~ The cellar list ~

By the bottle. For the patient drinker.

Bottles and large-format cans we've stashed away. Some of these are already a few years deep. Servers will tell you what's worth opening tonight.

Cantillon Gueuze 2022

— Brussels, Belgium · 5.0% · 750ml

The classic. Lambic blender's gueuze, bottle-conditioned. Sharp, oaky, lemon and barnyard, finishes bone dry.

$72~ 750 ml ~

Hill Farmstead Edward

— Greensboro Bend, VT · 5.2% · 16oz can

The pale ale we hide for regulars. Soft, citrus, soft-water Vermont character. We get six cases a quarter.

$18~ 16 oz ~

Sierra Nevada Bigfoot 2019

— Mills River, NC · 9.6% · 12oz

Five-year vertical down to one bottle left. Toffee, dried fig, the hops have softened into something else entirely.

$14~ 12 oz ~

Side Project Fuzzy

— Maplewood, MO · 5.8% · 375ml

Wild ale aged on white peaches. Floral, juicy, gently funky. We open this one on first warm Friday of spring, ask the bartender.

$32~ 500 ml ~

Jolly Pumpkin Bam Bière

— Dexter, MI · 4.5% · 750ml

Saison aged in oak. Funky, lemon, herbal — the easiest sour to put in front of someone who says they don't like sours.

$22~ 750 ml ~

The Bruery Black Tuesday 2018

— Anaheim, CA · 19.6% · 750ml

Bourbon-barrel imperial stout. Six years in the cellar. Pour an inch, share with the table, let it warm in the glass.
