Squeezer
Dry-hopped kettle sour
A boat that was nearly too big for the Erie canal was known as a “squeezer”. This beer squeezes a lot of complex flavor into such an easy drinking beverage. We combine pilsner malt, Kolsch yeast and substantial amounts of hallertau blanc hops at the end of the boil. We then sour the beer in the kettle with lactobacillus, then add more hallertau blanc dry hops. The result is a beer with interesting white grape aroma and flavor that remains extremely refreshing due to the clean, tart finish.
Malt: Pilsner
Hops: Hallertau Blanc

The Escarpment
NY Pilsner
Brewed uniquely for our Lockport tap room location. The city of Lockport is named after the Erie Canal locks that were built to help canal barges cross the Niagara Escarpment. This pilsner, brewed with New York State Cascade hops, dry hopped with Simcoe, Mosaic, and Motueka hops, then painstakingly lagered for two months before serving, features flavors of mild white grape and passion fruit aroma with a light earthy flavor, snappy bitterness and a clean finish. This beer is made with (nearly) the same strength, pride, and ambition that made the locks.
MALT: Pilsner
HOPS: Simcoe, Mosaic, Motueka, NY Cascade, Warrior
ABV: 5.0%
Lockport Extra Special
English Pub Ale/ESB
Brewed for our Lockport tap room opening. This classic English-style pub ale is made with traditional English malts, hops, and yeast.

MALT: Maris Otter, Caramel
HOPS: Northern Brewer, Fuggle
ABV: 5.5%
HOODLEDASHER
HAZY IPA
Brewed for our Lockport tap room opening. A hoodledasher was a group of canal boats that were tied together and pulled by a pack of mules. This hazy IPA, brewed with Mosaic and Calypso hops, is bursting with flavors of honeydew, nectarine, and fruity pebbles.
MALT: 2-row, Carapils, Flaked Oats
HOPS: Mosaic, Calypso
ABV: 7.0%
CARROT CAKE
WINTER ALE
Brewed for our Lockport opening. Made with five varieties of barley, cinnamon, ginger, brown sugar, vanilla, milk sugar, and light amounts of carrot juice, this is one of the most complex beers we’ve ever brewed, and almost shockingly, tastes like the real thing. It’s liquid carrot cake.
