Beer & Descriptions:
BURN AFTER HOPPING
West Coast-Style IPA
Burn After Hopping is a take on a West Coast-Style IPA, brewed to be hop-forward with an assertively bitter finish. Medium-light in body, this golden ale is dry-hopped with Amarillo and Citra for notes of zesty pineapple, citrus pith, and pine. 8% ABV
LEFT ON PEARL
Grisette Ale with Ginger
Left on Pearl is a take on a Grisette, a drinkable Belgian Farmhouse style. Brewed with Maine-grown Pilsner malts, dry-hopped with citrus-forward Lemondrop, and blended with fresh ginger juice, this beer is refreshing and delicious, with a zesty bite on the finish. Created in collaboration with, and in celebration of, the Cambridge Women’s Center. 3.9% ABV
OUTSIDE BRUGES
Belgian-Style Tripel Aged in Brett
Barrels Outside Bruges is a radical take on a Belgian-Style Tripel, aged for a year in Brettanomyces-inoculated barrels of American, Hungarian, and French origin. Overtones of pineapple and ripe peach replace traditional pepper and clove aromas, riding atop a refined funk and warming alcohol presence. On the finish, a tannic backbone offers hints of oaky vanilla, resulting in a delightfully dry and complex pint. 10.2% ABV
BOURBON WOLVES
Porter Aged in Bourbon Barrels
Bourbon Wolves begins as a house Porter, Werewolves of Cambridge, before entering bourbon barrels for four months. A decadent mix of chocolate, cocoa, and vanilla give this beer an assertive yet balanced flavor profile. Each sip finishes creamy and smooth, rounded out by a warming combination of toffee and bourbon. 11.4% ABV
