Beverages
Bhavana Beer To Go
Bloom : Dry Cardamom Tripel
Harkening back to Patrick's time in Kerala, India, this boundary-pushing, Belgian-inspired Tripel begins with the unique aroma of green cardamom and ends with just a touch of sweetness. Each sip is a shifting experience, as its spicy first impression unfolds to reveal fruity, floral undertones. (8.1%)
$15.00Boots 2024
$13.00Bounty: Barrel Aged Saison Sour Ale
Like natural champagne, this wild beer begins with familiar tropical fruit flavors but opens to something deeper and more redolent: summer-ripe peaches, melon, then oak. Aged for nine months in red and white wine barrels, then dry-hopped with Citra and Idaho 7, it is mildly sour with a delicate body.
$19.00Brisk : Crisp & Dry Pilsner
The world’s most popular style is built, primarily, from Pilsen malt and Saaz hops: two of the lightest and cleanest beer ingredients. Our version sets itself apart with two important distinctions: it’s hopped with Crystal for a nuanced aroma and has just a touch of oats to build its body. (4.2%)
$10.00Cart: Triple IPA
Juicy and tropical, Cart is an expression of everything we want but rarely ever find in Triple IPAs. Balanced bitterness, subtle strength, and mellow hop flavors. (9.5%)
$21.00Cellar Door #14 Magnum
$45.00Cellar Door #20 (750ml)
$25.00Cinder: Black IPA
$15.00Culti: THC-A Drink
$21.00Dig: American Dry Stout
The chocolate character in this complex stout comes entirely from black patent and chocolate malts. Unusually dry and fruity for the style, it pairs the earthy, peppery flavor of rye with the deep, dark flavors of dried fruit. (6.4%)
$12.00Elymus 2019 - Barrel Fermented Farmhouse Ale
$12.00Ember: Red IPA
$14.00OUT OF STOCKGlean: Mango Peppercorn Saison
A subtle homage to Indian street food, this crisp, dry farmhouse ale defies the typical sweetness of fruit beers. Dried mango, added in fermentation, lends a tropical character to balance its bright spice. Patrick first encountered chili-dusted mangoes while traveling with the Peace Corps and spent years refining this recipe to match his memory. (6.4%)
$13.00Grove: Sunny, Citrusy Double IPA
Brewed with a profusion of hops, Grove will take you on a long walk through a citrus orchard, dripping with clementine, grapefruit, and peaches. Its restrained upfront bitterness, like pith and peel, opens to reveal its juicy, tropical flavors: subtle, delicate, and surprisingly round. (8%)
$14.00Larkspur 2024: Bière de Champagne
Brewed each year in early March, this bright and effervescent bière de champagne slow-fermented for nearly eight months. Blended with our house sour culture, it has big, joyful bubbles, a mischievous spirit, and quiet tones of peach, pear, and citrus. (10.5%)
$13.00Petal: Rosé Ale
Delicate and bright, this rosé-inspired beer arranges a bouquet of hibiscus and rose hips with the tart fruit character of fresh raspberries and grapefruit in balance.
$12.00Piglette : Barrel-Aged Grisette
Subtly tart and easy to drink, Piglette is our signature wood-touched grisette: a low alcohol table beer blended with one perfect barrel of our house golden sour. It ends with a little Brettanomyces funk and the gentle complexity of our saison yeast. (4.2%)
$10.00Pithy: Vic Secret IPA
Pithy is our conscise IPA, featuring Vic Secret hops. You'll find them soft and bitter as orange pith, with just a touch of pine.
$13.00Plow: Gracious Pale Ale
Our take on America’s favorite craft beer style is hopped with Amarillo, Mosaic, and Saaz. Special B and Biscuit malts give it an almost-amber hue and nutty, malt undertone. Bursting with white peaches, melon and Asian pear, it has a crisp but not-so-bitter finish. (5.5%)
$10.00Ponyvana: Dark Fruited Sour Saison
A collaboration with Ponysaurus Brewing Co. to brew two beers together. Ponyvana and Thicket are each barrel-aged dark saisons but with their own distinctive ingredients. Ponyvana is based on our malt bill, featuring their farmhouse yeast blended with our foeder-aged house culture and topped off with raspberry, blackberry, and blueberry.
$21.00Proof

$13.00Rosecomb: Golden Ale
$14.00Rosette '22: Rosé Ale
$17.00Rosette 2023: Rosé Ale
This blushing, floral ale is modeled after sparkling French rosés. Hibiscus and rose hips lend soft aromatics to balance it's rough bubbles and clean, dry finish.

$19.00Service: Belgium Lager
$10.00Shade: Black Lager
$13.00Sow: Light & Easy Abbey Single
Bright and crisp, this ultra light beer is hopped with a single variety: the beloved Czech Saaz. One of the world’s four noble hops, Saaz is essential to many historical styles (most notably, the Pilsner). You’ll find it only slightly bitter with a mild, earthy flavor and faintly herbal nose. (4.2%)
$10.00Sprout: Sneaky Fig Dubbel
Fig puree gives this refreshing Dubbel a tricky, sweet aroma and amber hue that belie its clean, dry finish. Oats in the mash help build its silken body and distinguish it from traditional Dubbels. (7.6%)
$12.00Steep: Earl Gray Porter
$15.00OUT OF STOCKSurf: Mango Session IPA
$13.00OUT OF STOCKThicket: Dark Fruited Sour Saison

$19.00Till: Bright & Tangy Farmhouse Ale
Traditionally brewed by farmers in the Wallonia Valley, saisons were made to sustain farmhands through the summer and harvest seasons. Our signature saison, Till builds its intricate, slightly tangy flavor from our house yeast, light malts, Magnum, Hallertau and Crystal hops. (4.8%)
$10.00Trace: Imperial Stout
$19.00Vase: West Coast IPA
Intentionally off-trend, this pine-forward, dank, and transparent IPA is a welcome change of pace from our brewers. A simple malt bill with a touch of crystal malt defines it's clean and clear straw golden color while traditional West Coast hops - Amarillo, Simcoe, and Cascade - Lend resinous, citrusy flavors, with a distinctly dry finish.
$12.00Wilt : Belgian Quad
The Belgian Strong Ale (or, more commonly, the 'quadrupel') is high in alcohol and malt richness. Ours begins with our house mix of barley malt, which cuts the beer's traditional sweetness to unearth notes of plum, raisin and dates, (9%)
$17.00Yield: Luscious Little Session IPA
Session ales were historically intended for long, afternoon drinking sessions, without the obvious ill effects of high alcohol. Yield combines that low ABV with the multifaceted hop character of an IPA. A honeyed backbone, from Pilsen malt, underpins its soft flavors of pine and citrus. (4.5%)
