Here are the beers now available at The Tap. Whenever applicable we have also added the beer's ranking on BEERADVOCATE.COM.  These are consumer rankings and puts our beers side-by-side with beers from around the world.

 

 

HaverAle
4.5% ab
v 18 ibu

Our award-winning cream ale is a true light colored hybrid ale/lager.  Ferments warm for a fruity nose and then stored cold for a crisp, dry finish.  A great introduction to what we do!

 "HaverAle cream ale is a light but substantial ale/lager alloy." The Boston Phoenix    

Presently ranks number 2 on BEERADVOCATE.COM'S Top "Cream Ale" category.

 

Leatherlips I.P.A. 
 5% abv, 50 ibu   
 

Hold onto your hats, or even better - your lips!  This beer is for hop-heads only.  Ripe with floral and citrus notes, our "India pale ale" is so packed with Centennial, Newport and Chinook hops it should be green (the color of hops). Hop to the challenge!  

 "...highly hopped-up American IPA that let the world know that New England can brew insanely hoppy beers, too!" Boston's Weekly Dig       
Named one of three "Memorable Beer Releases" of 2004 by the Beeradvocates column in Boston's Weekly Dig Presently this is one of two Tap offerings on BEERADVOCATE.COM'S Top 50 "American India Pale Ales" (numbers 7 and 9 as I write) and ranked in the Top 100 worldwide for all beers on BEERADVOCATE.COM'S Top 100 list.  Beeradvocate.com Reviews

Homerun APA
5.2%  abv, 30 ibu  

Want some hops but to still keep your taste buds intact?  This American Pale Ale is the choice for you.  WIth light floral notes and a good dose of Glacier hops, this well-balanced APA is a great step up if you want to graduate your palate.  It's also great with fried seafood and burgers.

 

 

Scapegoat Bock
6.6% abv, 26 ibu     

 

A traditional German dunkel (dark) bock brewed the old-fashioned way with dark Munich malts as the base instead of modern lightly kilned malts.  This lager is smooth and deep brown in color with just a touch of German noble hops to balance the flavor.

 

Whittier White
4.6% abv, 20 ibu


Cloudy because of the raw wheat used and yeast in suspension, this delicious ale is light, refreshing, a little bit tart and spiced with coriander, curacao orange peel, and a top secret brewing spice. This is our rendition of a Belgian wit and it's perfect on a hot summer day or with a bowl of mussels.

Cinco Lager
5.7% abv, 26 ibu

To celebrate our Fifth Anniversary as a brewpub we're releasing this special Mexican-style Amber Lager.  It was fermented with a bohemian lager yeast and aged leaving it very smooth and drinkable.  This style is a descendant of the Vienna Lager.

California Poms

5.4% abv, 11 ibu

A hazy American wheat beer with Pomegranate and Cherry concentrates giving it a delicious slightly tart fruit flavor and a hint of pink.  The high quality concentrates used come from California and are cold processed leaving all the antioxidants intact.

 

 

Patches Irish Stout

3.5% abv, 18 ibu

This is one tasty, smooth-drinking stout with delicate roasted aromas and flavors from three different dark roasted malts added to the mash.
