FIELD DAY

Experimental Kölsch | 5.3% ABV

Field Day isn’t your average Kölsch—it’s our first brew made without hops, and it’s bursting with bold aroma and flavor thanks to one very special ingredient: yarrow.

Last summer, we harvested, propagated, dried, and vacuum-sealed this native plant right from our fields to craft something truly unique. Yarrow provides the bitterness a Kölsch needs, along with a subtle sweetness, floral notes, and a hint of licorice.

Why yarrow? Because we’re committed to preserving our family farm through sustainable practices. Supporting native species like yarrow lets us marry commercial agriculture with environmentally mindful brewing. Plus, it’s as stunning as it is tasty. Available on draft and in 4-packs starting 6/22.

SPINNING JENNY

Returning the first week in June.  Spinning Jenny is a beautifully balanced Pale Ale with a vibrant copper hue and a crisp, clear appearance.

Pair it with grilled meats, spicy dishes, or a fresh salad for an unbeatable taste experience.

FARMER’S DAUGHTER

Double Dry Hopped Farmhouse | 4.0% ABV

Back on tap 7/2! We’re excited to release the next batch of Farmer’s Daughter, an experimental wild ale with a true farm-to-glass soul. This version marks a milestone—our first mixed culture fermentation, combining wild yeast propagated from our soft red wheat and barley with a cone-to-cone transfer from our Crop TOP IPA. The result is a juicy, fruity, and refreshingly wild brew that’s more sessionable than a full-bodied IPA, yet finishes clean and dry.

Brewed with our estate-grown Hudson NY barley and hopped with NY Triumph and Cascade Hops, this beer delivers bright citrus and stone fruit character layered with the rustic complexity of the wild culture. Curious drinkers and wild ale fans alike will find something new in this batch—Farmer’s Daughter is bold, rooted in our grain, and unlike anything else on tap. Will be available on draft and 4-packs on 7/2.

DOWN TO EARTH

Zwickelbier | 4.2% ABV

Down to Earth is our take on a traditional German-style Zwickelbier—an unfiltered, young lager that’s as honest and refreshing as the name suggests. Lightly cloudy with a soft golden hue, this beer strikes a perfect balance between crisp drinkability and subtle complexity.

Brewed with bready malts grown at Dancing Grain, floral hops, and just a hint of citrus, Down to Earth delivers a smooth, clean finish with a touch of character that sets it apart from your average lager.

They said it couldn’t be done—but we did it. Total Dankness is our boldest hop bomb yet: a 100% New York–grown Double IPA, brewed with locally sourced hops and malt that prove big flavor doesn’t need to come from far away.

Pouring a vibrant yellow-orange haze with a pillowy white head, this beer bursts with aromas of resin, pine, and citrus zest, followed by huge waves of juicy orange and a sticky, dank finish that lives up to its name.

Super hazy, unapologetically hop-forward, and brewed with pride from grain to glass—Total Dankness is proof that NYS-grown ingredients can bring the punch. Grab a glass before it disappears.

CAN’T REFUSE

Oak Aged Cherry Sour  | 6.0% ABV

Can’t Refuse is a tart ale with a twist you won’t see coming. It starts with a bright, tangy kettle-soured base, fermented with a generous helping of luscious cherries to bring a juicy, fruit-forward kick. From there, we let time work its magic—aging it for three months on oak to layer in subtle complexity.

The result? A pale, refreshing sour with vibrant cherry tartness, rounded out by delicate notes of vanilla and coconut from the oak. Crisp, clean, and quietly complex, this is a beer that invites another sip… and maybe one more after that.

When something this balanced, bold, and beautiful comes your way—you Can’t Refuse. Back on draft in late August / early September.

Expect deep, layered notes of chocolate, roasted coffee, and caramel, all balanced by the clean profile of traditional lager fermentation. Despite its intensity, the body is remarkably smooth—making this dark brew dangerously drinkable.

This isn’t your average dark beer—it’s a slow-crafted lager that walks the line between indulgence and restraint. Brewed for winter, but built to enjoy anytime. Meaner Than Evil doesn’t bite—but it leaves a lasting impression. Back on draft in late August.
