HAPPENINGS

It’s Friday, Frederick.🤘🏼Meet, Taste The Biscuit, our new Honey Lager dropping today, just in time for the Happiest Hours. Smooth, sophisticated, but can get unruly with overindulgence. 

Taste the Biscuit - 

Brewed to showcase rich malt character with a touch of local sweetness, Taste the Biscuit is a smooth, golden honey lager built on premium ingredients. A base of Pilsner and Biscuit malt from Gambrinus Malting creates a crisp, bready backbone with warm toasted notes that live up to the name. Honey malt from Bear Branch Malt layers in gentle caramelized sweetness and a soft, graham-cracker aroma.

The finishing touch comes from real local wildflower honey sourced from Hays Apiary, lending a delicate floral sweetness that ferments clean while leaving a subtle honey aroma in the finish.

The result is a balanced lager with notes of fresh bread crust, light toast, and a whisper of honey.

At 5.7% ABV, it’s just enough to get you places, but not a ride on a wild horse. This stallion shows up where it’s important, built for an all day ride.

Open til 11p, with all the fun, food, cocktails, brews, and music. 

See you soon, Frederick. 🤙🏼 Cheers 🍻

It’s back, you fiends. Shamrock Shake drops on Saturday for St. Pats 🍀 Weekend. You McD fanatics that prefer your shakes boozy, are in for a real treat. But, there is only one keg, everybody knows the rules. Uno, no mas. So, get here. Be nowhere else.

Shamrock Shake Smoothie Seltzer 6.5%
Creamy dessert vibes in this playful seltzer inspired by the classic shake. Cool mint leads the way, followed by smooth notes of white chocolate and sweet vanilla soft serve. Creamy and light, it delivers a nostalgic mint-vanilla swirl with just the right touch of sweetness, finishing bright and refreshing rather than heavy. All the St. Pattys Day Vibes🍀. If you aren’t Irish, you will be. 🇮🇪

Open at 11 Tomorrow with a few St Pats drops, plenty of merch, and some special menu items from DOP Pizza. See you soon, Frederick. Cheers 🍻

It’s Friday. And, Dublin Drop is back today, just in time for Happy Hour. If you can drink four of these, we should probably write your name on wall somewhere. At 10.2% ABV, we aren’t expecting a goodbye. 🇮🇪🍀🇮🇪

Dublin Drop is born with a Maris Otter stout base, conditioned in Jameson soaked Oak Spirals, with an added touch of Irish Cream. Extremely smooth, a bit silky, and packs a Connor McGregor punch. 

It’s that time of year that the “car-bombs” flow, so we figured we’d just drop it in a can for you.

Food, games, drinks til 11! 

See you soon, Frederick! Cheers 🍻

Final drop. 👌🏼 In collaboration with our friends at @sapwoodcellars - we bring you, Double Cross. 

Your Friday is about to get fun. 🤩 8.1x More fun. 

Double Cross- 8.1% Double Hazy IPA

Brewed alongside our friends at Sapwood Cellars, Double Cross is a saturated Double Hazy IPA built around the punchy pairing of Mosaic Cryo and Southern Cross hops.

Mosaic Cryo leads the charge with explosive berry character, while Southern Cross layers in bright tropical notes of passionfruit, pineapple, and a subtle citrus-lime twist. The result is a bold wave of juicy fruit up front, wrapped in a pillowy, hazy body from the use of Riverbend Malt.

As it finishes, a smooth, candied hop character emerges—think tropical fruit gummies with a light resinous snap—balanced by a soft, rounded bitterness that keeps it dangerously drinkable.

Another Friday drop with our good friends over @liquidityaleworks . Back and better, Czechs and Balances is here to close out the cold weather with this dark lager style. 

On the palate, it strikes perfect harmony — smooth and malt-forward yet remarkably balanced. Soft sweetness up front gives way to gentle noble hop bitterness, keeping the finish clean, crisp, and drinkable. Medium-light in body with a velvety lagered smoothness, it’s dark in color but never heavy.

At 5.5%ABV it’s just enough to shake the cold, but not so much to give you whiplash. 

Open til 10p and ready for some Yard games on this rainy day. 

See you soon, Frederick! 😉 Cheers 🍻

What’s your Friday lookin’ like? Deadstar drops Friday at our Collab Drop and Brewers Meet N Greet, with our good friends at @guilfordhallbrewery joining us and we couldn’t be more pumped about this smooth and traditional Westie. 🤙🏼

Deadstar 7.2%— West Coast IPA

In collaboration with Guilford Hall Brewing, Deadstar showcases a clean, crisp backbone that lets hops take center stage. We dialed up the punch with Mosaic and Nectaron hops — a dynamic duo that delivers vibrant tropical fruit character with layers of juicy nectarine and citrus zest. Aromas of grapefruit and orange peel mingle with subtle resinous pine and floral notes, leading into a firm but balanced bitterness and a dry, refreshing finish. It’s a hop-forward celebration of classic West Coast IPA intensity with a modern fruit-driven edge. Featuring Riverbend Malt this beer is perfect for hop lovers who crave crisp drinkability, bold aromatics, and the bright flavors that define this West Coast favorite. 

Available on draft and in 4pks, but you’d better hurry. This one is 🏆.

See you soon, Frederick! Cheers. 🍻
