New home-brews contributed from Jason Salemme … thanks Jason!

  • Under the Kilt Scottish Ale – A strong Scottish ale highlighting the sweet taste of the malt with just the right amount of hops. This ale quenches your thirst and goes down easy.

  • T.M.M.D. IPA – My sister-in-law devilishly said “This Makes Me Drunk” half way into her second pint. At 8% ABV it packs a punch and is full of flavor. It starts with the flavor and aroma of the hops, then the sweetness of the malt, followed by the bitterness of the hops at the finish.

  • 1, 2, 3, Floor Stout – A very smooth export stout that is easy to drink but is strong enough to put you on the floor if you are not careful.
