104 Porter

ABV: 6.4%

# Ratings: 667
Score: 3.70
This brew is an unfiltered brown porter, which is perfectly balanced between malt sweetness, and smoke malt. Four distinct malts have been blended into this porter to give it a great body with characteristics of chocolate and caramel. This beer has a higher alcohol level coming in at 6.4%, but you would never know it. This porter is a very smooth brew to drink and very drinkable. Be careful with this one!

RPA - Republic Pale Ale is hop forward. Slight spice from the bittering hops with tropical notes in the aroma and flavor. Specialty hops would be Zythos or Falconers Flight, a new blend of tropical hops.

Ardent Concession IPA is an awesomely balanced IPA that has wonderful citrus aroma. You’ll find a slight bitterness of an IPA, but clears up quickly and finishes very clean. Flavors are of Grapefruit and stone fruit.

Ceres who tops the Vermont statehouse. She is the goddess of agriculture and grain crops. Ceres Brown Ale is an American brown ale. Caramel and roasted notes give way to floral and citric aroma. It has a bite in the beginning but dissipates quickly to give way to the malts of the beer. Our newest beer in the lineup.

This is a unique beer, typically wheat beers are very light, examples would be white beers, or any hefeweizen beers (minus the banana flavor). This has the great wheat flavors however incorporates darker malts to give it more flavor and character. You’ll find slight caramel and roasted notes, with a slight fruitiness from the hops. Very sessionable beer.
Kolsch Style Ale

This Kolsch style is made with an awesome Pils base malt from Peterson Quality Malts in Vermont. We combine that with yeast and hops from Germany to give it an authentic taste mixed with some local flavors. This beer is slightly sweet and light, with fruit notes, which makes this beer incredibly sessionable. Enjoy!

# Ratings: 104
Score: 3.68
This beer has the same malt makeup of our most popular beer the Ardent Concession IPA, however the hopping is different, the (FMA) stands for falconers flight, Mosaic, and Amarillo. So flavors will be tropical, Citrus, Orange. It has an apparent bitterness but a neutral one that allows the awesome hops highlighted shine through.
