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
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. Munich, 2-Row and Crystal 45 malts enhance the flavor and aroma brought out by triple C dry hopping (Columbus, Cascade, and Centennial) before finishing it off with American Ale yeast. Served in full & half sizes.
$7.00
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

RAMber, Roasted Amber Ale, 5.6% ABV
Our Amber ale pushes the style boundary. Besides the traditional base malts of Maris Otter and amber, we added a little bit of pale chocolate malt, crystal 40L and crystal 120L. The combination of these malts add subtle notes of sweetness, roasted coffee, cocoa, and toffee. Citra and Simcoe were added to the whirlpool to round out this smooth mocha surprise. Full-pour $7/Half-pour $4
$7.00
CONFLICTED, 9.1% ABV
Is it an ale or a stout? We started with a blond ale recipe using flaked grains for body, a bit of lactose for sweetness, then added cacao and cold brewed coffee to create the flavor profile. It looks like an ale, but tastes like a stout. Hence the name-Conflicted. Served in a snifter. $8
$8.00

This West Coast inspired ale is bright and crisp. Cascade hops that lead on the nose are balanced out with American Ale yeast for a malty finish. Sure to cure Whatever Ales You. Full & half size servings.
