IPA's
- Equilibrium Brewery- Light At The End Of The Tunnel$8.00
IPA - New England / Hazy 6.8%ABV Light At The End of The Tunnel (IPA) uses Photon as its inspiration with some modifications and upgrades, including an all Survivable hop blend for the whirlpool and a large dose of Lupomax Citra in addition to a supersized Photon hop bill. Aromas and flavors of soft pineapple, navel orange, stone fruit, EQ’s rainbow melon, and lime juice radiate with a touch of pine resin at the finish, making it an easy drinker with tons of flavor.
- Equilibrium Brewing- Taba Nelson$18.00
Farmhouse Ale - Saison 6%ABV TABA Nelson is our Farmhouse IPA dry hopped with our hand selected Nelson Sauvin hops from Hop Revolution. TABA is our rotating series that explores hop interaction with our There and Back Again cultures. This Farmhouse IPA is a collaborative effort with our dear friend Dr. Jason Rodriguez. We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to create a reproducible process that produces a beautiful and elegant farmhouse ale that is dry, slightly tart, full of flavor, and super drinkable. The interplay of our slow souring process, its respective microorganisms, hops, bitterness, gravity manipulation, and minerality have been through countless iterations over the years. We took our There and Back Again cultures and allowed it ferment over several months before dry hopping it with Nelson. We then bottle conditioned it for several months prior to today’s release.
- Jester King Brewery- Wytchmaker$9.00
IPA - Rye 6.8%ABV First released at Jester King in October of 2010, Wytchmaker is brewed with Texas-grown San Jacinto Two Row and Wildfire Pale Malt from TexMalt, malted Rye, and oats. It's kettle hopped with Citra and El Dorado and dry hopped with Simcoe, Amarillo, Citra, and Mosaic Cryo. We fermented it in stainless steel with Imperial A38 Juice yeast.
- Kings County Brewers Collective- Venomous Villans$7.00
IPA - American 6.9%ABV Pours bright, copper-gold in the glass with rocky white foam. Notes of ripe stone fruit, pithy tangerine, grapefruit bitters, and earthy resin. Brewed with an abundance of our hand-selected Mosaic, Amarillo, Simcoe, Centennial & Cascade. Explosive flavor, punchy bitterness, and a snappy finish. It’s always more fun to play the Villain…
- Meier's Creek Brewing Co- Cosmic Gumbo$7.00
IPA - New England / Hazy 6.5%ABV
- The Alchemist- Focal Banger$8.00
IPA- American 7%ABV American IPA with Citra & Mosaic hops.
- The Alchemist- Heady Topper$8.00Out of stock
IPA- Imperial/Double 8%ABV We love hops – that’s why our flagship Double IPA, Heady Topper, is packed full of them. Heady Topper was designed to showcase the complex flavors and aromas these flowers produce. The Alchemist has been brewing Heady Topper since 2003. This Double IPA is not intended to be the strongest or most bitter DIPA. It is brewed to give you wave after wave of hop flavor without any astringent bitterness. We brew Heady Topper with a proprietary blend of six hops – each imparting its own unique flavor and aroma. Take a big sip of Heady and see what hop flavors you can pick out. Orange? Tropical Fruit? Pink Grapefruit? Pine? Spice? There is just enough malt to give this beer some backbone, but not enough to take the hops away from the center stage.

Lagers/Pilsners/Wheats
- Equilibrium Brewing- Einstein's Little Favorite$8.00
Pale Ale- American 4.8%ABV Einstein’s Little Favorite is a pale ale form of a beer we love, Einsteins Favorite. First tested for Energy Evolution Day in 2019, we had a fun idea to treat a keg and mimic what was said to be Albert Einstein’s favorite dessert, Sticky Orange Cake. From there we made a bigger batch in Triple Form. For Energy Evolution 2020, we wanted to try a weeknight friendly version.
- Jack's Abby Craft Lagers- Blood Orange Wheat$5.00

Stouts/Browns/Porters
- Equilibrium Brewery- Alfajores$18.00
Stout - Imperial / Double Pastry 11%ABV Alfajores are popular South American dessert typically made with soft cookies pressed together with a sweet gooey filling in the middle. To emulate this classic, we conditioned a big base stout on Honey, Almonds, Hazelnuts, Coconut, and Madagascar Vanilla. Alfajores pours pitch black with a frothy tan head. Decadent notes and flavors of fudge brownie, almond shortbread cookie dough, Ferrero Rocher Hazelnut chocolates drizzled with honey, and coconut mudpie come together in a creamy and velvety finish with the perfect amount of honey to offset the chocolate malts. This beer is a fun one and is literally liquid dessert in a glass.
- Firestone Walker Brewing Co- Parabola (2023)$18.00
Stout - Russian Imperial 13.5%ABV Aged for a year in an equal combination of eight-year-old Blanton’s bourbon and 12-year-old Weller wheated whiskey barrels, Parabola is always a beast of a beer. Intense flavors of black cherry, dark chocolate, vanilla, and roast coffee are accentuated with fine notes of cereal grain from wheated whiskey barrels, while the bourbon barrels impart their classic notes of toasted coconut and cocoa nibs.

Three types of dried peppers and cinnamon create spicy notes, backed by roasted flavors from 40 pounds of whole bean coffee, chocolate from cacao, and a delicate sweetness from vanilla beans and milk sugar. Perfect for a fire side.
- Tröegs Independent Brewing- Mad Elf$8.00
Belgian Strong Dark Ale 11%ABV It's time! The Mad Elf is here with its nuanced blend of sweet and tart cherries, Pennsylvania honey, chocolate malt and a hint of mischief. The essence of this legendary holiday ale, along with its ruby red glow, is born from five varieties of tree-ripened cherries. Local wildflower honey sweetens the celebration, and a spicy Belgian yeast adds subtle notes of cinnamon, clove and allspice. It’s not the holidays until you’ve had your first Mad Elf.
