Description
You can come get to know our beers and the people behind them at either of our two locations.

Our original brewery on Lincoln Avenue is home to our Brewery Shop, where you can sample or purchase to-go, and a Tap Room, where you can stay, get a bite to eat and get to know who we are and what we do. You can now also visit our new brewery, on Balmoral Avenue, where we have a beer garden in nice weather and a completely separate food program.

Both locations offer perennials Daisy Cutter, Bodem, Pony Pilsner and Tuna plus plenty of small batch beers released weekly.

Pours pale yellow into tulip. Bright white head with medium retention recedes to sicken surface, Cracker and hay aromas. Crisp with sweet bread and hay upfront turning to mild bitter earth in the lasting finish.

[4/30/14] Draught at Mikkeller Bar in Copenhagen. Amber-colored. Lovely hoppy tropical fruits aroma with some pine needles. Rather dry flavor full of fruity and piney hops and a nice bitterness. Medium-bodied.
