room by the pint or growler. Examples of our loyal followers favorite seasonal
beers brewed so far are the Boxcar Porter, Hat Trick Tripel and Go-Go- Witbier,
among others. Our approach is two-fold, to brew quality beer is a must, but we
also want to turn as many people on to as many craft beer styles as we can.

yeast this is a perfect gateway beer for the mainstream American Lager beer drinker.

style Red Ale. The name is reference to the often played combination of Grateful
Dead song’s Scarlet Begonias and Fire on the Mountain. This beer features a great
balance of malt sweetness from caramel malt and subtle toasty notes from roasted
barley. Brewed with American Ale yeast, and East Kent Golding hops, it pays tribute to
its heritage as an Irish Red Ale.
