A few new ones from Southern Tier....


Limited!


Southern Tier 2X Steam....$10.99 / 6pk
Keeping in the tradition of the 19th century California brewers, we use a lager yeast to ferment 2X Steam.  Historically, this style is fermented at higher temperatures than a typical lager and that is just how were brewing our version.  The birth California Common style is rooted in the Victorian age.  We use the technocolgy of today to replicate what may have been, much like steampunks.  Of course in that way, we have to twist things up a bit.  As is with our 2x line of beers, 2xSteam is turned up a few clicks to be over 8%ABV.  An unusual take on an unusual style.  


Southern Tier Plum Noir....$7.99 / 22oz
Plums are a diverse group of species, with somewhere between 19 & 40 varieties depending upon whom you ask. We’re using what we consider to be the best to brew with. the Italian plum has beautiful dark skin & the flesh is perfect for fermentation. Plum Noir’s mild sweetness is derived no necessarily from the many malts we use. A bit of plum flavor is present as well as earthy, toasted grains, & hints of caramel with mild coffee overtones.
