BEER SAMPLER, 4-FOUR OZ. DRAFT BEERS FOR 3.95
Draught beers are available by the 4 oz. sample, pint, 1/2 yard or pitcher
Wheat Beers
Wheat is used in place of some of the barley, hence the name “weizen,” the light straw color and the dryness of flavor. Very refreshing and an ideal summer drink (or just when you need a quencher). Lively yeast creates a full head and slight sediment.
Ayinger Brau Weisse, Germany
Golden, fruity and thrist-quenching with a hint of cloves.
Sam Adams Cherry Wheat, Boston
Made with whole cherries, delicious cherry and creamy malt flavors.
Paulaner Hefeweizen, Germany
Thrist-quenching, perfect with Caesar salad.
Hoegarden, Belgium
Rich and bold. Try one today!
Franziskaner Hefeweizen, Germany
A German favorite. Great with salads.
Fruited & Lambic Beers
Perhaps the “original” beer, lambics are unique in that they are spontaneously fermented from wild yeasts. The barley and wheat mash is left in open tanks for random airborne yeasts to settle upon and ferment. This creates batches of sour-tasting beer each with its own flavor. After up to two years of oak cask-aging, the batches are then skillfully blended, like wine, for consistency. The resultant dry, tangy blend is regarded like champagne although many drinker prefer the addition of a sweeter fruit flavor.
Lindeman's Framboise, Belgium
Magnificant aroma, delicate palate of raspberries and fruity acidity undertones.
Lagers
The world’s biggest category of beers, lagers are all brewed using lager yeasts that sink to the bottom of the brewing vessel. Brewed at a lower temperature than ales, they are stored (or lagered, from “lagern” in German) for up to six weeks before being sold. Styles can vary from light pilsners to dark, bold bocks. Most mainstream American beers are lagers, as are most German beers

Bock
High in alcohol content, full-bodied with plenty of malt. Copper to dark brown, these are traditionally brewed in late winter or spring, hence “Maibock,” although they are now produced year-round. The stronger dopplebocks, double bocks, are often given names ending in “ator” such as Celebrator.
Ayinger Celebrator Dopplebock Aying, Germany
A rich, smooth brew with a toasted, nutty taste and a strong alcohol content, 6.8% by volume. The hint of sweetness goes great with our Fish and Chips Platter.

O’Douls St. Louis, Mo.
Coor's N/A, Colorado
Kalibers, Dublin, Eire
Ales
Ales differ from lagers as their yeast remains on the top of the fermenting liquid and they ferment at higher temperatures. This yields a headier, more rustic, aromatic character, enhanced by enjoying them at cellar temperature (50-60 degrees F) in the British tradition, rather than ice-cold. The British and Belgians favor ales.

Porters & Stouts
According to tradition, the dark, heavy ales called Porter were quaffed by the porters who carried and shoved stuff around the markets of London. Perhaps the stout ones drank Stout; maybe you graduated to it when you’d put on enough excess pounds. Who knows? The dark color and toasty malt flavor come from deep roasting the barley malt, like espresso coffee.
