PUMPKIN ALE RELEASE PARTY
OCTOBER 16 
5:30 – 7:00
We're tapping a HUGE pumpkin filled with our Pumpkin Ale! We’ll be serving pumpkin themed food and you’ll be the judge for our staff’s pumpkin carving contest.

HOUSE BELGIAN
Abbey Dubbel: Brewed in the style of a Belgian monastery, it has a distinct aroma of plum and pears. The flavor has the sweetness of dark Belgian candy sugar paired with nuances of fruit and spice. A dense, rocky head sits atop this mahogany colored ale.

Seasonal Beers on Tap as of October 1st

Dunkelweizen

OG: 1.055   Color: 17   IBU: 13.5   Alc by Vol: 4.8%
This traditional German wheat beer has a huge fruity nose of banana and cloves from the Bavarian ale yeast that marries with the notes of unsweetened chocolate and caramel from the German specialty malts.

Oktoberfest

OG: 1.063   Color: 12   IBU: 26   Alc by Vol: 6.0%
Traditional German festival beer, this full-bodied amber lager has a wonderful malty and bready aroma and a firm malt flavor, balanced with mild bitterness and a clean dry finish.

Saison

OG: 1.057   Color: 3.1   IBU: 30   Alc by Vol: 5.5%
A Belgian-style farmhouse ale. Unfiltered, bright and light-bodied, yet the yeast gives it a character that is earthy, fruity and spicy with a refreshing finish. This is the perfect beer to pair with all kinds of food.
