The Evangelist
Belgian Quadrupel Ale 10.5%ABV
A big, complex beer named in honor of this ale's creator, Tony Evangelista (Liz's Dad). An avid Belgian beer drinker/brewer, this is truly his masterpiece beer after a lifetime of exceptional brewing.
Tasting Notes: Rich, dark, and complex. Malty sweetness gives way to notes of figs, plums, raisins.
Wildcat Sally
Saison Farmhouse Ale 6.5%ABV
A Brew in honor of Delaware's first known bartender. It is rumored that "wildcat Sally" was attacked by a wildcat on her way home from work one night. A tough woman and historical figure like that deserves her own brew.
Tasting Notes: Effervescent, dry, champaign-like, with notes of citrus and slight spice
Flood Water
English Oatmeal Milk Stout 5% ABV- Currently off tap, as Oatmeal Stout is on tap instead
Named to commemorate the 100-year anniversary of the most disastrous event in Delaware history, the Flood of 1913. We hope you find this dark brew much more enjoyable.
Tasting Notes: This stout has a full and creamy mouthfeel with definitive aroma and flavor notes of chocolate, roasted coffee and toasted oats imparted by roasted malts and British Maris Otter malt. It drinks very smooth and rich!
Golden Delicious
Belgian Golden Strong Ale 9.3%ABV
Simply named Golden Delicious for two reasons. First, because it is just that good; and second, because this brew contains esters reminiscent of apples!
Tasting Notes: Effervescent and dry with a marriage of strong fruity esters and slight spicy esters that are reminscent of apples, golden raisins, and slight bubblegum. This brew is Liz's personal favorite.
The Runner Up
English Extra Special Bitter (ESB) Ale 5.1%ABV
This beer is in honor of Delaware almost being named state capital of Ohio. Also known as an English Pale ale, the ESB is a classic English beer style that is truly a great session beer for anytime of the year.
Tasting Notes: malty sweetness with biscuit/nutty undertones that are complemented by a creamy and smooth mouthfeel imparted by the nitro.
Baumholder
German Weizen 5%ABV
On May 31, 2011 the cities of Delaware and Baumholder, Germany signed a sister city partnership. Here is our contribution to this successful ongoing partnership.
Tasting Notes: effervescent with esters of banana, balanced by light maltiness and slight citrus. Extremely refreshing, especially when served with a lemon.
Rotating Pale Ale
Pale Ale ABV 5%-7%
Almost every week we put a new Pale Ale—new hops, just keep it fresh and new. Ask bartender for this week’s hop combo!
Senior Status
American Double IPA 8.7%ABV
Raised by an avid IPA drinker, there was no way Donald could not give reference to his father Don Staas Sr. While this brew isn't a tremendously bitter representation of the style, it contains loads aromatic and flavoring hop additions. We pride ourselves on this being one of the most balanced DIPAs on the market.
Tasting Notes: A west coast meets east coast style hybrid double IPA (not too bitter and not too fruity/but the best of both worlds). Big and balanced, amber colored beer with waves of hop flavor, aroma, and moderate bitterness. This brew is generously dry hopped with Citra hops and is always fresh to our tap to highlight its great aroma.
