Menu
Amuse
Honker’s Ale – inspired by visits to English country pubs, this ale combines a spicy hop aroma with a rich malt middle to create a perfectly balanced beer.
Cajun blackened chicken, Napa cabbage slaw with peanuts and cilantro
India Pale Ale – recalling a time when ales where shipped from England to India and were highly hopped, this beer has a fruity aroma set off by a dry malt middle and long hop finish.
Sweet corn chowder
Sofie – fermented with wild yeasts and aged in wine barrels with orange peel, Sofie’s complex citrus flavors and a creamy vanilla finish make it ideal for drinkers fond of Champagne or Saisons.
Winter greens with watercress and jicama, lime olive oil dressing
312 Urban Wheat Ale – densely populated with flavor, 312’s spicy aroma of Cascade hops is followed by a crisp, fruity ale flavor delivered in a smooth, creamy body.
Broiled sea scallops, chipotle chili pesto
Matilda – wild in character, with a slightly fruity aroma and a spicy yeast flavor that is as unique as it is satisfying – an intriguing choice for beer and wine lovers alike.
Mini veal rack, lemon oil whipped potatoes, broccoli rabe
Pere Jacques – brewed with loads of malt and Belgian yeast, this is a wonderfully fruity, malty ale whose flavor complexity rivals that of a fine glass of vintage port.
Wild strawberry cake, short pastry base filled with Chantilly cream, topped with wild strawberries
Bourbon County Stout – the original bourbon barrel-aged stout, this stout is an intense mix of charred oak, chocolate, vanilla, caramel and smoke.
