A New England style IPA hopped with El Dorado and Mosaic, which give it a tropical, pineapple flavor. The addition of oats gives it a hazy look. Enjoy this ale we brewed with our Locke neighbor and fellow beer lover, Brett Nieves.

“Summerhill originated as the eastern half of the Town of Locke, a portion of the Military Tract (frontier land given by Congress and the State to veterans of the Revolutionary War as payment for their services). This section had formerly been a hunting and fishing area for the Onondaga Indian Nation. Separated from Locke on April 26, 1831 as Plato, it was discovered that the name was already in use. On March 16, 1832, Plato became Summerhill, a name suggested by Irish settler Daniel J. Shaw, after a place near Dublin.”
