Moon Hill Craft Beer & Cider
Local Kolsch Our first beer brewed in 2006, somewhat by accident – long story. Formerly known as Summer’s End, it has been re-branded as Löcal Kölsch. The Kölsch style of beer is for everyone. It’s what you should get when you tell any bartender in the world “Beer please!” Light on the tongue, but tastefully assertive, Löcal Kölsch has not been dumbed down to please all, instead it has been crafted to plug into the desire for a bright, tangy and tasteful lighter beer. German Kolsch 4.9% ABV 20 IBU	$17.25
PufnStuf IPA This straight ahead, American IPA has a tropical hop hit reminiscent of Tangerine and Meyer Lemon, from a blend of Simcoe, Amarillo, and Mosaic hops. 6.5% ABV 65 IBU	$17.25
Coal Miners’ Water Black IPA Not our first black IPA, but our most ambitious. With a base malt bill of Pilsner & Pale, rounded out with dehusked roasted barley malt, we pull off a smooth black ale, which we pack with Chinook, Crystal, Columbus and Citra hops. Classic citrus aroma with a bit of college dorm room and weed and a dry finish.	$17.25
Facelift IPA A nod to an earlier Era of Craft. This beer is loaded with English Hops and using a traditional English IPA recipe, it will happily lift your face as your palate explores its bitter, yet smooth effect. Facelift’s up front bitterness gives way 6.3% ABV 72 IBU	$17.25
Captain Easy Session IPA Captain Easy is a hazy session IPA that sports pineapple and citrus notes. A quintessential yacht rock easy drinking beer. Sailing to your glass. 4.5% ABV; 27 IBU	$17.25
Chair City Vienna Lager Malt forward by virtue of a Vienna malt base. Clean, subtle, floral hopped beauty. This is The Chair City’s (Gardner, MA, hey) interpretation of a Vienna Lager, appropriate to late winter and spring sustenance. 5% ABV 20 IBU	$18.25
J. Dunk J. Dunk rounds the corner from a lighter festbier, like Oktoberfest, into a solid and assertive amber player. In order that you are not just left playing around in a malt bomb with a bit of toast, Liberty hops, a cousin of German Hallertau, lightly pierce the body and brighten the drinking experience. You haven’t seen a beer like this, well, since the last time we made it!	$18.25
Oats Magoats DIPA Double IPA? Extra IPA, Extreme or Imperial. Call it what you will, it’s good. Citra hops give a distinct apricot aroma. Add to that Centennial and Amarillo and this beer jumps out the glass. Oats are a great body shot to the baseline of this beer. The ensemble is a crushing crescendo. 8% ABV 56 IBU	$20.75
RAF Semi-Sweet Hard Cider Our semi-sweet hard cider is made for you sweet types. It isn’t all that sweet, so don’t get excited. It’s still our very original, Red Apple Farm cider, with just a hint of cidery sweetness to lure you in. We are proud of this collaboration cider made on the Red Apple Farm in Phillipston, MA. from fresh New England apples pressed weekly.	$18.25
Perley Girl German Pilsner Perley Girl is a light lager & German Pilsner designed to showcase the fruity, floral, and spicy Perle hop. An easy drinker with subtle and intricate old world hop notes. 5.4% ABV 29 IBU	$17.25
WES West Coast IPA It was a bit of a personal hurdle, something like deciding to make a pumpkin beer, but not as fraught. Had to lift our heads out of the easty haze. So, we added a variety of hops (simcoe, citra, chinook) at various stages of the boil and none in the fermenter. Not easy, that. Passing by the fermenter daily and not mounting to the top with a bag. That’s the main difference between out there and back here, with some IPA’s anyway. The beer drops clear (weird) and struts significant citrus hop flavor. The aroma goes more towards orangey tropical. The expected hoppy bite is almost balanced by a malt bill primarily of pale, munich and caramel. Might keep this one around, now that we gave it a name. New England IPA 7.1% ABV 39 IBU	$18.25
Dry Water (0% ABV) Water, Hops, Lemon Juice, Carbonation If Dry Water were a beer, it would be an IPA or Pale Ale. You get the satisfaction of hops and carbonation without the alcohol. It is a great fit for Dry January or Dry Anything. This is a hopped seltzer, also known as hop water – a refreshing departure from fruit flavored seltzers.	$9.25

Moon Hill Craft Beer & Cider
Local Kolsch Our first beer brewed in 2006, somewhat by accident – long story. Formerly known as Summer’s End, it has been re-branded as Löcal Kölsch. The Kölsch style of beer is for everyone. It’s what you should get when you tell any bartender in the world “Beer please!” Light on the tongue, but tastefully assertive, Löcal Kölsch has not been dumbed down to please all, instead it has been crafted to plug into the desire for a bright, tangy and tasteful lighter beer. German Kolsch 4.9% ABV 20 IBU	$17.25
Chair City Vienna Lager Malt forward by virtue of a Vienna malt base. Clean, subtle, floral hopped beauty. This is The Chair City’s (Gardner, MA, hey) interpretation of a Vienna Lager, appropriate to late winter and spring sustenance. 5% ABV 20 IBU	$18.25
Facelift IPA A nod to an earlier Era of Craft. This beer is loaded with English Hops and using a traditional English IPA recipe, it will happily lift your face as your palate explores its bitter, yet smooth effect. Facelift’s up front bitterness gives way 6.3% ABV 72 IBU	$17.25
Oats Magoats DIPA Double IPA? Extra IPA, Extreme or Imperial. Call it what you will, it’s good. Citra hops give a distinct apricot aroma. Add to that Centennial and Amarillo and this beer jumps out the glass. Oats are a great body shot to the baseline of this beer. The ensemble is a crushing crescendo. 8% ABV 56 IBU	$20.75
WES West Coast IPA It was a bit of a personal hurdle, something like deciding to make a pumpkin beer, but not as fraught. Had to lift our heads out of the easty haze. So, we added a variety of hops (simcoe, citra, chinook) at various stages of the boil and none in the fermenter. Not easy, that. Passing by the fermenter daily and not mounting to the top with a bag. That’s the main difference between out there and back here, with some IPA’s anyway. The beer drops clear (weird) and struts significant citrus hop flavor. The aroma goes more towards orangey tropical. The expected hoppy bite is almost balanced by a malt bill primarily of pale, munich and caramel. Might keep this one around, now that we gave it a name. New England IPA 7.1% ABV 39 IBU	$18.25
