What’s new- the Sax is back!

Beer Hall, In the BreweryLeave a comment

Happy holidays everyone! This week we’re celebrating the return of the Saxonator, a dunkles dopplebock, in bottles and on draft. Saxonator is dark strong interpretation of a double bock. Full bodied with a raisiny, dark fruit, slightly roasted and chewy malt character. Lagered for two months, a smooth malt character balances the high ABV of this strong beer. Perfect for keeping you warm on these cold (ish) winter nights!

The Beer Hall & Kitchen will be CLOSED on Christmas day and will have limited hours on Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve hours are as follows: kitchen and bar 11:30-3, retail 11:30-6

What’s New- Hammerheads delight!

Beer Hall, In the BreweryLeave a comment

This is a big week for Beer Hall releases! First off- a fresh batch of Calyptra, our session IPL hits the taps. 3x Dry Hopped Hoponius Union will be back on tap this week as well, this time hopped with Sorachi Ace and Calypso.

Then, the first of our newest Barrel-Aged Framinghammer variants arrives- the Italiano, bourbon barrel aged with star anise, espresso, and lemon zest. This beer is draft only, so come grab a snifter soon. If that’s a little too strong for you, Nitro Coffee Smoke & Dagger will make an appearance this week.

If you’re not a hophead or a hammerhead, you can get pumped about a new draft-only Sour Barrel Project appearing on tap as lines open.
