Bottle List
From the restaurant's menu pageWild fermented and Barrel-aged beers. All beers listed are available to be enjoyed by the bottle in the taproom. A rotating selection from this list is available by the glass ($4.5 / 0.15L, $7.5 / 0.25L) – see the menu or ask your server for today’s offering. Our barrel program is inspired by old world technique and new world style. It’s a traditional, “labour-of-love” method of aging beer. Part of the uniqueness of our program is that we use our own wild yeast cultures which have been developed and maintained over the years. Bottles may be purchased to take home - ask your server for pricing and availability.
