This is an excellent brew to celebrate our brewing heritage!

Today's the day!

Some beers spend a few weeks in the tank.

This one has been 250 years in the making.

Okay... maybe not literally. But our Colonial Ale was brewed to celebrate America's 250th anniversary, inspired by beers of the colonial era and finished with American oak for a little extra character.

Stop by today, grab a pair, and raise a mug to great beer and 250 years of American history.

Powdered wigs encouraged, but not required.
