🔅 NEW BEER 🔅

Today (8/27) we are excited to bring back a fresh batch of Robin, our 5.4% Vermont style pale ale brewed with Simcoe, Crosy Chinook & Centennial hops. This has honestly been one of our most requested beers to bring back so we figured we had to do so! This beer is inspired by one of our favorite trips to Vermont years back with great friends. It brings an old school hazy pale ale vibe to a very new hoppy world and we are here for it!

In this batch of Robin we are getting big notes of apricot & cream, pine, grapefruit citrus, and a pleasant residual bitterness. Robin will be available on tap and in 4-packs to go upon opening today.

We also have trivia from 6:30-8:30pm tonight so come on in to try to win some prizes on this gloomy Thursday! Cheers!

🔅 NEW BEER 🔅

Today (8/20) we are excited to introduce our latest collab, Scouts 10th Anniversary Imperial Milk Stout. Scout’s 10th is a 10% imperial milk stout conditioned on Scout's Coffee Bar + Mercantile coffee, cacao nibs, vanilla beans, brown sugar, and sea salt.

As many of you know, Scout’s is a staple in our small town of High Bridge, and when they came to us to brew a beer or their 10th anniversary we of course had to! The inspiration for this beer is a cup of their cold brew with a magic cold foam topping. We started with an imperial milk stout base (10% for 10 years), followed by a blend of Ecuadorian and Ivory Coast cacao nibs. We then added a blend of Madagascar, Ecuadorian, and Indonesian vanilla beans, sea salt, brown sugar, and Scout’s anniversary coffee blend of lightly roasted Burundi and Tanzania beans. Huge congrats to Nicole and the Scout’s team on 10 years!

In this beer we are getting notes of Boston cream donuts, Swiss Miss hot chocolate, chocolate covered espresso beans, marshmallow, and finishes with a slightly dry, light roasted drip coffee bitterness. Scout’s 10th will be available in 4-packs and on tap up on opening today. Come in and say hi. Cheers!

🔅 NEW BEER 🔅

We introduce to you, Vulture. Brewed in collaboration with our friends Lolev Beer, Vulture is a 10% imperial India pale ale brewed with Citra Dynaboost, Citra, Nelson Sauvin, Waimea, NZ Cascade, Waimea cold pressed hop juice, and Nelson Sauvin Sub Zero Hop Keif. We met the guys from Lolev back in early spring while they were on a quick NJ brewery tour. It was awesome to have met Ted and Arthur and share like-minded ideas about beer brewing. Needless to say, we finally got time to put some beer together in tanks! As a lot of you know, Lolev makes “Ultra Hopped Ales.” We think one can agree our bigger IPAs tend to be softer, sweeter, and juicier in the grand scheme of things. For the last month we have been practicing different dry hopping techniques to achieve a profile more like Lolev and some of the other hop saturated IPA producers out there. All in all, we believe this is our most aggressive (yet still juicy) IPA we have made to date and hope you all enjoy!

In this batch of Vulture, we are getting big notes dank diesel resin, cannabis, tropical fruit, cotton candy grape, and citrus pith. Vulture will be available in 4-packs and on tap upon opening tomorrow. Thank you again to the team at Lolev for brewing with us and see you all in this weekend!

🔅 NEW BEER 🔅

We are excited to introduce Natsu, a 4.5% Japanese rice lager brewed with toasted sesame. We’ve wanted to brew a Japanese rice lager for quite some time and finally pulled the trigger! When developing the recipe, we pulled in our buddy Aubrey in for some culinary help, so a huge thank you goes out to him! He advised we source and use a Koshihikari Short Grain White Rice from the Niigata region of Japan. If you know anything about Japanese rice it can get a bit costly, so this time around we source a Koshihikari rice who’s seeds were cultivated from Japan yet grown in California. So for our first batch of Natsu, we used an American grown Koshihikari rice that we milled and cereal mashed along with a simple grist of pilsner malt and rice syrup. Natsu was moderately hopped with Adeena thanks to Crosby Hops, and we then added a touch of toasted sesame seeds to keep everyone on their toes because, why not? This has been one of our favorite lagers to make yet and we hope to continue this exploring more of these types of beers in the future!

We are getting notes of pear and lemon curd, and a silky soft umami and floral finish. Natsu will be available on tap and in 4-packs to go upon opening today. See you this weekend, cheers!
