What's On Tap

Pilsner - 4.7% ABV - AVAILABLE IN CANS!

Light but flavorful, we hope you will enjoy our version of this style whether after a long bike ride or long day.  Pilsners are one of the most popular beers in the world due to their crisp, refreshing taste.  Clean with notes of herbal tea and honey, our brew’s flavor is rounded out with traditional German hops. 

German Festival Beer - 6.0% ABV - AVAILABLE IN CANS!

This light, easy drinking, smooth lager is our take on a beer served traditionally at Oktoberfest.  As you may know, Oktoberfest is actually celebrated in Germany mid to late September through the first weekend in October. Drink this seasonal beer while you can get it. 

Saison - 6.1% ABV - AVAILABLVE IN CANS!

Named in tribute to our friend, this Saison is bold, full flavored, dry, and spicy.  Saisons are Belgian style ales whose name comes from the French word for “season.”  

American Brown - 5.8% ABV - AVAILABLE IN CANS!

This gently sweet, but darker brown ale is a fan favorite with notes of chocolate, nuts, and toffee.  It is dry hopped to give it a warm floral aroma. Our tribute to a favorite way to get to the top of Cannon Mountain.

NEIPA - 6.5% ABV - AVAILABLE IN CANS!

Tropical and orange, with hints of white grape, lemongrass, and red currant, this NEIPA stands out from our others due to the Topaz and Enigma hops found in it.  And you bet, another road/mountain/gravel biking connection in the name.  Hops: Enigma, Topaz, Citra

Belgian Pale Ale - 5.0% ABV

Light in color with somewhat spicy/fruity character, our tribute to a Belgian Pale is soft and smooth with light hop character.  This is the little brother of our Belgian Triple, Three Gnomes.  

American Porter - 5.8% ABV - AVAILABLE IN CANS!

If you’ve been in Northern New England very long, you’ve experienced the season “third winter” and probably have your own definition of what it is and when it occurs.  This dark, malty beer has a character of roasted coffee, semi-sweet chocolate, and a touch of caramel with hops that make you feel warm as it goes down.  We hope this porter makes “third winter” just a bit more bearable.

Fruited Blonde - 5.6% ABV - AVAILABLE IN CANS!

Light bodied and slightly malty with the perfect amount of peaches added, this beer is one of our seasonal favorites. We try to offer this ale from late spring to early fall.

NEIPA - 6.3% ABV - AVAILABLE IN CANS!

This street will never be the same since all four IFB founders lived there together back in the day.  Our unique brew uses malt and hops that can’t be found in any of our other IPAs.  Look for strong citrus aromas with a taste that blends new and old world flavors. Hops: Pacifica, Talus, Galaxy

NE Double IPA - 8.3% ABV

Paying tribute to the road with one of the best views of Franconia Ridge and the same road The Frost Place resides upon (the family home of poet Robert Frost from 1915-1920), this Double IPA is as brilliant and straightforward as Frost’s poems themselves.  Charged with Mosaic hops, this double has aromas of pineapple, passion fruit, and mango with flavors of citrus and pine.  Hops: Mosiac, Citra

Belgian Strong Ale - 7.5% ABV

Stronger than our Little Gnome Belgian Pale Ale.  A little less dryer than our Three Gnomes Belgian Triple. This beer is somewhere in the middle with fruity notes, Belgian spiciness, and golden in color.  

Fruited Sour - 6% ABV - AVAILABLE IN CANS!

At the request of a family member this beer was first brewed, and has now become a staple of our lineup.  This “OG” version is made with whole raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries that give its flavor and color. As you may know, the pH in the name (pronounced “fool”) gives tribute to the acidity required to brew this beer.  Lactose and yeast come together to make it sour. If you’ve never had a sour, give it three sips before you decide if you like it.

NEIPA - 6.3% ABV - AVAILABLE IN CANS RIGHT NOW!

We are proud to be a supporter of the Ales for A.L.S. (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) program along with many other breweries around the world.  In 2024, the program raised over $1 million for A.L.S. research and therapy totalling over $8 million since the program’s inception.  The exclusive hop blend is different every year.  We combine the Ales for A.L.S. hops supplied to us with a bit of Citra to increase the strong, but smooth, citrusy flavor profile.  We then donate a portion of the sales of this IPA to the program.  Enjoy this NEIPA in memory of someone or knowing that you are helping to find a cure for this disease. Hops: Special Blend from Yakima Valley Hops

Golden Ale - 5.5% ABV - AVAILABLE IN CANS RIGHT NOW!

Our sunny-hued light, easy drinking ale with just the right amount of sweetness, maltiness, and a hint of fruit notes that comes from the hops. It is named for the small, white wildflower found here in New Hampshire with glossy evergreen leaves and bright yellow roots. 

NE Double IPA - 8.0% ABV - AVAILABLE IN CANS RIGHT NOW!

Blood Orange fruit is added to this Double IPA to make the flavors pop. With fruity notes of apricot and berry as well as aromas of pine and stone fruits derived from the hops, this beer is often enjoyed by folks who say they don’t usually like IPAs.  Was this named for the world in the popular video game?  The magnificent waterfalls in Franconia Notch?  Or the city in the epic space saga?  Feel free to believe and defend your own theory. Hops: Simco, Citra, Centennial

Imperial Stout - 9.5% ABV

Old Stone Stack is the nickname of the original Iron Furnace located just down the road and across the river.  A big, dark beer made with NH maple syrup, coffee, and chocolate, this stout is a seasonal favorite of many.  A huge thank you to the Gaudette Family for the maple syrup.  We pour this beer in a smaller serving due to the alcohol content.  Consider letting it warm up just a bit to bring out its robust flavors.
