Staff picks from the keg wall 🍻

🍫 Brew York: S’more Tonkoko (Stout): gooey, chocolatey, marshmallow goodness. Dangerously moreish.
πŸ”₯ Delphic x Phantom: I’m Made of Wax, Larry (DIPA): big, bold, nostalgic. Like peak-era DIPAs done right.

Plenty of others. Taplist always live on website & Untappd!
