Our Ale
We are proud to be the only wood-fired brewery in Pennsylvania. This means we use no electricity or gas to boil the wort during the brewing process. Our real ales are all based on traditional and historic recipes, just like back in the day when ale houses offered good, plain beer to be enjoyed in abundance. Yes, this means no IPAs or sour beers. Furthermore, all of our real ale is cask conditioned and served out of antique hand pumps, pulling straight from the casks.
Our Farmhouse Cider
Our Farmhouse Cider is a very traditional cider, made using techniques our forefathers would have employed on their farms. First, we obtain fresh-pressed juice from our neighbors at Weavers Orchard, which is pressed straight into our Sherry Casks from Spain. The juice then undergoes a wild fermentation, meaning that the yeast from the skin of the apples ferments the sugars from the juice into alcohol. Fermentation lasts approximately one month, after which we transfer the cider into our aging barrels and age it for a minimum of six months, or as long as possible. We then tap and serve it directly from the barrel. This cider is 100% natural, with nothing added and nothing taken away in the entire process. This is as pure of an alcohol as you can get, and it's good for you, too! Tasting notes of oak, vanilla, apple, and honey come through.
