Sides
Beverages
Bhavana Beer To Go
- Bloom : Dry Cardamom Tripel$14.00+
Harkening back to Patrick's time in Kerala, India, this boundary-pushing, Belgian-inspired Tripel begins with the unique aroma of green cardamom and ends with just a touch of sweetness. Each sip is a shifting experience, as its spicy first impression unfolds to reveal fruity, floral undertones. (8.1%)
- Boots 2024$13.00
- Bounty: Barrel Aged Saison Sour Ale$15.00
Like natural champagne, this wild beer begins with familiar tropical fruit flavors but opens to something deeper and more redolent: summer-ripe peaches, melon, then oak. Aged for nine months in red and white wine barrels, then dry-hopped with Citra and Idaho 7, it is mildly sour with a delicate body.
- Brett Saison: Solera Farmhouse Ale$15.00+
The first beer to benefit from our wild-yeasted, white oak foeder, this pungent saison is an attempt at letting go. Solera aged for over a year, it began as our bright and tangy Till saison, turning funky, oaky, and ever-so-dry, with a rough, champagne-like effervescence.
- Brisk : Crisp & Dry Pilsner$10.00+
The world’s most popular style is built, primarily, from Pilsen malt and Saaz hops: two of the lightest and cleanest beer ingredients. Our version sets itself apart with two important distinctions: it’s hopped with Crystal for a nuanced aroma and has just a touch of oats to build its body. (4.2%)
- Cinder : Black IPA$15.00
- Dig: American Dry Stout$10.00+
The chocolate character in this complex stout comes entirely from black patent and chocolate malts. Unusually dry and fruity for the style, it pairs the earthy, peppery flavor of rye with the deep, dark flavors of dried fruit. (6.4%) ABV
- Elymus: Ancient Grain Wine Barrel-Aged Farmhouse Ale$10.00
Grain-forward flavors form the bright, bold heart of this lightly acidic mixed culture saison. Slow fermented in neutral wine barrels with a blend of our two house sour cultures, it began with 100 pounds of rye bread, rye malt, spelt, and wheat. (6.2%)
- Festbier: German Lager$13.00
- Gift Box Set$30.00
- Glean: Mango Peppercorn Saison$10.00+
A subtle homage to Indian street food, this crisp, dry farmhouse ale defies the typical sweetness of fruit beers. Dried mango, added in fermentation, lends a tropical character to balance its bright spice. Patrick first encountered chili-dusted mangoes while traveling with the Peace Corps and spent years refining this recipe to match his memory. (6.4%)
- Grove: Sunny, Citrusy Double IPA$14.00+
Brewed with a profusion of hops, Grove will take you on a long walk through a citrus orchard, dripping with clementine, grapefruit, and peaches. Its restrained upfront bitterness, like pith and peel, opens to reveal its juicy, tropical flavors: subtle, delicate, and surprisingly round. (8%)
- Hope : Fruited Sour Ale$13.00
- Larkspur 2021: Bière de Champagne$14.00
Brewed each year in early March, this bright and effervescent bière de champagne slow-fermented for nearly eight months. Blended with our house sour culture, it has big, joyful bubbles, a mischievous spirit, and quiet tones of peach, pear, and citrus. (10.5%)
- Larkspur 2023: Bière de Champagne$15.00+
Brewed each year in early March, this bright and effervescent bière de champagne slow-fermented for nearly eight months. Blended with our house sour culture, it has big, joyful bubbles, a mischievous spirit, and quiet tones of peach, pear, and citrus. (10.5%)
- Palm: India Pale Ale$15.00Out of stock
- Petal: Rosé Ale$12.00+Out of stock
Delicate and bright, this rosé-inspired beer arranges a bouquet of hibiscus and rose hips with the tart fruit character of fresh raspberries and grapefruit in balance.
- Piglette : Barrel-Aged Grisette$10.00+
Subtly tart and easy to drink, Piglette is our signature wood-touched grisette: a low alcohol table beer blended with one perfect barrel of our house golden sour. It ends with a little Brettanomyces funk and the gentle complexity of our saison yeast. (4.2%)
- Pithy: Vic Secret IPA$13.00Out of stock
Pithy is our conscise IPA, featuring Vic Secret hops. You'll find them soft and bitter as orange pith, with just a touch of pine.
- Plow: Gracious Pale Ale$10.00+
Our take on America’s favorite craft beer style is hopped with Amarillo, Mosaic, and Saaz. Special B and Biscuit malts give it an almost-amber hue and nutty, malt undertone. Bursting with white peaches, melon and Asian pear, it has a crisp but not-so-bitter finish.
- Pulp: Galaxy Hopped Double IPA$15.00
- Rosecomb : Golden Ale$13.00
- Rosette '24: Rose Ale$19.00+
- Rosette 2022: Rosé Ale$11.00+
This blushing, floral ale is modeled after sparkling French rosés. Hibiscus and rose hips lend soft aromatics to balance it's rough bubbles and clean, dry finish. Aged over tart cherries, grapefruit zest, and raspberries, then blended with just a touch of our house sour culture, it takes us more than nine months to make.
- Saison Blanc 2021: Farmhouse Ale$12.00+Out of stock
Born six months ago as our Till saison, this sharp and effervescent ale was aged in single-use white wine barrels to mimic the flavors of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. The barrels enhance its tangy, tropical overtones, adding aromatic layers of wood and fresh cut grass. (6.6%)
- Shade: Black Lager$12.00+
- Sow: Light & Easy Abbey Single$10.00+
Bright and crisp, this ultra light beer is hopped with a single variety: the beloved Czech Saaz. One of the world’s four noble hops, Saaz is essential to many historical styles (most notably, the Pilsner). You’ll find it only slightly bitter with a mild, earthy flavor and faintly herbal nose. (4.2%)
- Sprout: Sneaky Fig Dubbel$12.00+
Fig puree gives this refreshing Dubbel a tricky, sweet aroma and amber hue that belie its clean, dry finish. Oats in the mash help build its silken body and distinguish it from traditional Dubbels. (7.6%)
- Steep: Earl Gray Porter$15.00
- Till: Bright & Tangy Farmhouse Ale$10.00+
Traditionally brewed by farmers in the Wallonia Valley, saisons were made to sustain farmhands through the summer and harvest seasons. Our signature saison, Till builds its intricate, slightly tangy flavor from our house yeast, light malts, Target, Hallertau and Crystal hops. (4.8%)
- Trace: Imperial Stout$15.00
- Vase: West Coast IPA$12.00+
Intentionally off-trend, this pine-forward, dank, and transparent IPA is a welcome change of pace from our brewers. A simple malt bill with a touch of crystal malt defines it's clean and clear straw golden color while traditional West Coast hops - Amarillo, Simcoe, and Cascade - Lend resinous, citrusy flavors, with a distinctly dry finish.
- Wilt : Belgium Quad$17.00
- Yield: Luscious Little Session IPA$11.00+
Session ales were historically intended for long, afternoon drinking sessions, without the obvious ill effects of high alcohol. Yield combines that low ABV with the multifaceted hop character of an IPA. A honeyed backbone, from Pilsen malt, underpins its soft flavors of pine and citrus. (4.5%)
