Description
What does it mean to be proud of what you’d done, and to celebrate it at the end of a long, hard day? What does it mean to feel like a neighbor to the stranger sitting next to you? What does it mean to know you have somewhere you belong?

After many years of brewing and the many awards that have adorned Haymarket Beer, Peter L. Crowley understands a thing or two of what makes a great beer. We named our company – Haymarket Beer Company – in honor of those ideas and the people who took pride in them and worked hard to protect them. (That’s a great story, by the way, and you should read more about it.)

We’ve built Haymarket out of everyday people – office workers and school teachers, stonemasons and police officers, plumbers and postal workers – with one promise: making great beer for great beer drinkers. It means that even as we grow, that we never lose sight of what got us where we are today – each other.

Forgive us for getting mushy – this kind of stuff doesn’t come out well through a computer screen. Come and see us the next time you’re in town. We’ll show you what we mean.

Tap at Haymarket. Hazy orange-tan. Creamy beige/off-white head. Massive pronounced Sorachi Ace tones, very modern IPA. Clean and drinkable. Steady citrus zest, rind flavor. Well balanced, centered beer.

Tap at Haymarket. Brown-black body, translucent edged. Big thick beige head. Mellow carbonation. Big creamy chocolate roast tones. Luscious, heavy specialty malts. Big brown chocolate. Respectably hopped, more so than some breweries Black IPAs. Solid.

Tap at Haymarket. Wow. A "classic" US IPA done really well. The massive dry hopping pays off with a juicy orange-pine citrus tone. Toasty caramel backbone, fruity ale yeast notes. Bold, flavorful. Packs a punch for the moderate ABV.

Tap at Haymarket. Singels seem to be catching on in Chicago. This is malt centered, a very pleasant drinker. Doughy, creamy, some noble hop balance. Not so far removed from a boho lager somehow. Pretty good. Fruity ale notes.

Tap at the brewery - was served this by mistake when I asked for the abbey dubbel - oh well, I’m not going to complain about having to try another new beer - this one is a pretty basic and uneventful experience - overly sweet, simplistic malt structure - strongly citric hops, but thankfully the bitterness is restrained and non-abrasive, so in that respect, it is somewhat more balanced than other examples of the style - that sweetness, though - it’s awfully potent.

Tap at the brewery - hazy amber - decently done for the style - a lot of earthy, dusty basement yeast qualities add a fair amount of depth - some fruity easters and clove and pepper phenols - all kept in decent balance - malt character is a little lacking - some dark fruit, but overall a little flabby - decent otherwise.
