West Side, DIPA, 8.1% ABV
Our unfiltered West Coast IPA has the pine and citrus aroma you expect and the hoppiness you've asked for. Coming in at 103 IBUs, West Side is our hoppiest beer yet. A large grain bill of Pale, Carapils, and Crystal 60 malts achieve an ABV just over 8%. Simcoe and CTZ hops added late in the boil lend pine and citrus to the aroma. Dry hopped with plenty of Centennial, CTZ, and Simcoe. Welcome to the West Side! Available in full & half sizes. $8/$5

Tropical Nor'Easter, DIPA, 8% ABV
Like the sun fighting through the haze on a hot summer day. You’ll sense the sweetness in the air before being walloped with a punch of hopped up flavor. The rich hazy color and silky feel were developed by brewing with an abundance of flaked wheat, oats and Munich malt to create optimal conditions for hosting a storm of fruit flavor. Double dry hopping with El Dorado, Mosaic and Citra provide hints of mango & stone fruit among layers of citrus aroma & flavor. The hoppy bite of pineapple on the finish will leave you eager for another Tropical Nor’Easter Double India Pale Ale. Available in Full & half sizes. $8/$5
$8.00
First Time, NEIPA, 6.4% ABV
Our New England India Pale Ale is smooth, hazy and awash with a citrus fruit aroma. Wheat and oats are mashed with enhanced water, before double-dry hopping with an excessive amount of Citra and Mosaic hops. The yeast brings out a sweet grapefruit flavor. It's so good, your First Time certainly wont be your last. Available in full & half sizes.

Industrious American IPA, 6.2% ABV
Balanced, not overly hoppy with a crisp clean finish. We brewed Industrious by aggressively adjusting the water profile to craft the base for a smooth silky mouthfeel.

Served in full & half sizes.

Travelers Tart Cherry Sour, 5.7% ABV
A Belgian wheat based beer augmented with probiotics in the kettle.
