The Fall tap list is finally here and as one of the brewers (yes, I brew and blog), I can confidently say this is one of the strongest line ups of beer we have this year. We have a wide variety of ales along with two crushable lagers. Let’s dive into it. Starting off with the first line, a fresh batch of Weekday Light Lager has been tapped and it is flowing. At 3.5% ABV, this lager is incredibly light and drinkable. This brew features pleasant citrus, fruity & slightly spicy hop notes balanced by a light, honey-like sweetness for the perfect combo of flavor and easy drinking. A great mid week treat… hence its’ namesake. Tap line two features our IPL (India Pale Lager), Knuckleball, which drinks like a lager but boasts a bright grapefruit, tropical fruit, and citrus hop character. A great light lager that scratches the IPA hoppy itch. Taps three, four and five are reserved for our hop heads. Wicked Hoppah NEIPA is a CSB staple. Full of fruity hop flavor with a sweet malty body that makes for a balanced, satisfying brew. A classic New England IPA that is more smooth than hoppy-bitter. The next beer on the list is on the other end of the IPA spectrum, 1-Way SMaSH IPA. A personal favorite, this single malt and single hop West-Coast IPA has a ton of firm northwest hop presence and aromatics. Unlike Wicked Hoppah, 1-Way has a light, crisp body paired with strong hop flavor. A simple, delicious beer. Rounding out the three hoppy brews is Witch of Wallingford NEDIPA. Our famous New England DIPA is is characterized by intense fruity aroma and flavor with a smooth hazy malt base. The witches’ brew is a great choice this time of year! Now onto the more malt forward side of the taplist. As always, our flagship beer, Lucky #19 ESB, is on tap line six. Rich in texture with a subtle toffee finish from additions of brown sugar, this is a fantastic cold weather beer. Tis’ the season for fest ales and that is exactly what we have tapped on line seven; Walltoberfest. This annual Fall classic is malt-forward, slightly roasted with a clean finish. This dark amber beer tastes how a flannel shirt feels on a crisp Fall day… comfortable, smooth and toasty! On tap and in cans with optional cinnamon sugar rim! Another CSB classic has returned to the taplist, Charlie Brown English Brown Ale. This traditional english brown ale is medium bodied and smooth with a roasted-nutty malt flavor with a hint of chocolate. A great brown ale to enjoy outside! Speaking of pumpkins in the taproom, Hiatus Pumpkin Wheat Beer is our ninth beer on the board and is another great seasonal choice. Light bodied with refreshing notes of pumpkin, this brew will definitetly put you in a Fall state of mind. A great beer to pair with our cinnamon sugar rim! If you are still hanging onto summer then our last beer on tap is for you. Strawberry Street NEIPA is our fruit infused New England IPA that we loaded with fresh strawberry and Belma hops. A refreshing, delicious brew full of tasty strawberry flavor!
