Coast Pale Ale, Concurrent Pathways, is dry hopped with a half bag each of Cascade, Centennial and Chinook, so after adding hops to that tank we decided to dump the remaining half into this beauty. A fun beer to make and drink. Lots of fruit, cosmic bubblegum, and a huge citrusy and piney finish
.25L $4.25 / .4L $7.50

Colors - IPA (6%)
A blend of British and American malts and hopped with Citra, Cashmere, and Cascade. Just the most crystal blue, a freshly filled pool is a sight to behold; one knows in due time a well sugared youth will abandon their cherry water ice in abrupt rage into the chlorinated depths, the beginnings of the endings. Faces covered in key lime pie, and with all slices consumed one enterprising individual finished every last crumb of remaining crust by gently pressing perfectly ripe champagne mango slices into the pan and expressing blood orange zest as an ephemeral garnish
.25L $4.25 / .4L $7.50

 

MIXED FERMENTATION

 

Timeless Space - Peach Saison (5.5%)
This beautiful thing started with Pilsner and Spelt malts, then hopped in the kettle with Hersbrucker and Saaz and we fermented it directly on second use peaches from Frecon Farms. After mascerating our trusty '24 Slender Spindle on fresh peaches we racked that beer out the day we brewed up this puppy and cast the wort directly onto the used peaches allowing the wild and natural yeasts to do the fermentation. Aged one year prior to release. A subtle yet intoxicating aroma of fuzzy fruits, bright acid that lifts the palate, and a super dry finish that makes you want more and more
$8  (Goblet)


Saltarello - Barrel Aged Saison with Nebbiolo Grapes (6%)
Vox Vineti is one of Pennsylvania’s finest producers of thought provoking wines. Nebbiolo, the noble grape of Piedmont that’s responsible for Barolo and Barbaresco, has found a new home in the Vox vineyard. After the Vox team has vinified their Nebbiolo wine we help them press the pomace then bring it back to the brewery and marry a young saison with the pressed fruit for a two month masceration. The resulting liquid was then laid to rest for 16 months in barrels formerly used by Vox. Once deemed ready bottles and kegs were filled, naturally conditioned and matured on the lees for 14 months. A slow process, but patience has its rewards. Also in 750mL bottles, but we recommend trying both as they are the same but somehow so very different!
Goblet $9

 
 

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)
