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.  

Dry Beaned with 1lb per barrel of Copper Horse Clocktower Espresso Blend from Ithaca, NY. This is an imperial milk stout heavy on flaked oats and chocolate malt. A breakfast beer for sure, or for when the fire is going on a snowy day.

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!

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. 

Hints of Citrus, Lemongrass, and Passionfruit. Heavy doses of fresh hops in the whirlpool and fermenter capture the hoppy power. White wheat makes up a quarter of the grain bill to make the beer smooth with a touch of malt sweetness on the end.

Brewed with tons of flaked oats, kiln amber, and brown malt this Belgian is smooth with notes of caramelized sugar, toasted bread, and black pepper.

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. 

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!

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. 

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! 

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.   

Falcon Punch x2. A simple grain bill carries a heavy dose of Simcoe and Amarillo hops. Big aromas of Pine, herbs and citrus, this Double IPA is hopped all the way through the brewing and fermentation process. Just enough sweetness balances out our favorite IPA we make. 

Traditional German Style Lager celebrating the beginning of Fall. Fermented with a Southern German Lager strain with a grain bill of German Pilsner and Vienna Malt. Local NYS hops for bittering and balance.

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

Our Russian Imperial Stout aged in Wheat Bourbon Barrels from Finger Lakes Distilling.
