Miss Elsa's Elderberry Beer

Miss Elsa’s (4.2 abv) is named for Miss Elsa Atwood Griffin, who keeps watch over our taproom. We found her photo in the attic of this old Griffin Road farmhouse. She was born and raised right here, and became a head nurse at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston. We think Miss Elsa had about seen it all, and we think she would have approved of a tart beer containing the good-for-what-ails-ya properties of native elderberries. (Fun fact: We also discovered that Miss Elsa and Lois had ancestors who came to this country on the same boat…a rickety wooden thing called The Mayflower.)

The Old Immigrant (3.1 abv). We took ingredients that would have been available to a colonial-era beer maker and added our own Blasty twist. Named for Andrew McClary, who came to this hill from Scotland in the 1700s and was known in these parts as “The Old Immigrant.” (His son would go on to command a regiment at the Battle of Bunker Hill.) With molasses, raisin, oak...

Currant Craze

Currant Craze Pale Ale (5.0 a.b.v.). Black currants are in season, so we put together a pale ale with just enough of this local fruit to add a subtle background flavor. Heck, why not get your antioxidants in your beer…?

Mandofest

Mandofest (5.3 abv) Irish Red is a special brew to celebrate the annual March Mandolin Festival! Mandofest is an Irish red, brewed with maple and spruce tips (so, like many mandolins, it has a maple back and a spruce top!)
