What's On Tap

Helles Lager - 5.5% ABV - AVAILABLE IN CANS!

As you may know, “après” is French for “after.”  This clean, straightforward lager is an easy drinking lighter beer. Whether après biking, après ski, or après work, it’s a great way to celebrate the day.  

NEIPA - 6.3% ABV  

That’s how far it is from Josh’s home to the brewery.  Although he grew up in the North Country of NH, life took him a bit further away.  This is one of only two of our beers that has the English malt Pearl holding down the base.  The hops in this beer give it a spicy, floral character that makes it unique among our NEIPAs.  Look for aromas of tropical fruit, pine, and herbs.

Saison - 6.1% ABV 

Named in tribute to a patron and 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.

Imperial Stout - 9.5% ABV - AVAILABLE IN CANS!

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.

Belgian Blonde - 5.5% ABV - AVAILABLE IN CANS!

The yeast used in this light, sunny colored ale gives it a balance of delicate fruit esters and subtle spicy notes, while the hops lend a bit of bitterness and citrus.  This beer is a cousin to our Belgian Triple (Three Gnomes) and their little brother (Little Gnome). 

Dark Lager - 5.0% ABV - AVAILABLE IN CANS!

Although this beer is dark in color, it’s brewed with lager yeast keeping it clean and light while its lower abv makes it very drinkable. Developed in collaboration with Colorado Brew (younger brother Adam), it has notes of chocolate, espresso, and just a hint of hazelnut.  As for the name, it pays tribute to the many Ore Hills in our region where iron ore was mined. We were originally inspired when we learned Roger Aldrich (of our friends at Polly’s Pancake Parlor) was fascinated by the ore mines found in Sugar Hill. He explored them often as a child and continued his enchantment as an adult.  His wife, Nancy, even illustrated a map of the mines. We encourage you to take a moment to research the interview/writings done by Roger and the illustrations by Nancy found on the Internet. 

NEIPA - 6.3% ABV - AVAILABLE IN CANS!

Some call this our “flagship” beer as it was our first IPA tasted by our patrons.  This popular favorite has a floral aroma, with flavors of tropical fruits and citrus.  Its name pays homage to the abundant, beautiful wild flowers found in our region, including the lupines whose image is found on our Ultra Flora can. 

NE Double IPA - 8.2% ABV - AVAILABLE IN CANS!

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.  

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.

Fruited Sour - 6% ABV -AVAILABLE IN CANS!

This version of our sour is made with mango and pineapple.  While the pH in the name (pronounced “fool”) gives tribute to the acidity required to brew this beer, there are different opinions as to whom stubborn refers. You be the judge. 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.

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.

Milk Stout w/ Chocolate - 7.4% ABV

This dark ale is made with lactose giving it sweetness and full body. Ghirardelli chocolate is added to increase the rich flavor already in the roasted malts used in this brew.  This stout is as smooth as its namesake, the popular trail.

American Porter - 5.8% ABV - AVAILABLE IN CANS RIGHT NOW!

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.

Pilsner - 4.7% ABV - AVAILABLE IN CANS RIGHT NOW!

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.
