Path of the Wolf is the beer made to celebrate Ian's son Wolfgang's highly anticipated birth in September of 2018. It was named as such because Wolfgang means "Path of the Wolf" in German. It only seemed fitting to make a beer that was higher in alcohol, with beautiful smoked cherrywood malt and New York State maple syrup. Path is complex and smokey, with maple sweetness and fresh roasted coffee aromatics. The NYS Willamette hops from Pedersen Farms in Seneca Castle help balance all of the complementing ingredients. Some bottles were set aside for his 21st birthday in 2039. I wonder what they will taste like.......

Die Fledermaus is a tribute to our dear friend Dano from Dano's Heuriger on Seneca in Lodi, NY. It is brewed with fresh linden flower that we pick from their property along with dried chamomile flowers and lemon zest/juice. The aroma is a a fresh floral bouquet with a hint of lemon freshness and relaxing chamomile. One of our favorite beers we make and a top one to consume on a warm summer night.  

The San Francisco trend made its way all to Hector, NY. We brew an ultra dry base beer that is hopped like a New England IPA. This results in a champagne-like beer with all the hop flavor and aroma of a New England Style IPA. Perfect for the summer heat, or really anytime you are looking for something crisp, refreshing and hoppy. Hop varieties vary depending on what is fresh. Named after Tony the Golden Pony. 

Rockhound Amber Ale is made in honor of our old friend Agatha. Rockhound is a classic Amber Ale brewed with a touch of Kiln Coffee malt and biscuity Vienna, adding more complexity to what is normally a very standard beer. Well balance with a touch of caramel sweetness, we make Rockhound during the cooler months. 10% of all proceeds go to the Schuyler County Humane Society located in Montour Falls, NY. 

Kold Standard is inspired by the amazing beer brewed in Cologne, Germany. A straw-yellow hue with a long lasting head, our take on a classic has a light biscuity bread sweetness with just enough bittering hops to balance it out. There is a slight fruit ester quality from the top fermenting yeast to make this a well-rounded and delicious beer. 

This is a beer made to remember our dear friend Lena and to raise money for her son. We made this beer to be somewhere between and Ultra Light beer and our Falcon Punch IPA. The body of our hoppy blonde ale is light and crisp with just enough Lemondrop hops in the dry hopping process to give it enough bright citrus aroma to think you are drinking a Session IPA. We love this beer and love Lena. It will be made once a year in the summer.   

Every March we brew a special batch of our Irish Inspired Red Ale using imported Irish 2 row from Loughran's Family Malt. It has a deep amber hue and a wonderful lacing as you drink your glass down. The malt bill is complex with specialty grains like Kiln Coffee and Victory to contribute aromas of fresh baked bread and roasted coffee beans. Flaked oats add a creaminess to the beer while maintaining a lightness to make having two or three no problem on St. Patricks Day. Named after a classic skit in Key & Peele, we would visit O'Shag Hennesy's office if he had this beer in it! 

Fruit Salad is our ever evolving kettle sour ale that is brewed and aged on locally harvested fruit. The wort is kettle soured for up to 48 hours to reach the perfect amount of tartness and then is fruited in both the brewing and fermentation process. This is our flagship kettle sour and is available during different parts through out the year. Fruit Salad, Yummy Yummy!

Our favorite Imperial American Stout Aged on Seneca Sunrise Coffee. Fresh roasted coffee stands out when you first take a sip. Dark and roasty with loads of chocolatey goodness from the combination of roasted barley and chocolate malt. Balanced and rich with a smooth finish. No lactose was used in this beer!

SMaSH IPA w/ all German Pilsner malt and Mosaic Hops. Tropical, Citrusy with a touch of pine. Yeeyeeyeeyeeyeeyeeyeeyeeyee!

Once a year we brew with local organic red beets. The beets are roasted and added to the mash to extract the sweet and fruity beet flavor as well as the magenta color. We ferment the wort with French Saison yeast and the combination is incredible!

Our first beer from the new production facility. The Man Bun Fun is balanced with a bright hoppy lemon zest and citrus nose. It pairs perfectly with your favorite man bun!

Our dear friend Claire from up the road at Rue Claire's Lavender Farm and Artisan Chocolate supplied us with dried organic lavender to take our house saison to another level. We zest organic lemons and crack coriander seeds to be used at the end of the boil. Fragrant and floral with fresh lemon citrus and spice, it makes for a refreshing twist on a classic Belgian Style. We pair this beer with her hand made chocolates during Valentine's Day Season. Hope you get to try it because this is always a small batch beer. 

Our Groundhog Day release will always be this beer, Ned Ryerson. A Rye IPA brewed with spicy peppery rye malt, bready Vienna, and 2 Row. Ned is brewed and dry hopped with New York State Cascade and Chinook to give it classic hop flavors and aromas of fresh citrus and pine. A classic style of beer for a classic movie character. Bing!
