Description
We are the incredible result of what happens when brewers wonder “what if” and pursue that curiosity to its fullest. We created Springdale to push the limits of fermentation and explore flavors with the hope of creating bold new beers to share with our friends. That’s why we launched with the largest barrel program in Massachusetts. Over 1300 barrels currently sit in our taproom working their slow magic on beautiful beers. But that wasn’t enough for us. Next we dove into IPAs, traditional European beers with new twists, and fruit-forward kettle sours. All of these were created to explore fermentation forward beers and find new ways to share them with you.
We arrived at this pursuit in a unique way as well. The brewers of Jack’s Abby had been cultivating killer craft lagers for years before we launched, but found themselves wanting to push the limits of beer far beyond their core, traditional lagers. That left them with only one choice – start a whole new brand. That curiosity and willingness to take risks is what launched Springdale. The quality and expertise in this brewery is what drives Springdale.

On tap at Tavern on the Lake in Hightstown, NJ. Opaque black pour. Creamy tan head is minimal. Aroma of roasted malt, oak and bourbon. Not much maple on nose. First sip is oakey with boozy, whiskeyish notes. A hint of maple syrup comes through in middle. Soft, creamy mouthfeel. Very drinkable and perhaps a good substitute for your coffee at Sunday morning breakfast. Very tasty.

Taster pour on tap at 13th annual NH Brewfest. It's an opaque dark yellow with nice sparkle, thin head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma is strong orange and lemon citrus. Taste is very strong orange. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with thin, smooth texture, lively carbonation and crisp, dry finish as taste. Overall, not too complex but great strength and juicy. Strong.
