First Batches of Heresy & Insanity Bottled (1/19/10)
These will begin shipping out next week, and will be available at the Visitor Center beginning this Saturday.
Fireside Ale Released! (1/4/10)
Shipping out this week to all wholesalers. This intriguing, lightly smoked dark ale is perfect this time of year. Check out this YouTube video just made by yours truly, and both Chris' for more info on Fireside. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2zZrg85cjI
Hotel Shipping Now (12/7/09)
The latest in our Brewer's Select Series is an Imperial Porter at 8.2% ABV. Bottles will be available for sale only at the brewery (we only have 60 cs) beginning Saturday December 12. Half Kegs are shipping out this week to PA markets as well as Ohio, MD, MA, and Florida. Brewers Chris and Nads have really outdone themselves on this one. Silky smooth and very nicely balanced, we're sure a lot of you will be talking about this one for a while!
Bourbon Barrels! (11/18/09)
We just received 160 bourbon barrels from distillers to use for Heresy and Insanity coming out in February. This section of the brewery smells fantastically like a bourbon distillery!
Golf, latest one-off released (10/19/09)
Head brewer Chris Wilson has created a Festaweizen! (say it with excitement now)! Golf is a hybrid of Octoberfest and Hefeweizen styles at 6% abv. You can buy bottles only at the brewery on Saturdays, draft will be shipped to PA, OH, MD, FL, and MA. This unfiltered style carries malty, yeasty, toasty notes not unlike a weizenbock. Perfect for this time of year and this 6% beer packs the flavor of some 8 or 9% brews. Try it, you like it!

Merry Monks’ Ale Rated as a Top Belgian Trippel! (2/6/09)
The Ale Street News Feb/Mar 2009 edition, just getting to beer stores across the country right now conducted a blind panel tasting of Belgian style Trippels and Merry Monks’ was awarded 4 stars!
To put this is context, Westmalle Trippel was given 3.5 stars as was Victory Golden Monkey, and New Belgium’s Trippel. Some other notables from Belgium received only 3 stars as did Stone’s version.
We launched Merry Monks’ 10 years ago under the name Belgian Style Trippel originally and changed the name to Merry Monks’ in 2002. This is my personal favorite of all the beer styles we make and we take extra special care to make sure it's bottle conditioned at the brewery before shipping out to market. If you’re lucky enough to find the cork ‘n’ cage edition of this beauty (released only a few times a year), you’ll experience and even higher effervescence than the 12 oz. version as the big corked bottles are able to withstand higher internal pressures, hence we are able to fully bottle condition to a higher level of carbonation.
Merry Monks has become one of our flagship beers growing about 30% each year in sales. Arguably this may be our best beer and we’re very proud to received recognition of this level. Thanks Ale Street News!
