OUR BOTTLED BEERS

Lagers
Lagers use bottom-fermenting yeasts that fall to the bottom of the vessel during fermentation. This fermentation is done at cooler
temperatures, around 41 - 48 degrees F, with maturation at or close to 32 degrees F. The result is a clean, well-rounded beer from
the yeasts working more slowly and thoroughly through the malt sugars.

Pilsner
Straw to light gold, brilliant to very clear. Rich, complex maltiness combined with a pronounced yet soft and rounded bitterness and flavor
from the hops. Bitterness is prominent but never harsh, and does not linger. The aftertaste is balanced between malt and hops. Clean and
are incredibly smooth and crisp.

Premium Lager
A beer that straddles between the mainstream Pale Lager and Pilsner. Not all beers that call themselves Premium Lager are, but those that
are will typically have a deep gold to light bronze color, and distinct influence of malt and hops. They should be free of adjuncts and will
have a softer carbonation than Pale Lager or Classic German Pilsner. Overall accent will be malty-to-balanced. Most often the product of a
microbrewery or brewpub, but macrobreweries can make this style if they jack up the hops a bit and make it all-malt.

Stiegl Goldbru (Salzburg, AUT) an incomparably refreshing lager....4.9% ABV $6

Helles Lager
When the golden and clean lagers of Plzen (Bohemia) became all the rage in the mid-1800's, Mnchen brewers feared that Germans would
start drinking the Czech beer vs. their own. Munich Helles Lager was their answer to meet the demand. A bit more malty, they often share
the same spicy hop characters of Czech Pils, but are a bit more subdued and in balance with malts. "Helles" is German for "bright."

Aecht Schlenkerla Helles (Bamberg, GER) crisp w/subtle smokiness without using any smoke malt.....4.3% ABV $9
Weihenstephaner Original (Freising, GER) the long lager time makes this beer full of flavorful beer enjoyment...5.1% ABV $5

Mrzen
A traditional pale lager, the origins of which go back to at least the 17th century. Brewed at the end of the brewing season in March (Mrz in
German), it was a stronger beer intended to last through the summer months. The German style is most often characterized by a medium to
full body, a malty flavor balance, a wide range of colors, and a clean dry finish, though wide variations are notable amongst German breweries
marketing Mrzen. Originally these would have been dark lagers, but from 1872 a strong March brewed version of an amber-red Vienna lager
made by Josef Sedlmayr became the favourite Oktoberfestbier.

Ales
Ales are brewed using top-fermenting yeasts, meaning the yeast rises to the top of the brewing vessel during fermentation. More
often than not, this is also done at higher temperatures than Lagers, (60-75 degrees F), and needs less time for maturation. Ales
are characterized by their subtlety, complexity, and fruity/floral flavors and aromas.

flavor, and a smooth drinkability due to their cold temperature maturation. You may note a hoppy bitterness in the finish.

that was selected to thrive at the cool end of normal ale fermentation temperatures.

Anchor Steam (San Francisco, CA) deep amber color, thick creamy head, & a rich flavor, a true classic!.......................4.9% ABV $5

mixed with ale strains.

Ska True Blonde (Durango, CO) a crisp medium bodied ale brewed w/ honey from durangos honeyville bees........5.3% ABV $5

Amber
A style without definition, amber ales range from bland, vaguely caramelly beers to products with a fairly healthy malt and hop balance.

assertive hop rate.

Small Beer
The tradition of brewing two distinct beers from one mash has existed for thousands of years, and for centuries the term "small beer" was used
in English to describe the lighter and weaker second beer. Historically an ale brewed for peasants, laborers and children, the modern small beer
is made by re-using the mash intended for a strong ale (usually a barleywine style ale) to produce a lighter bodied, biscuit-dry ale with relatively
low alcohol and similar to what modern brewers call a "bitter."

Anchor Small Beer (San Francisco, CA) made from the second runnings of anchors barleywine, old foghorn...3.3% ABV $9

Pale Ale
This style originated in 19th Century Burton, England, along the River Trent. Despite their name, Pale Ales are actually golden to amber in

Porter
In England, the brewers of brown ales started brewing a drink more suited to modern tastes, which they called Entire or Intire Butt, possibly
as a reference to the longer aging process compared to the quick-and-dirty Brown Ale of the day. This Entire then grew to be called Porter,
probably as a reference to its popularity among Londons street-market workers.The black or chocolate malt gives the porter its dark brown
color. Porters are well hopped, heavily malted, medium-bodied beer. Porters can be sweet.

from sweet to dry.

and often exceed 7% by volume.

Barrel Aged Beer

A wood- or barrel-aged beer is any lager, ale or hybrid beer, either a traditional style or a unique experimental beer that has been aged
for a period of time in a wooden barrel or in contact with wood. This beer is aged with the intention of imparting the particularly
unique character of the wood and/or what has previously been in the barrel. New wood character can be characterized as a complex
blend of vanillia and/or other unique wood character, but wood aged is not necessarily synonymous with imparting wood-flavors. Used
sherry, rum, bourbon, scotch, port, wine and other barrels are often used, imparting complexity and uniqueness to beer.

delicious brew. While it still can be tough to find in some parts of the country, the style has been slowly gaining in popularity over the last
few years. Its unique combination of flavors makes it a great beer to enjoy during the spring or any time of the year.

Belgian & Belgian-Style Ales

The Belgians have taken the art of brewing to a level unto themselves. From the Trappist brews (a designation allowed to only
the 8 Trappist monasteries), to Abbey beers (the non-Trappist, trappist beers) to their wheat beers, their Lambics & beyond. The
brews below are artisanal masterpieces, and obviously deserve a class of their own.

spicy, peppery, sometimes clove-like phenols. Esters are often reminiscent of citrus fruits such as oranges, but may sometimes have a slight
banana character. A low yet distinctive spicy, floral, sometimes perfumy hop character is usually found. Alcohols are soft, spicy and low in
intensity.

Trappist Beers
While not considered a style of beer, the term Authentic Trappist Beer is a designation of the brewery of origin. These beers are brewed
within the walls of eight Trappist monasteries (six in Belgium, one in the Netherlands & one in Austria) under control and responsibility of
the community of monks and whose revenue is devoted to social service. There are four rules of the International Trappist Association that
must be observed: The product must be made within the walls of a Trappist abbey or in an immediate vicinity, the equipment necessary to the
production must clearly express a dependency in regard to the monastery, the product must be made by or under the supervision of the
monastery community & the largest part of the profit must be spent on social work and to better the community.

Belgian Brown Ale

Also called Brune, or Bruin (not to be confused with Flander Oud Bruin), Belgian Brown Ale consists of a range of dark, low to moderate
alcohol Belgian Abbey-style beers. They may be dry or sweet, but either way malt and yeast flavors are usually dominant; they usually lack the
complex alcohol and spice flavors of a Dubbel, but the styles are each flexible enough that there is some overlap between them.

Belgian Stout
Belgian Stout is one of those styles that has seen increasing popularity of late as more brewers, particularly American brewers, have turned
their attention to brewing this style. Which is interesting, because it is a style that has very little lineage in Belgium itself. What is typical
with Belgian yeast strains, the actual flavors and aromas that they produce in the final beer can be really variable brewer to brewer. So the
style becomes a bit of a grab bag, sufficiently loosely defined that the brewer can take it and turn it into something all their own. Which is
the real spirit of Belgian brewing in the first place.

Brewery Vivant Undertaker (Grand Rapids, MI) roasted coffee, dark chocolate, & hints of cherries...6.7% ABV $8

Saison
Saison (French, "season") is the name originally given to refreshing, low-alcohol pale ales brewed seasonally in farmhouses in Wallonia, the
French-speaking region of Belgium, to refresh farm workers during harvest season. Modern-day saisons are also brewed in other countries,
particularly USA, and are generally bottle conditioned, with an average range of 5 to 8% abv, though saisons at the more traditional 3.5%
strength can still be found. This is a very complex style; many are very fruity in the aroma and flavor. Look for earthy yeast tones, mild to
moderate tartness. Lots of spice and with a medium bitterness. They tend to be semi-dry with many only having touch of sweetness.

Sour/ Wild Ale

Beers that are introduced to wild yeast or bacteria, such as: Brettanomyces, Pediococcus or Lactobacillus. This introduction may occur
from oak barrels that have been previously inoculated, pitched into the beer, or gained from various sour mash techniques. Regardless of
which and how, these little creatures often leave a funky calling card that can be quite strange, interesting, and pleasing to many.

Lambic
-13-

Lembeek, Belgium is the birthplace of the use of wild yeasts and spontaneous fermentation. Brewers there still traditionally cool their brews
in the attic of the brewhouse overnight with the windows open, to invite wild yeasts to visit their brew. The classics are tart and citric, and
use the Brettanomyces yeast that imparts its horse blanket aroma and flavor. Many add fruit once fermentation has begun to sweeten the
brew, creating an especially tasty beer.

Fruit Beer
A generic form of flavored beer, some breweries actually use real fruit or veggies, though most use an extract, syrup or processed flavor to give
the effect of a particular fruit or vegetable. Usually ales, but with not much ale character to them and commonly unbalanced. Malt flavor is
typically hidden with a low hop bitterness to allow the fruit or vegetable to dominate.

Stiegl Radler (Salzburg, AUT) malt sweetness w/ a tart fruity, grapefruit taste. nice, light, & delicious 2.5% ABV $6

Non-Alcoholic
Most brands of non-alcoholic beer are about .5% alcohol. The reason non-alcoholic beer contains alcohol is because it starts its life as regular
beer in most cases. The alcohol is removed after the brewing process has ended. This is accomplished through evaporation, which basically
means cooking the beer until most of the alcohol is gone, then bottling the results.

Please ask your server or bartender for selections..................................................................................................$ Prices will vary

Mead
Mead is a fermented beverage made from honey. It generally has a higher alcohol content than beer, usually 10%-18%. Mead is made by
adding water to honey, leaving an unfermented mixture of two to four pounds of honey per gallon of mead, dictated by whether the
meadmaker wants a dry or sweet mead, or somewhere in between. Spices are frequently, but not always, used.

Gluten-Free
For beer lovers with celiac disease, also called gluten intolerance, the gluten that appears in most common brewing grains, including barley,
wheat, and rye, can make a glass of beer a dangerous proposition. A beer made from fermentable sugars, grains and converted carbohydrates.
May or may not contain malted grains that do not contain gluten. Luckily, there are grains that don't contain gluten, and they can be used to
make beer as well. Some celiac sufferers have started homebrewing simply so that they could have beer again, and some commercial breweries
have also started creating low-gluten beer or gluten-free beer for this growing market.

Cider
-14-

Made from fermented juice, cider comes in a number of varieties. English cider is dry, w/ fruity, tannic qualities & low carbonation.
Normandy is another major cider-producing region, w/ a sweeter, more effervescent, very complex style. Ciders produced elsewhere are often
sweet, simple beverages for mass consumption, though there are some good English-style ciders in North America. For at least 2,000 years,
humans have been making apple cider wherever they could grow the fruit. In America between 1650 and 1850, almost every Yankee farmer
had a basement full of cider barrels, and hard cider was on the table for each meal. In most apple-growing regions of the world today, the term
cider means a beverage made from the juice of milled apples that has been collected in large barrels and fermented with yeast, like grape
wines.
