A homunculus was a small person created in alchemy. Homunculus is technically a British Dark Mild. This style was the most popular beer sold in pubs until the 1960’s, but now it is relatively hard to find, even in the U.K. It’s a low alcohol beer, malt focused, with notes of chocolate and mild in bitterness.

Gaspipes was Victorian slang for skinny pants. Gaspipes is a traditional English best bitter.
Naturally carbonated and served on a handpump. The name ‘bitter’ was an old term to differentiate it from a ‘mild’ or less hopped beer. This beer is still a malt forward beer, with a crispness from the hops and a nice dry finish.

A Rat King is a macabre term for a group of rats whose tails tie together in a knot. This unusual phenomenon was mostly noted in Germany, and was seen as a bad omen, usually associated with the plague.
Our Rat King is a double IPA. While we are certainly focused on smaller session ales, we sometimes want a big beer, and Rat King delivers. At just over 9% abv, this beer packs a punch, and with 96 IBUs, it packs a punch of hops too. We mashed at a little lower temperature to make sure it attenuated well, giving it a lighter body and drier finish than you might expect from a double IPA. With copious amounts of Amarillo, Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe, this beer is a showcase for hops. Hopheads rejoice, this is your beer.

Merrie-Go-Down is old English slang for a strong ale. While we couldn’t find any more explinations on the origins of this phrase, we liked the name.
We use lots of Galaxy and Mosaic to give this IPA a big punch of tropical notes (mango and passion fruit). Using our house dry English ale yeast, this beer finished clean and crisp.
This beer name has nothing to do with ‘merry-go-rounds, although that’s how it’s usually mispronounced, but if you drank too many, you might feel like you’re on a merry-go-round when you lie in bed.

Rowan trees have a long history in mythology. In Norse mythology, it was the tree that the first woman was made from. In the British Isles, the Rowan tree was supposed to be a protection to witchcraft and enchantment. People would carry small equal arm crosses of it or sew it into their clothes. Druids used the bark and berries to dye robes black for lunar ceremonies, and twigs were used for divining rods.
Our Rowan IPA is rich with pine and citrus notes from lots of Simcoe and Columbus with a touch of caramunich malt to build up the backbone. We think this is a classic version of an American IPA.

Albedo is reference to the reflectivity of an object, usually referring to a celestial body. (the albedo of the earth is 0.37 FYI)
Our Munich or Bavarian style wheat beer is a blend of German Pilsner and American white wheat malt. This cloudy, tart beer uses only German noble hops for bittering, and lets the yeast character be the star of this brew. We ferment on the cooler side to let the clove character come through, but there are still hints of banana as well. Weißbier (white beer) as it is known in Bavaria, is one of our favorite styles in the world. We hope you enjoy our interpretation.
