On Tap
Benny's Bier
AKA Unhinged Kolsch
Unhinged /ənˈhinjd/ adjective; 1) highly disturbed, unstable, or distraught 2) mentally unbalanced; deranged
A light to mid- bodied beer with a subtle fruitiness and a slightly dry finish. The malt profile is slightly biscuity, while the Hallertau Blanc hops contribute floral and subtle fruity notes providing the customary balance between hops and malt of the style. As is typical of Kolsch, this is a crisp, easy to drink beer at 5.4% ABV and 21 IBU with a pale straw color.
Craiceáilte Irish Red Ale
Craiceáilte /crack-AWL-cha/ adjective; crazy, loony, zany
Slightly maltier than many Irish red ales, Craiceáilte has moderate caramel notes and drifts toward toffee, yet isn't overly sweet and dries out at the end. It is a mid-bodied beer with moderate carbonation. 4.4% ABV and 24 IBU, and pale to deep amber in color.
Gonzo a classic Irish Stout
Gonzo / gŏn′zō ˈ/ adjective; crazy, excited, or unrestrained; extreme, unconventional, or bizarre; using an exaggerated, highly subjective style, as in journalism
A delightfully dry brew with notes of coffee, chocolate, and caramel, Gonzo finishes with that characteristic touch of dry-roasted astringency. The beer is black with a tan head. For all of its complexity of flavor, this is an easy drinking beer at 4.5% ABV and 32 IBU.
Verrückt Maibock / helles bock 
Verrückt /ver-rückt/ adjective - German - crazy
A medium bodied helles bock with lightly toasted and subtly bready malt character, Verrückt is moderately sweet and has just a hint of spicy dryness. The hops are moderate with a slight floral and herbal tone. 6.4% ABV, 18 IBU, and a golden color. Lighter than other bock beers, this still carries more body and alcohol than many German lager styles.
