THE MENU:
Main Course:
1) Bourbon Barrel Aged Towpath 2020. Barges on the old Erie Canal were often pulled by beasts of burden along a Towpath, which were roadways alongside the canal. This bourbon barrel aged version of our imperial stout, which was originally brewed to commemorate our 200th batch, is a beast of a beer itself, clocking in at 10.1% ABV, and featuring a full-bodied, rich and roasty flavor, complemented by notes of vanilla and chocolate from the barrel aging process. This year's batch was aged in Willett bourbon barrels which emphasized the roastiness a bit more than previous years. $19.99 + tax / 12 oz 4-pack
The fixin's:
2) Rare 2020. This Rare version of our bourbon barrel aged imperial stout was aged in a single Heaven Hill barrel for a year before bottling by hand. The result provides an even smoother bourbon and oak finish to our rich and roasty stout. Maybe the best batch of Towpath ever. $8 + tax / 12 oz bottle
3) Double Barrel 2020. Aged first in an Iron Smoke Distillery bourbon barrel from Fairport, NY, before being transferred to a barrel previously holding maple syrup which had held Buffalo Trace bourbon before that. We then blended the finished beer with maple syrup. The result provides additional sweetness and complexity to our rich and roasty stout. $8 + tax / 12 oz bottle
For dessert:
4) Mudlarked. A boat on the Erie Canal was said to be mudlarked if it got stuck on the mud when the canal had too little water. This imperial stout, thick and dark as mud, is a wonderful winter treat. Brewed with 9 different malts, milk sugar, and cocoa nibs, enjoy this beer when you're ready to settle down for a while. Available in two different variants: Marshmallow and Peanut Butter. 10.0% ABV. $22.99 + tax / 16 oz 4-pack
Other side dishes (not pictured):
5) 2018 BBA Towpath. Our best vintage ever. Only a few bottles remain. Bottles for sale only, not available for tasting. $25 / 22 oz bottles.
6) French Vanilla Hazelnut Make Me Wanna Stout. Our coffee and cream stout aged on vanilla and hazelnut. Nuff said. Draft only, no crowlers available.
Festive fall beers that aren't stouts!
7) Sweet Potato Coconut. An amber fall ale brewed with house roasted sweet potatoes, toasted coconut, and milk sugar. Wonderful body, sweet and complex. Limited crowlers available. 6.7% ABV
8) Pumpkin Vanilla Chai. An amber fall ale brewed with fresh pumpkin, chai tea, and a subtle hint of vanilla. Festive, spicy, and fun. Limited crowlers available. 5.8% ABV
We hope you will join us, at least for a little while, this holiday season. Cheers.
