Exploration is the line from local beer maker to World-Class Brewer. It’s a pioneer impulse, and it sets the authentic, rural heartbeat of Southern Tier. It’s how we got here. And by the time others catch up, it’ll be why we’re already somewhere else.
From our wildly innovative founder, Phin DeMink, who’s still a daily inspiration, to the new generation of brewers, thinkers, and drinkers who share our pursuit of what’s next, we keep honing the creative edge of brewing discovery.
So this is an open invitation, to anyone who gives a damn about the difference between a well-crafted beer and a stunningly satisfying encounter with the new. Join us on the road less traveled.

12 oz bottle from Half Time. Plenty of pumpkin and maple in the smell, not so much in the taste. Some spices, malt. Thinner than I like in an imperial stout. Lots of anticipation for this one.

Bottled. Nose is caramel, cinnamon spice, pumpkin. Clear orange color with a low head. Super sweet caramel flavor with pumpkin spices, very spicy actually, caramel and spice overshadow the pumpkin. Finish is slightly raspy from all the spice. OK, but nowhere near as good as the original. Too sweet.

I’ve not had the regular warlock yet but…
Southern Tier Maple Warlock
Imperial Pumpkin Stout 8.6%
Deep Ruby verging on black with wispy beige foam. Huge maple fudge aroma, medium bodied and smooth with nutty maple treacle flavor but not all that much pumpkin to be honest.

Cheers to my buddy who brought some Southern Tier back from the US!
Southern Tier Caramel Pumpking
Imperial Pumpkin Ale 8.6%
Beautiful Orange color with virtually no foam. It’s got a big caramel aroma with light pumpkin spices. Fairly full bodied and smooth the taste is syrupy caramel with light pumpkin spices. Solid.
