On tap at HopCat, a collaborative beer brewed in the bar’s in-house brewery. Deep opaque brown body, thin buff head. Medium-bodied but somewhat hollow palate, with roasted malts, dry chocolate, and fruity wheat. Light alcohol presence.

On tap at HopCat, one of the initial offerings brewed using the bar’s in-house brewery. Slightly hazy orange body, thin off-white head. Herbal, grassy, bitter body and nose with modest rye spiciness and a hint of honey. Tasty.

Lager on tap at HopCat, brewed at Sherwood with the help of Michael Plank (Plank Beer of Germany). Murky deep orange-brown body, thin cream head. Light earthy, toasty aroma, with estery banana and clove. Cerealy body with light chocolate and spice (clove), estery and quite dry, with light sweetness and a lengthy, leafy, bitter hops finish. Good body, bite, and quaffability.
