Dinner Menu

DRAFT BEER

Cosmic Trustfall | DDH 2xNEIPA | 9.0% ABV | 5oz/8oz
$4/$7.5
Take this dank trip through the cosmos with juicy grapefruit on the nose and flavor notes of passionfruit, kumquat, and dark berries all working together in a circle of trust. Mosaic, Citra, Simcoe, & Barbe Rouge.
Moravia | Czech Dark Lager | 4.8% | 4/12 oz
$4/7.5
Smooth and rich, this malty lager has a balanced touch of chocolate and roast notes, rounded out by a hint of sweetness. We lagered it on two levels of toasted white oak, lending an earthy note that brings all of these flavors together.
July In Christmas | Pina Colada Wheat | 4.9% | 5/12 oz.
$5/7.5
As the temperature drops and daylight fades earlier each day, we wanted to drag some tropical summer vibes into the dark with us. Pineapple and coconut are best buds in this thirst-quenching crusher.
Everything Is More | Session Hazy IPA | 4.1% | 5/16 oz.
$3/7
More of everything except the alcohol. Huge peach, pineapple and orange notes burst forward from the wallop of Nelson Sauvin and Dolcita hops. Full bodied and pillowy soft, this one is a juicy hop bomb.
Well Positioned | Oak Fermented Saison | 6.8% | 5/12 oz.
$4/9
Bright citrus and clove aromas combine with delicate fruit and spice character from both the classic Belgian yeast and the American White Oak fermentation. Made with our friends at Derive to celebrate our common love for the classic Saison. Two-time silver medal winner at the Festival of Barrel-Aged Beer. Collaboration with Derive Brewing Company
Frozen In Time | Fresh Hop IPA | 6.8% | 5/12
$4/7.5
It is hop harvest time and we got our hands on that freshy fresh Citra and Krush and then pummeled this beer with them left and right. Resinous mango, orange and nectarine notes abound in this showcase of our favorite time of the year.
Radio Swan | Rye NEIPA | 6.4% | 16 oz./5 oz.
$3/6.5
NEIPA brewed with rye malt, Mosaic, Citra, and El Dorado hops, and a touch of lactose. It has dank aromatics with a touch of bright fruit. A creamy mouthfeel starts out sweet and juicy, and then rounds out to finish dry with an echo of rye complexity.
Festhalle Festbier | 5.9% | 5/16
$3/$6
A bright golden hue welcomes you to the festivities with fresh bread and cracker malt notes, balanced with a traditional noble hop character. An approachable lager suited for celebrating any occasion.
Strawberry Basil | Hefeweixen | 5% | 5/12 oz.
$4/7.5
We add strawberries and the cooling flavors of basil, then push it further into the fruity and spicy realm with a classic hefeweizen wheat strain.
Looking Out | Single Hop Wheat Lager | 5.1% | 5oz/16oz
$3/$6.5
Our friends at Segal Hop Ranch grow a unique hop with an absurd name. Anchovy hops have nothing to do with the little fishes, but rather an awesome watermelon candy note that makes this one approachable and refreshing.
Sumava | Chech Pale Lager | 4.4% | 5/16 oz.
$4/7.5
Inspired by a trip to Czechia, where we made quick friends with some brewers in Prague while enjoying (many) traditional Czech beers. The unique characteristics in this one are subtle, but the riches are there if you go looking for them. Collaboration with Pivovarský dům
Fifth Arrival Dry Hopped Lager | 5.5% | 12 oz./5 oz.
$3/5
The latest in our series of lagers featuring our favorite hops. This one is an incredibly approachable quencher of a beer. Notes of sweet peach and passionfruit play perfectly with the light cereal malt and crisp, refreshingly dry finish.
Up For Discussion | Fruited Sour Wheat Ale | 5.3% | 5/12
$4/7.5
Sometimes you just want your best buds hanging at your spot, cracking up and having a great time. Fortunately we get to do that while also making beer. A whole crew came together from all over the country to make this punchy juice bomb with a tidal wave of fresh pineapple juice and copious amounts of lime and orange zest. It is delicious. You want it. Collaboration with Mikerphone, Ology, Orchestrated Minds & Xul
Good On Ya | XPA | 4.8% | 5/16 oz.
$4/&7.5
XPA 4.8% This wee hop bomb was walloped with Australian Galaxy & Eclipse, then rounded out with a handful of Citra for good measure. Fully saturated with a crisp, lingering bitterness that keeps you coming back. Collaboration with Dankhouse
Purple Pils | Pilsner | 5% | 12oz./5oz.
$3/7
The classic, “spicy” Bohemian Saaz hops with Florentine iris (orris) root, Chamomile and Jasmine. Floral with a subtle spice note.

PRIVATE EVENTS

We have TWO separate areas to choose from to accommodate your private party needs best:

Our First Floor Private Dining Room can seat up to 30 people. It has floor-to-ceiling glass walls that look into the brewery and main bar. A sizeable exterior window provides a great street view and natural light. This space is excellent for business meetings, rehearsal dinners, baby and bridal showers, or other big gatherings. The space is entirely private with adjustable sound for music and a large screen television for presentations.

Upstairs is a much larger space. The space can accommodate up to 100 people, but its shape can also be perfect for smaller gatherings. No elevator is available, so all guests must be able to traverse the extended staircase. Once upstairs, though, guests will have all they need. This space has a personal bar and two restrooms. Overlooking the main bar, the space receives ambient energy from downstairs therefore it is not completely private. Surrounded by large windows, plenty of light makes the room feel even more open. The North side windows all fold open to bring in outside atmosphere and fresh air. 6 televisions can provide desired viewings for games or be used for slideshows. Great for Wedding Receptions, large company gatherings, or just as a unique environment for that special occasion.
