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.

From a can pour is dirty hazy pale. Slight blackberry nose. First taste impression is that its just another dull fruit beer with some lemonade added to help increase the tartness. Lemonade seems like an adjunct afterthought in this one. Although it has decent carbonation and the lemon helps out with the texture, its still can't hide that its a dull fruit beer. It never recovers. In the middle, I'm wondering where is the blackberry? Yes, there was a blackberry aroma but its totally lacking in the taste, the lemonade is the overriding factor here. Well, in the end I can tell there is some beer in here. Oh well, on the finish, I guess it aint too bad but instead of ST trying to make a thousand different beers and trying to sell them, even if they are half ass; they should try to focus on what they do best. Anybody know what that is?

Can in a mixed 15-pack from Wegmans. Pale gold color, medium haze, low, thick head. Nose is orange juice, grapefruit juice, light pineapple and passion fruit. Tart, fruity flavor. Slightly dank. Slightly tangy and bitter. Rather thin for the style. More convincing than Citra Fog but barely. ST used to be exciting.

Can in a mixed 15-pack from Wegmans. Pale golden color; slightly hazy, airy head. Funky Citra in the nose, lemon and orange, overripe tropical fruits, slightly dank. Tangy citrus flavor , orange candy, nit of resin and ripe mango. Slightly juicy. Rather thin in texture. Lacks the characteristic smoothness of a hazy IPA. Ok but not thrilling.

Bottle from Wegmans. Pitch black with a tall white head. Huge pumpkin pie nose with chocolate caramel and a hint of maple syrup. Sweet pumpkin pie spice, caramel, chocolate and roasted malts with more maple syrup. Spicy finish of cinnamon and nutmeg. Medium to full body. Quite strong bitterness. Pretty impressive.
