🍎 BIG APPLE ENERGY. SUBTLE APPLE FLAVOR.

Meet Amalgam Lite Apple.

We took our clean, crisp, easy-drinking Amalgam Lite and added just a subtle touch of apple.

Not sweet. Not cider-like. Not an apple bomb.

Just a light, refreshing lager with a delicate hint of apple that stays in the background and lets the beer still taste like beer.

Crisp. Refreshing. Subtly apple.

Now pouring at Hopothecary Ales. Only two kegs of this were made. Get in soon to give it a try!🍺🍎

🏆 TRIVIA NIGHT IS BACK TONIGHT! 🏆

Last week, Emo Night Shyamalan battled through a 9-team field and came out on top.

They earned the bragging rights, the crown, and the coveted AI-generated team photo (a Hopothecary trivia tradition since its inception, or at least since Emo Night Shyamalan was still going by Pufferbelly and the Squidfingies! 😂).

Think your team can knock them off?

🧠 Trivia tonight
⏰ 7–9 PM
🍺 Great beer, great food, questionable team names encouraged

Grab your smartest friends and come claim the crown.

💉 VACCINE 2.0 IS HERE

When we opened the doors at Hopothecary Ales, Vaccine was one of the beers that started it all.

The original was a crisp, easy-drinking blonde ale dry-hopped with Citra and Mandarina Bavaria. We’ve talked about bringing it back for a while, but rather than simply recreate it, we decided it deserved an update.

Meet Vaccine 2.0.

Same approachable dry-hopped blonde ale, now featuring Alora, Amarillo and Citra for a fresh combination of bright citrus and tropical fruit while keeping the crisp, refreshing character that made the original so drinkable.

An original prescription. Updated formulation.

Vaccine 2.0 is pouring now. 🍺
