on draft
beer
Oud Bruin (bbl aged sour)
ABV: 5.8%
Palate: Olives-dark molasses-roasted red peppers-salted caramel
buckwheat stout
ABV: 8.0%
Roasted buckwheat from nearby Birkett Mills and an exhausting cereal mash form the backbone of this American stout. Pouring through the nitro tap adds a creaminess and body to this normally dry beer. Coffee and toffee flavors, dense tan head.
the juice pale ale
ABV: 5.5%
Local NYS and Pacific Northwest hops create a juicy, citrus experience in a west coast inspired pale ale.
Resin, wet hop, shishito pepper, less bitter than standard India pale ale but similar in hop presence.
Senor crispy
ABV: 4.2%
Very bright and crisp with a floral and citrus bouquet. A strong nod to a popular Mexican lager. A simple grain bill and a simple hop bill result in a no-nonsense, clean beverage.
Mega Dog DIPA
ABV: 8.8%
Unlike many double IPAs, Mega Dog is relatively dry and not cloyingly sweet. The high IBUs come off as surprisingly approachable. Notes of citrus and pine.
Plate: Butterscotch-slightly floral-creamy-nice framing bitterness- subdued
Spruce Tip IPA
ABV: 6.9%
Seasonal. Locally-picked spruce tips. Some hops are used early in the boil for bittering, no hops are used for flavoring so all of those flavors are from the spruce tips.
Aromatics: Resin, hoppy but subdued, slightly sweet not overly piney
Palate: Grapey sweetness, end palate strong round but 100% integrated, raspberries
rise pale ale
ABV: 5.9%
An american pale ale flavored with Citra and Mackinac hops. Dry start to finish, this beverage gives citrus fruit, a hint of pine sap and tangerine peel notes on a barely perceptible grainy malt canvas. The Mackinac hops are 100% New York State.
bad dog ipa
ABV: 6.5%
Pine and citrus dominate this straw-colored, West Coast inspired IPA that won best beer in the Finger Lakes in 2018.
bowen porter
ABV: 5.7%
Ashy, dry with notes of caramel, chocolate, dried fruit.
cider
tulsi basil
ABV: 6.3%
The Tulsi for this fan favorite was grown for us by Fellenz Family Farms. This whole plant steeped cider stands true to its name with a blend that consists of Empire, Fuji, and Ida Red apples.
Tasting notes: A pronounced earthy bouquet reminiscent of walking through a fresh rain in a forrest.
Steeped for five days this herbaceous ciders hits notes of apple peel and sweet melon throughout the body. An extremely smooth finish with a lingering aroma of tulsi throughout the palette.
Jack Straw
ABV: 8.5%
Varietals: Golden Russet, Harry Masters, Stayman, Newtown Pippin, Cox Orange Pippen, Winesap
Technical Data: Post fermentation it was aged in stainless steel for nine months, no additives or sugar just a great blend of apples straight from the mill.
Tasting Notes: honey, lemon grass, easter hay
rhode island greening
ABV: 7.3%
100% Rhode Island Greening apples. This iconic tasting cider underwent a standard fermentation that actually imploded a 500 gallon stainless steel tank. Left on yeast lees slightly longer than other varieties this refreshing crisp cider is hard to forget.
Tasting notes: Juicy green apple throughout the nose on body. Refreshingly acidic with a clean finish and mild tannins make for a great mouthfeel.
river daddy shandy
ABV: 7.1%
Sweet; refreshing, a little tart but easy drinking. Notes of honeydew, watermelon, citrus and fresh apple. The tannins make it feel like grapefruit, balancing the sweetness and tartness provides another dimension.
The French connection
field blend
Dry 6.2%
barreled aged in French oak for three years, smooth body with lingering notes of whiskey, smoke and apple peel.
