From Pittsburgh Brewing: (www.pittsburghbrewing.com)

Augustiner Lager Dark:

Augustiner Lager is a smooth amber lager that has no aftertaste. Due to the fact that it is suprisingly light, you can enjoy Augustiner all night long and not get filled up. Since its release in 1999, the reaction to Augustiner has been exceptional, allowing us to offer Augustiner in the 30-pack.

From Stoudt’s Brewery: (www.stoudtsbeer.com)

Stoudt’s Gold Lager:

Widely recognized as one of the finest German-style beers brewed in America, Stoudt’s Gold Lager is brewed with the finest 2 row, specialty malts and noble hops. A sociable beer, with a subtle balance of sweet malt and crisp, clean hops.

Scarlet Lady Ale:

This English-style ale is brewed with Marris Otter and Caramel malts for a rich and smooth malty palate. The use of bittering and aroma addition hops balances the regal, sweet, maltiness and imparts a softly perfumed aroma.

Stout’s Pils:

Reflective of the traditional German style, Stoudt’s Pils is delicately dry with firm bitterness. The Crispness of Saaz Hops and a dry malt finish make the Pilener an excellent aperitif.

American Pale Ale:

This uniquely American beer offers a crisp, medium body with a light amber color. Generous additions of Cascade hops provide a refreshing bitterness and vibrant citrus aroma.

From Victory Brewing: (www.victorybeer.com)

Hop Devil Ale:

Menacingly delicious with the powerful, aromatic punch of whole flower American hops backed by rich German malts. Hop Devil Ale offers a roller coaster ride of favor, coasting to a smooth finish that satisfies fully. Named “Beer of the Year” in 1999 by Malt Advocate.

Prima Pils:

Heaps of hops give this pale lager a bracing, herbal bite over layers of soft and smooth malt flavor. This refreshing combination of tastes makes Prima a classy quencher in the tradition of the great pilsners of Europe. Dry and delightful, this is an elegant beer.

Golden Monkey:

Strong and sensual, the giolden, Belgian style ale glows with goodness. The richness of German Malts and Belgian yeast are tempered by a sparkling approach and overall light body. Considerable depth of character with abundant herbal, fruity notes make this one to savor. Silver medal at the International Beer Competition UK 2004.

Victory Lager:

Perfectly balanced, this authentic version of a German helles-style lager satisfies gloriously. Lean, German malts and fine European hops offer subtle harmony. Grand Champion Dortmunder/Helles category: United States Beer Tasting Championships 2004

From Troeg’s: (www.troegs.com)

Hopback Amber Ale:

Packed full of whole flower hops, each batch of Hopback Amber Ale circulates through a hopback vessel creating a fresh, spicy taste witha rich caramel note. Voted best local beer 2006 by Philadelphia Magazine’s “Best of Philly’s”, Hopback is proudly crafted and celebrated as Troeg’s signature amber ale.

Rugged Trail Nut Brown Ale:

Designed as our session beer, Rugged Trail Nut Brown Ale is bronze in color with a velvety smooth taste and aubtle chocolate note. Rugged Trail’s lower alcohol content and subtle hoppiness make it the perfect beer to enjoy during the day and into the night.

Dream Weaver Wheat:

Long toasty days, cool breezy nights and a glimmer of magic inspires our dreamiest creation, Dreamweaver Wheat. Blending four wheat types with Vienna and Pils Malts, Noble Saaz Hops, and yeast that imparts a spicy, peppery, clove taste with a hint of banana, this golden, cloudy beer is an unfiltered draft of mouthwatering joy.

Pale Ale:

Troeg’s Pale Ale is the only beer with the Brewery name right on the logo. To the casual observer, this simple fact may not be given a second thought. But with generous amounts of Liberty and Cascade hops, an alluring bronze color and abundance of aromatics, our classic pale ale hardly goes unnoticed.

From Weyerbacher Brewing Co.: (www.weyerbacher.com)

Hops Infusion:

Hops Infusion is loaded with piney, citrusy notes, much hops complexity, and a strong foundation of malt underneath it all.. Glowing a deep amber color, Hops Infusion is brewed with seven types of hops. Simcoe, Magnum, Cascade, Liberty, Saaz, Fuggles and E. Kent Goldings give this beer the complexity that's so interesting. Our brewers intention on Hops Infusion was to create a complexity of hops flavor and aromas, not found in any other beer.

Black Hole Porter:

Coming in at an ABV of 7.0%, Our Black Hole satisfies the transition from dark ale to stout. We think of this as slightly "Porter-ish" with a strong malt body and a very light hop finish. This is brewed year round and is available in Pennsylvania in the regular Variety Pack. This will help the ale drinker among us maintain their own balance!

House Ale:

House Ale, our 4.5% session ale, was first brewed in 2006. Our goal was to brew a beer that was a little bit lower in alcohol, but did not lack for body and flavor. We're sure you'll agree, that's just what we achieved with this tasty brew. Brewed with Pale, Caramunich, and Carapils malt for flavor and body, then hopped exclusively with expensive Tettnang hops, a very delicate, delicious hops that perfectly fits this beer with just the right snap of flavor.

Imperial Pumpkin Ale:

Yes that's right! The mother of all Pumpkin Ales is currently in transit to our wholesalers and should be out on shelves around mid-September. This 8.0% ABV pumpkin ale is heartier, spicier, and more "caramelly" and "pumpkiny" than its faint brethren! Perfect finisher on a cool autumn night, or match it up with a slice of pumpkin pie and fresh whipped cream. If you don't agree this is the mother of all pumpkin ales, then you just don't like mothers!
