We love a cocktail-inspired beer here at the OGB. This time around, we bring back an experiment we launched initially more than two years ago - a Barrel-Aged Old Fashioned-Inspired Ale. We start with an English Barleywine, age it in bourbon barrels for six months, then finish the beer with sweet cherry and orange purees. The result is exactly what you'd expect - rich malt characters of toffee and raisin, warming vanilla and oak, and just a touch of the classic orange and cherry found in the cocktail. Read Less

A favorite returns to the tap list! This time around, our Coconut Porter utilizes a brand new pure, liquid coconut, rather than the toasted coconut chips we've used in the past.

The chocolate and coconut-forward aromas are still plenty evident, along with the gorgeous dark brown color. Read Less

We started with the recipe for our staff and fan favorite Guinness IPA, but added a generous dose of dark malt and Guinness roasted barley. The result is this gorgeous Black IPA, filled with notes of tangerine, pine, and dank forest-like aromas. The hop aromas are intense, but they're balanced by the classic roasty, chocolate-forward characteristics that are most often found in our stouts. This is where Dublin truly meets Baltimore.

The return of Breakfast Team Amber must mean that St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner. It's been a part of every one of our St. Patrick's Days in Baltimore - the idea coming from a story shared with our brewing team by an Irish bartender - he recalled the smell of the beer brewing at St. James's Gate in Dublin mixing with the smell of his grandmother's tea steeping in the kettle. Enter Breakfast Tea Amber - our core American Amber Ale base with Loral hops for a touch of lemony citrus and steeped Irish Breakfast Tea for a drying, earthy kick. A delicious, seasonal favorite.

The use of malted oats gives the beer its opacity, fitting for the Hazy IPA style. Read Less
