In case you're curious about our holiday hours, here they are! And in spite of what your Google search might say at the moment, we ARE open on Saturdays.
Admittedly, it’s a bit of a paradox to name our Amber Lager for history’s most famous agent of prohibition. But it’s a smooth, malty (and dare we say, arresting?) paradox.
Flavor
Almost untouchably smooth--armed with lightly toasted malts and noble hops.

Spotlight Ingredient
Munich Malt
During its “stewing” and kilning processes, Munich malts undergo a number of chemical changes including production of melanoidins, which contribute to the malt’s nutty, bready, toffee flavors. These flavors are extracted through mashing. In ales, a small percentage of Munich malt gives great character. In lagers, a larger percentage of Munich malt may be used, particularly in robust styles like bocks.
COOKING WITH ELIOT NESS
Add it to your favorite recipe, and you’ll find that our beer is a perfect cooking companion. Just make sure you save some for the chef.
We'd never tell you what to drink, but the fact that your eyes are lingering on this particular beer makes us feel pretty confident in recommending a few others. Hint, hint. Nudge, nudge.
