Signature Brews
Germantown Blonde
A light, easy drinking German Blonde Ale, straw yellow in color.  Similar in style to a Kolsh, this popular
favorite has more malt flavor and less hop bite.  Imported German malt as well as a special Alt
yeaststrain from Dusseldorf contribute to its incredible smoothness!
4.8% ABV, 16 IBU
Raspberry Mead-Ale
Brewed to emulate the Honey Meads of the ancient Celts.  80 pounds of whole raspberries
are used in each batch of this newly reformulated brew. Triple fermentation adds to
the complexity and subtleties of this tasty, but unusual beverage.
9.6% ABV, 9 IBU
$8.00, served by the wine glass only
*Back on Tap!!!!*
Sunset Red Ale
As our brewmaster dreams of the sun going down over the Pacific, this medium bodied, malty
Red Ale was his first brew at the General.  Caramel and toffee flavors blend with imported English
hops in this extra smooth ale.  Consistently one of our top sellers, the brewer spends a lot
less time dreaming of sunsets and more time trying to keep this beer flowing!
 5.9% ABV, 22 IBU
Pacific Pale Ale
A Western, American-style pale ale.  Drier, hoppier, turbocharged version of this house favorite.
Hops from the Pacific Northwest provide the distinctive citrus flavor.
A malty finish balances this incredible, quaffable ale.  Trying to catch the Sunset Red,
this has become one of our fastest selling beers (slow down people, I can't keep up!).
5.7% ABV, 37 IBU

Chocolate Thunder Porter

Dark, sweet, full-bodied and chewy, this is one robust Porter. Imported English malt, as well as plenty of black, chocolate, and crystal malts make for a great dessert beer. Chocolate and coffee flavors dominate this tasty brew.

6.7% ABV 22 IBU

RED VELVET
10 beers not enough for you? 
Try this sublime blend of our Sunset Red Ale and Chocolate Thunder Porter.
This combination has rapidly become a house favorite.

Cask Conditioned Ales
Try beer the way the Brits drink it!  Served at cellar temperature (approximately 55 degrees), the beer is unfiltered and undergoes natural carbonation and conditioning in the cask.  Due to the brewer's diligent struggle for beer nirvana, we now have a brand new, DOUBLE beer engine.  This should allow us to serve two distinct cask conditioned ales at all times - brewer's body willing.  Ask your server which styles of beer we are currently serving.  $4.00

Sampler Round
Four, 5-ounce samples of your choice - $6.00.  Additional samples just $1.50.
