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.

Can thanks to Kyle. Pours a clear deep gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has light pine, some onion, grass and a bit of light fruits coming through. Flavor has grass and light fruit with onion and pine growing.

Can. Black like motor oil or soy sauce with a dark brown lace. Big nose of vanilla and bourbon, some oak, coconut, marshmallow, a bit of coffee. Not as thick or sweet as imagined, but still sweet vanilla and coconut and a marshmallow vibe. Decently balanced for being so big, finishing drier than expected. Fun.

American Sardine Bar: pours light orange with a beige head. Aroma is loads of citrus, rounded fruitiness. Taste is sweet, light bitterness. Pleasant.

Heavy body, pineapple chunks, boozy. Not as good as the Union westie from last night.

This is ace.

Congrats to Luis Enrique and his rip roaring PSG on winning the Champions League. Ten years since his last as a coach.

Massive amounts of coffee, some chocolate sauce, barrel, oak, wood, coconut, vanilla and hints of toffee caramely fudge. Awesome.
