NOD HILL GIDDYUP HOP-FORWARD PILSNER
“Assertively dry-hopped” German pilsner adds NEIPA-like grapefruit zesting, tannic green grape esters and earthen pine resin to lagered lemony orange tang, phenol spicing and corn-starched white breading.
GARAGE BEER LAGER – CLASSIC
On tap at Pompton Craft House, perhaps bettering all American light lagers under 95 calories, football’s Kelce brother’s team up for pleasantly unassuming aluminum-yellowed suds. Musty maize astringency meets sweet rice, phenol hop spicing and black peppery snip at dry mineral grained malt stead.
NOD HILL STELLAR RAY’S PILSNER
Crisp cold conditioning allows bulky German-styled pilsner to filter out any gunk from lemon-rotted grape tannins its Huell Melon hops promote, leaving dank cellar fungi, musky raw graining, root vegetable must and wafting compost upon roasted corn chip backend. Rustic.
EGGENBERG LEMON ELDERBERRY RADLER
On tap at Ambulance, spritzy lemon limed soda fizz drifts into frozen Limeaid Margarita brining and lemon limed elderberry lemonade tartness, gaining mild minty herbage over dainty oated pilsner malts. Betters most radlers.
YUENGLING FLIGHT LIGHT LAGER
Dry maize and wild oats receive astringent lemony hop tingle and cheap whiskey nip for easygoing, if indistinct, pale aluminum low-carb light lager. Lighter than popcorn and less salty.
ICARUS KALASHNIKOFFEE IMPERIAL STOUT W/ MAPLE SYRUP & VANILLA BEAN
On tap at Taphouse 15, dazzling Buffalo Trace bourbon-aged Kalashnikoffee variant segues perfectly from brown-sugared maple vanilla resonance to bittersweet dark cocoa richness.

MORTALIS AS ABOVE SO BELOW MARSHMALLOW IMPERIAL STOUT
On tap at Taphouse 15, luscious confectionery coffee stout plies chewy chocolate marshmallow sugaring to advertised “brownie-battered coconut rum” sweetness as well as espresso, pecan pie, toasted almond, dark cherry and rum-buttered cinnamon swirl illusions.

MORTALIS PERCES
On tap at Taphouse 15, sumptuous pastry stout brewed with peach coffee cake, almond and cinnamon basks in Black Forest cake richness. Mild bourbon vanilla, black cherry soda, spiced toffee and cola illusions reach creamy dark chocolate base alongside peachy cinnamon-spiced almond nuttiness. Heavenly nightcap.
MAGNIFY 9TH ANNIVERSARY SUNDAE BORN DAY BIRTHDAY CAKE IMPERIAL STOUT
On tap at Taphouse 15, luxuriously detailed Sundae-creamed birthday caking soaked in Willett Barrels for seven years and conditioned on Rice Krispies and coffee drapes fudgy dark chocolate syruping all over its confectionery vanilla cake-battered affluence. In the recess, bruised black cherry, stewed prune and rum raisin deepen its rich dessert resolve.
TOPPLING GOLIATH TERM OIL VANILLA BEAN IMPERIAL STOUT
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, richly exquisite vanilla bean variant pelts toasted marshmallow fluff at chocolate nougat and whipped cream adjuncts. Fudgy dark chocolatey vanilla creaming gains black coffee, dry bourbon, sweet burgundy and whiskey tones at its chewy nougat center.
BOLERO SNORT FABULLED IMPERIAL STOUT
On tap at Taphouse 15, rich pastry-styled stout conditioned on peanut buttered marshmallow in a boozy (10% ABV) rye whiskey setting. Brown chocolate sweetness outdoes mild peanut buttering, sweet marshmallow swipe and faded rye sequence above honeyed Graham Cracker base.
