SOLID | NOT SOLID: Bull & Barrel

Honey Blueberry Ale | Fruit Beer | 4.5% ABV | 15 IBU | We use wildflower honey and blueberry’s to infuse in this American Wheat brew. The blueberry aroma and depth from the honey make this a brewery favorite.

Devil's Blood IPA | American IPA | 7% ABV | 70 IBUs | A triple hopped unfiltered IPA that boosts an overwhelming hop sensation and malty base that only the devil himself can deliver. We use an ungodly amount of hops in the kettle, fermenter, secondary fermenter. This brew is devilishly good!

Silver Medal Winner - TAP NY 2018

Coconut Cream Summer Ale - Summer Seasonal | Cream Ale | 5.2% ABV | Brewed with a corn flakes and coconut cream this beer is light and hazy in color. After one sip you’ll think you’re in the Bahamas.

Country Bumpkin Pumpkin - Fall Seasonal | Spiced Amber Ale | 5.6% ABV | A hint of Pumpkin with a ton of spice notes including Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Allspice, Ginger and Clove making this a Fall time favorite. Try it with our house made rimmer, optional.

SOLID | NOT SOLID:  Fallen Timbers Brewing Co., Prospect, CT

Milkshakes and Rollerskates | Strawberry Vanilla Milkshake DIPA | ABV: 9% | This big time creamy, summer beer was brewed with graham crackers and homemade strawberry and vanilla crumbles that were inspired by the delicious strawberry shortcake popsicles with added strawberry purée and vanilla beans. Citra and Mosaic hops, during the boil and dry hopping. The taste is reminiscent of a strawberry/vanilla milkshake you would get at an old fashion diner. (This beer contains lactose) | SUPER SOLID [and it doesn't drink like a 9%]

Peaches N’ Scream, Peach Cream Ale | ABV: 4.7% | Huge pop of peach flavor and extremely crisp! Medium to light in body and smooth. It is gold in color and with low bitterness. A true "lawnmower beer”, this Cream Ale is a crushable summertime thirst-quencher | SATISFYINGLY SOLID
