THE BEER: FROM FIELD TO PINT

At Dancing Grain Farm Brewery (DGFB), we emphasize the importance of sustainable farming to generate healthy crops that make great beer! DGFB’s beer recipes are built on the bounty we harvest straight from our fields. Due to the seasonality of ingredients, DGFB’s beer list is constantly changing. Stop by and taste what makes us different, from our ground-to-your-glass!

OUR BREWS

HAY DAY

American Craft Lager  | 5.3% ABV

Hay Day will make its return to draft and cans on 10/24.

“Hay Day” isn’t just a beer; it’s a golden ticket to your happy place. Pour yourself a pint of this American Craft Lager, and you’ll feel like you’ve just hit the hay in the most refreshing way possible. With a crisp, straw-colored pour, it’s basically like sipping on liquid sunshine—if sunshine came with a frothy head and no risk of sunburn.

This brew is all about those easygoing vibes, kind of like the straw in our fields—there to keep things breezy and laid-back. So, whether you’re kicking back on the porch or hosting an impromptu backyard shindig, Hay Day is your go-to. It’s light, it’s bright, and it’s ready to make every day a hay day. Sip, relax, and remember: life’s too short to be too serious—unless you’re talking about your beer, of course! Available on draft and in 4-packs.

CROP TOP

Hazy IPA | 6.4% ABV

This vibrant IPA is packed with bold, hoppy flavors and a crisp finish that’s perfect for any occasion. Brewed with our finest farm-grown ingredients, Crop Top IPA delivers a delightful balance of citrus and pine notes, with a touch of malt sweetness. At 6.5% ABV, it’s the ideal brew for those who appreciate a flavorful, refreshing beer.

Crop Top pours a bright hazy yellow with a stiff white head. Expect big tropical aromas of mango, citrus zest, and the signature peach ring candies! Finely finished IPA, rare and glorious! Brewed with DG’s 2-row Violetta malting barley and 100% NYS Hops! We’re proud to be the only upstate NY Brewery to support NYS Farm families with every single one of our brews! Available on draft and in 4-packs.

OPUS 67

Vienna Lager | 5.0% ABV

We named this brew after Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 – one of the most influential pieces of music ever written. Though Beethoven was mostly deaf when he composed it, his Symphony No. 5 captures the essence of hearing the world around him.

Much like DG’s early days, the symphony takes us from a stormy, turbulent C minor to a triumphant C major finale. Beethoven himself said, “Joy follows sorrow, sunshine follows rain.”

Originally dedicated to Napoleon, the symphony was later retitled in memory of a “great man” after Napoleon declared himself emperor in 1804.

Turn up the fire pits for Opus 67, a Vienna Lager as rich and complex as the symphony it’s named after. It pours a light amber with notes of toasted bread, chocolate, and noble hop bitterness, finishing slightly dry with a creamy mouthfeel—perfect for fireside sipping.

TOTAL DANKNESS

100% NYS DIPA | 8.0% ABV

Crafted with love and brewed with 100% NYS grown ingredients, this Double IPA is a testament to innovation and dedication. We’ve shattered expectations by using our very own 100% estate-grown malt barley and 100% NYS hops, proving that greatness knows no bounds.

They said it couldn’t be done, but we thrive on turning doubt into triumph! And here it is, folks – a masterpiece of flavor and aroma. Picture this: a burst of HUGE orange-juicy goodness with every sip, complemented by a piney, resiny aroma that’ll transport you to hop heaven.

But heed this warning: Total Dankness isn’t for the faint-hearted. With an ABV of 8%, it goes down like a glass of juicy juice – so proceed with caution!
Get ready to experience the vibrant hues of bright yellow-orange, topped with a stiff, snowy white head – a visual treat that promises an unforgettable tasting journey.

FIELD DAY

Experimental Kölsch | 5.3% ABV

Field Day isn’t your typical Kölsch—it’s our first no-hop addition brew, packed with unique aroma and flavor. How? With yarrow.

Last summer, we clipped, propagated, dried, and vacuum-sealed yarrow from our fields to use in this special brew. This sustainable, natural, and intentional ingredient not only adds the necessary bitterness but also imparts a slightly sweet, licorice-like note and gentle floral flavors.

Why yarrow? Because our mission is to preserve our family farm using sustainable practices. By supporting native species like yarrow, we combine traditional agriculture with innovative brewing. Plus, yarrow is both beautiful and delicious—a major bonus!

SUNFLOWER SESSIONS

Session IPA | 4.5% ABV

Our Sunflower Session IPA is a light and refreshing hop-forward beer, perfect for enjoying under the golden glow of our sunflower fields. Staying true to the Session IPA style, this brew offers the bold aroma and flavor of a traditional IPA, but with a lower alcohol content, making it a go-to choice for those who want to sip all day long without the buzz catching up too quickly.

Brewed with a bright bouquet of citrus and floral hops, this beer bursts with aromas of freshly zested lemon, grapefruit, and hints of pine—reminiscent of a sunny stroll through a field of blooms. The bitterness is balanced by a subtle malt backbone, allowing the hop character to truly shine while keeping the body crisp and light.

The finish is clean and dry, with just enough bitterness to keep you coming back for more. Whether you’re basking in the glow of our sunflowers or relaxing after a long day in the fields, the Sunflower Session IPA is a refreshing reward you’ll want to reach for again and again.

FARMER’S TAN

California Common | 5.4% ABV

Returning the third week of September.  Meet the latest addition to our summer lineup at Dancing Grain Farm Brewery: Farmer’s Tan! This California Common style beer uses a unique lager yeast strain that ferments at warmer temperatures, giving you the crispness of a lager with the fruity notes of an ale.

Pouring a light amber with a slightly dry, acidic finish, Farmer’s Tan is the perfect refreshing summer brew at 5.4% ABV. Enjoy the best of both worlds with this hybrid beer style—ideal for sunny days and warm nights.

Come and taste the summer with us at Dancing Grain!

SPINNING JENNY

Pale Ale | 5.5% ABV

Returning the third week in September.  Spinning Jenny is a beautifully balanced Pale Ale with a vibrant copper hue and a crisp, clear appearance. This beer showcases a harmonious blend of malt and hop character, offering a subtle malt sweetness paired with a refreshing bitterness and floral, citrusy hop notes.

With a medium body and a smooth, clean finish, Spinning Jenny is perfect for any occasion. At 5.5% ABV, it’s the ideal brew to enjoy with friends or to unwind after a long day. Pair it with grilled meats, spicy dishes, or a fresh salad for an unbeatable taste experience. Spinning Jenny is brewed with Dancing Grain’s 2-row Violetta malting barley, planting in September, harvested in July, and malted in February!

GAMBLER’S LOVE

Blonde Ale with Chamomile | 5.0% ABV

KISS MY PEACH

Kettle Sour with Peaches | 6.5%

Pucker up, buttercup, because Kiss My Peach is back, and it’s juicier than a ripe peach on a hot summer’s day! No deceiving here—we went all the way, tossing over 600 lbs of the juiciest, most irresistible peaches from @bowman_orchards in Rexford, NY, into this fully fresh-fruited kettle sour. We’re talking full-on, tongue-tingling, peachy perfection, with a splash of creamy lactose to keep things extra smooth.

With a 4.27 rating on Untappd, it’s no surprise this brew is the peach everyone wants to take home! Available on draft and in cans, but our CSA members get first crack at those 4-packs—because, baby, the early bird gets the peach! #CSAperks

So, don’t let summer slip away without getting your hands on this tart, tantalizing brew. Sip it while the sun’s still high, the temps are sizzling, and our sunflowers are flaunting their golden petals. Cheers to squeezing out every last drop of summer—one peachy sip at a time! 🌞🍺

Unwind with our Out of Office Brown Ale, a robust brew with an inviting 6.0% ABV. This ale boasts a rich, malty character with a harmonious blend of roasted nuts, caramel, and chocolate.

VALKYRIE’S BREWTIFUL BLONDE

Golden Stout | 6.0% ABV

Behold! Introducing the Valkyrie’s Brewtiful Blonde Stout, 6.0%, forged in the fires of collaboration with our friends at @kickstartcoffeeco in Schuylerville. This elixir of the gods shatters the mold of the dark and brooding stouts, emerging with a golden glow yet retaining all the depth and richness that would make even Odin raise his horn in approval.

We’ve summoned the essence of over 10 pounds of Ugandan coffee beans, roasted to a warrior’s perfection by the skilled folks at @kickstartcoffeeco – the result? A potion of complexity and power, with flavors as rich as a dragon’s hoard, yet as smooth as a shield maiden’s song.

Though it gleams like the hair of Sif, do not be deceived! This stout boasts a bold coffee aroma, a creamy texture worthy of the finest mead, and whispers of chocolate that echo the traditional stouts of old—only this time, with a twist that even Loki couldn’t have conjured.

This brew defies all expectations and must be quaffed to be fully appreciated. The Valkyrie’s Brewtiful Blonde Stout is now available—come, brave souls, and taste the magic in every sip! Skål!
