🔅 NEW BEER 🔅

Today we introduce Highland, a 5.2% Hefeweizen style wheat ale. With summer just about in full swing, we wanted a nice refreshing wheat ale on tap for the season and haven’t done a hefeweizen since our first summer here! We step mashed this hefeweizen to achieve the best-rounded natural banana flavor we could without it being overpowering. We’re pretty stoked with the result!

Highland is giving us notes of banana bread, fresh clove, vanilla, and biscuit with a dry floral hop finish. This beer will be available on tap upon opening today, but❗️cans sadly will not be available to go until next week❗️

We will be opening at 3pm tomorrow (6/19) for the USA vs Australia match with other games on during our open hours this weekend. Don’t forget this Sunday is Father’s Day, so make sure to treat your dad to a cold pint as well! Cheers!

🔅 NEW BEER 🔅

We’re excited to introduce our newest batch of Double Fauna! Double Fauna Nelson is an 8.5% imperial India pale ale brewed exclusively with Nelson Sauvin hops from our friends at Freestyle Hops. We received a particularly aromatic lot of late harvest Nelson and had to whip up a batch to exclusively showcase it!

In this batch of Double Fauna we are getting big dank, tropical fruit cocktail, and Sauvignon Blanc notes with a pink grapefruit finish. It’s definitely one of our favorite batches of across the Fauna family thus far!

Double Fauna Nelson will be available on tap and in 4-packs to go upon opening today. It’s gonna be a hot start to the weekend and we have the A/C blasting, so come stay cool with us! Cheers!

🔅 NEW BEER 🔅 & 🏁 SOAP BOX DERBY DAY 🏁

‼️OPEN 10am 6/6 with open container on street‼️

Today we are excited to introduce the first of our new series Natural Phenomenon. Natural Phenomenon 001 is an 8.6% imperial India pale ale. This series is for us to explore everything hoppy. That includes process, ingredients, and so on and so forth. We will be keeping all the hops and such a mystery to avoid bias in these fun experiments, but we will kind of let you in on what we have played with!

For batch 1 of Natural Phenomenon we played with a new yeast, hot side process, and dry hopping process and are definitely liking some of the changes! We also used some hops we have never used before which was fun. We feel this beer doesn’t come off as a typical Esker Hart hoppy and hope you all enjoy! Also, our staff doesn’t even know what is in the beer, so if you ask they aren’t lying when they say no. We are getting notes of Dole fruit cups, cotton candy grapes, stone fruit, with a dry resin finish.

Natural Phenomenon 001 will be available on tap and 4-packs to go upon opening today. Don’t forget, TODAY, Saturday (6/6) is the annual High Bridge Soap Box Derby at 10am! So come by and hang out to watch the races as well as grab a can to go for the open container permit.

🔅 NEW BEER 🔅

On tap for a limited time only we introduce Forest Edge 3, a 12.5% Old Ale brewed with molasses. For those who have followed us since homebrewing, you’ll know that this is the non-barrel aged version of our beer Moose. We had 8 gallons left over after filling barrels this year and decided to throw her on tap for you all to try!

The best way we can describe how we brew this beer is a 50/50 grist recipe of imperial stout and barleywine. Because of this we’re getting big notes of burnt sugar, black strap molasses, plum, dark fruit, with a sweet roasted coffee and bitter baker’s chocolate finish.

Forest Edge 3 will be draft only and will be on tap upon opening today. Come hang out!

🔅 NEW BEER 🔅

Today (5/28) we introduce Rill, a 3.5% session IPA brewed with Citra and Motueka hops. We’ve been trying some new brewing methods the past few batches for low ABV offerings and decided to through a nice light hoppy in the mix! We also deviated from our typical house hazy IPA yeast and used a new yeast to deliver a much drier beer. It’s our first time brewing this style and we’re pretty excited for the outcome as it is a perfect summer crusher!

Rill is giving off big lemon lime notes, almost Sprite like, accompanied by grapefruit pith and passion fruit, with a dry grassy finish. Definitely one that is easy to crush outside all summer long.

Rill will be available on tap and in 4-packs to go upon opening today. Don’t forget we have trivia as well from 6:30-8:30pm tonight! Come hang out and have a pint, it’s going to be the perfect night to sit outside and have a drink! Cheers

🔅 NEW BEER in CANS🔅

Today (5/21) we have Petal in cans! As mentioned last weekend Petal is our 3.5% Grisette conditioned on a fruit tisane or herbal tea. This tisane is a blend of papaya, apple, pineapple, and orange pieces as well as hibiscus petals, rosehips, rose petals and sunflower petals. We are getting big notes of raspberry, Granny Smith apple, sweet tart candy, cherry, and finishes with a crisp and tart yet not sour finish.

Petal is on draft and in 4 packs to go upon opening tonight and we’re happy to say we’ll be back to our regular one per week releases starting this weekend! (Pending now major issues). Come stop by for a pint; cheers!

NEW BEER

We are excited to introduce batch one of our new series, Petal. Petal is a 3.5% Grisette conditioned on a fruit tisane or herbal tea. This tisane is a blend of papaya, apple, pineapple, and orange pieces as well as hibiscus petals, rosehips, rose petals and sunflower petals. We were super excited to brew this beer for two main reason. If you have followed us since our homebrew days, we really only made two styles of beer, imperial stouts and saison/farmhouse style ales. We don’t have the luxury of doing mixed culture beers at this location, but we finally were able to take a clean version of our homebrew grisette recipe and scale it up using a new to us French saison yeast! We also don’t get the chance to really experiment often here, but we have always felt tea is a super underappreciated/underused ingredient in beermaking and have decided to really start diving deep into the world of teas with this new series. We hope this is the first batch of many and are excited to start showcasing different teas and tisanes in future batches!

In this first batch we are getting big notes of raspberry, Granny Smith apple, sweet tart candy, cherry, and finishes with a crisp and tart yet not sour finish. We really think this is a great summer beer for the hot weather coming and hope you all feel the same!

Petal will be available draft and growlers only this weekend with cans to follow next weekend. So come on in for a pint or take some home for the beautiful weekend we are about to have. Cheers!
