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.

Classic citrus aroma with a bit of college dorm room and weed and a dry finish.

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.

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
