MUCKRAKER FARMSTAND CUVEE WILD ALE
On tap at Taphouse 15, spontaneously fermented amber reddish-glowed wild ale lets raspberry balsamic vinegaring spread across New Jeersey-harvested peach, blueberry and blackberry fruiting desiccated by leathery green grape esters.

CASCADE COSMOSAIC BARREL AGED SOUR BLONDE ALE
On tap at Kitchen & Beer Bar, salty lemon-juiced tequila frontage and limey white grape tartness lightly acidify effervescent straw-cleared barrel-aged sour blonde.

BAY STATE BLOOD ORANGE LAGER
Tangy blood orange influence totally mesmerizes the senses for murkily gunky amber-sludged fruited lager dotted by globular blood orange chunks.

CAPTAIN LAWRENCE BIER PRETZEL MARZEN
