Foothill Hops

Gluten Free - Lite with flavors of apricot and apple. A bit of the “warmth of sunshine in winter.” Very limited production.

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.

Our brewer has an affinity for Belgian-style ales and we gave him free rein in the development of this beer which is smooth, boozy, and yet, bubbly. It is Alex’s beer. It is alcoholic! It is awesome. It is TRIPEL - A.

A deep coppery amber, very strong Belgian ale with a delicious blend of malt richness, dark fruit flavors, and spicy notes. Complex, rich, smooth, and dangerous.

100% NYS- Pilsener brewed with Sterling hops and pseudo-lager yeast. Light, fruity with notes of orange, peach and mango.

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.

100% NY - In response to customer request. Traditional German style hefeweizen with characteristic banana and spice flavors made with 100% NYS malt and hops and No BS.

100% NYS - Our flagship blonde ale with a gallon of local honey added to every barrel of beer. Features honey from Johnston’s Honey Bee Farm, our Perle and Cascade hops and NYS pale and Vienna malt.

Dylan’s “Dyrewolf” is a light and sessionable drink which, like the modern ‘direwolf’, is a hybrid … Part wheat beer, part IPA, This beer lives up to its name with a soft alluring apprearance, a deceptively sweet heart, and a bite at the end. Did you know that the Latin word for hops, humulus lupulus, means “wolf of the woods”?

100% NY SMASH - Uncle Max gets its tropical fruity character and subtle bitterness from Mackinac hops and from Kveik yeast which ferments fast and hot. After just three days, it is ready to condition and keg.

100% NYS - Easy drinking Irish red ale in honor of our reindeer Aran. Pale malt with specialty additions of caramel malt and roasted barley. Willamette hops provide just he right balance

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”.

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

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.

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.

Our take on a traditional dry Irish stout requested by our “Will Play for Beer” Irish musician friend. Low ABV but full of dark, rich malty flavor means you can toast your friends with more than a pint or two. Currently serving on CO2 because Kate prefers it that way.
