Lakeside ESB

This English Special Bitter is a style that exists at the intersection between bready Maris Otter pale malt and the earthiness of First Gold English hops. A true session beer, this ESB is nicely balanced and has a rich flavor while remaining light bodied - perfect for a late summer evening by the lake (or under a tent, if that's where you happen to find yourself). 

4.1% ABV     

Czech Pilsner

A classic and crisp lager that showcases the elegance of traditional Czech brewing. Brewed with noble Saaz hops, this pilsner offers a delicate balance of floral and spicy hop character over a clean, bready malt backbone. A soft bitterness and smooth finish make it a refreshing and endlessly drinkable beer. 

4.8% ABV

Two-Rotor Pale Ale

This brew showcases the features of its single hop, the versatile Chinook, which imparts a piney and spicy character and lends complexity to this beautifully-balanced American pale ale. Named after the hop and a childhood memory of my father pointing at a helicopter taking off on an Army base, saying "You see that one, that's a Chinook. You can tell because it has two rotors." I miss him every day.

5.5% ABV 

Strawberry Blonde Ale

 A bright and refreshing ale with a smooth, slightly sweet backbone. Conditioned on real strawberry purée, this blonde ale balances soft malt sweetness with a subtle tartness from the fruit. Light-bodied and easy-drinking, it’s a crisp and flavorful brew perfect for warm days and relaxed sipping. 

5.0% ABV   

Cathy's Coconut IPA

An experimental recipe from a favorite brew Cathy found in San Diego. Very bold IPA backbone provides an assertive beer on which to lay the dominant coconut finish. While it took some convincing for Chad, he eventually agreed to formulate a recipe. Very happy with the brew overall, but especially that it didn't turn out tasting like suntan lotion. Best on sunny Summer days. 

5.2% ABV   

Honey Basil Pale Ale

An assertive, herbal pale ale with vibrant layers of flavor. Fresh basil lends a bright, spicy aroma and savory herbal notes, balanced by a crisp American pale ale base with subtle citrusy hops. A touch of honey softens the finish, adding a gentle sweetness that complements the basil’s spice. Refreshing yet complex, this beer pairs beautifully with spicy dishes, grilled sausages, and Italian cuisine for a uniquely complementary culinary experience. 

5.5% ABV

Bourbon Barrel Aged Oatmeal Stout

 A bold and complex stout, thoughtfully aged over eight months in bourbon barrels to showcase rich, layered flavors. The bourbon leads with warm vanilla and caramel notes, while the oak imparts deep tannins and a smooth, woody backbone. Roasted malt and coffee nuances round out the profile, creating a robust yet approachable brew that highlights the art of barrel aging. 

7.3% ABV    

Deacon Mike's Chocolate Stout

This medium-bodied sweet stout is accented by a determined chocolate character, making it both satisfying, yet crushable. But this stout isn't going to replace a meal or fill you up too quickly. Serving it on nitrogen lends it a silky, almost velvety character and a robust mouthfeel that only adds to its decadent flavor. Pairs especially well with desserts, especially chocolate covered strawberries. Enjoy!

4.3% ABV  

Vanilla Cream Stout

 A rich and decadent dark beer, this sweet stout offers a smooth, full-bodied experience with a velvety finish. Expect notes of roasted malt, chocolate, and caramel, rounded out by a touch of vanilla sweetness that softens the roast. Low bitterness and a creamy mouthfeel make this stout an inviting treat from first sip to last. 

6.0% ABV 

Knickerbocker Lager

This pre-prohibition American lager is a tip of the hat to a distant  family connection – founder of Knickerbocker Brewery, Jacob Ruppert. A simple grain bill that includes flaked corn and 6-row malted barley yields an unassuming yet still distinct light beer with enough character to entice a refined palate while still embraceable by a wider, less discerning audience. 

4.1% ABV    

Festbier 

Moderately sweet maltiness is balanced with a decisive dose of German Hallertau Mittelfruh Hops, creating a balanced pilsner with hop character than some mainstream pilsners. Much lighter in color than our Mez O'Fest, this  balanced, drinkable, and not overly filling brew pairs perfectly with the slight crispness of Fall evenings and the light crunch of leaves under our feet.

5.4% ABV

Roggenbier

German brewers were legally forced to stop brewing with rye after the 1516 German Beer Purity Law, Reinheitsgebot, went into effect. Still, rye beers were once common and popular in Bavaria, which gave us this delicious, yet now sadly uncommon, style of beer. Our roggenbier is visually stunning, the color of maple syrup and slightly hazy, with a frothy head the color of a latte. This beer is spicy and complex, but not bitter. 

5.6% ABV 

Mike's Summer Wheat

Our wheat beer is a refreshing and smooth brew with a light, hazy golden color. Infused with hints of sweet orange peel, it delivers a delightful citrus aroma and a subtle, zesty flavor. With its crisp finish and balanced sweetness, this beer is perfect for those who enjoy a flavorful and easy-drinking experience.

5.5% ABV   

New NEIPA

Our New England IPA (NEIPA) is a hazy delight, bursting with juicy hop flavors and vibrant aromas. With prominent notes of tropical fruits, citrus, and a touch of pine, it offers a velvety mouthfeel and a slightly sweet, smooth finish. This unfiltered brew features a soft, pillowy texture that perfectly complements its bold hop character, making it perfect for hop lovers seeking a refreshing and aromatic experience.

6.1% ABV

Deacon Mike's Chocolate Stout - On Nitro

This medium-bodied sweet stout is accented by a determined chocolate character, making it both satisfying, yet crushable. But this stout isn't going to replace a meal or fill you up too quickly. Serving it on nitrogen lends it a silky, almost velvety character and a robust mouthfeel that only adds to its decadent flavor. Pairs especially well with desserts, especially chocolate covered strawberries. Enjoy!

St. Patrick's Irish Red

When a priest from an Irish Catholic church asks if you could brew a beer appropriate for St. Patrick’s Day dinner, there’s one style that leaps to mind– the quintessential Irish Red Ale. This brew is both malty and complex, with just enough bitterness to provide an appropriate balance. A frothy beige head accents a dominantly red-colored beer intended to be raised to good health and fortune. Sláinte!
