Belgian Dubbel
A fruity, deeply malty ale that remains light-bodied with a dry finish. First brewed by Trappist monks and then by commercial breweries due to popularity.
Cream Ale
More malt flavor and a bit more fruitiness than American Lager. Very similar to Kolsch, but often with a corny adjunct character. Clean, well-attenuated, flavorful and easy drinking American “lawnmower” beer.
Roasted Delicata Squash
Delicata Squash is the smaller cousin in the squash family. It’s sweet & creamy and roasts up much faster than its bigger relatives.
