Get Your Kicks on Route 46

Historically known as a "steam beer," that uniquely uses lager yeast fermented at ale-like, warmer temperatures. This process creates a lager with ale qualities. A light amber color with caramel malt flavors and a firm, woody hop bitterness. The style originated in late 19th-century California due to a lack of refrigeration and is characterized by its clean, crisp, and easy-drinking profile.

First Day of Fall

100% NYS - We had extra freshly picked hops, so our brewer Alex made his own version of a fresh hop ale. With a little more malt character, a double dose of hops, and the same crisp effervescence of our Last Day of Summer, this beer refreshes like a session brut IPA. Similar grape undertones with a boost of hoppiness.

Rising Souls - Ale with Pumpkin and Spice
Mahogany Dark Lager

100% NY: Rich and malty flavors of caramel, dark toast, semi-sweet chocolate and coffee. Deceptively drinkable with medium body and a crisp, refreshing finish typical of lager styles. A new crowd favorite on the dark side.

Rudy Bourbon Barrel Aged Red (2025)

Our flagship Aran's Red aged 6 months in an Old Home Distillers Bourbon barrel. Our holiday favorite may make your nose glow!

Lighten Up

100% NYS - American blonde ale featuring Cascade and Perle hops and West Coast ale yeast. A little lighter in ABV than our KUNGFU, this was a Larry-FU with serendipitous results.

Bear Path

100% NYS. Full bodied American brown ale with smooth cocoa and coffee flavors. Willamette hops for bitterness and chocolate malt have led this favorite to be nicknamed "Hop Cocoa".

Charlie Brown

100% NYS - We thought just a hint of peanut butter flavor would be a perfect twist on our Bear Path Brown Ale.

Iron Horse Porter

100 % NY - One of our most complicated brews made with 8 different malts and 3 different hops, this malt-dominant English-style dark ale presents characteristic coffee flavors with a hint of hop bitterness in the finish. Like vanilla porters? Ask us for a smidgen of vanilla powder.

Stone Quarry Oatmeal Stout

100% NYS - In honor of the Clark family who operated Munnsville Limestone south of our property. Soft mouthfeel, deep dark color, rich coffee flavor and firm finish are characteristic of oatmeal stout. We think we hit the stone on the head.
