2025 Damien Barley -12.4%

This rich, bold barleywine boasts deep, dark autumn hues and a nose of toasted coffee, burnt sugar, and aged oak. The first sip reveals a perfect balance of sweet caramel malt and smoky bourbon barrel character, with subtle charred wood and warming alcohol

notes. Smooth and comforting, it lingers with a complex depth from its time spent aging. Limited in production, this beer is perfect for slow sipping on cool evenings.

Hamachi Poke

White rice, avocado, poke dressing, cucumber, radish sprouts, spacy aioli, crispy wonton eel sauce, micro greens.

2025 Lumber Thunder - 11.4%

Imperial brown ale aged in three bold whiskey barrels and finished on French Oak staves. Notes of toasted nuts, caramel, oak, and soft rye spice echo through this deeply warming, wood-kissed pour.

Grilled oak wood Tri-tip

arugula cilantro chimichurri with fresh grilled baguette.

2025 Gooey Valves - 13%

A long-awaited collab with the ultra-hyped Horus Aged Ales, Gooey Valves was born from a playful overload of Muscovado, Turbinado, and brown sugar that sealed our kettle shut. Aged in McKenna and Elijah Craig bourbon barrels, it’s a decadent barleywine that balances indulgence with spirit-driven depth.

-Smokey duck confit

Crostini with Parsnip puree and reduction of the beer, micro greens.

2025 Tonne Troll -13.8%

Brewed with Norway’s acclaimed Lervig, this stout was built on a hearty malt bill with rolled oats and aged a year in Pikesville rye whiskey barrels. Dark, rich, and mischievous, Tønne Troll (“barrel troll”) channels Nordic folklore through Firestone Walker craft

with mashed potato & red wine demi-glace sauce, micro greens

2025 Midnight Merkin - 11.1%

A luxurious stout aged 18 months in bourbon and rye barrels. Vanilla, cocoa nibs, and almonds swirl into rich layers of oak, spice, and dark chocolate decadence
