Now on Tap - Belgian Witbier

Introducing our first ever Witbier. A Belgian style that's very pale & cloudy due to it being unfiltered and the high level of wheat that's used in the mash. Always spiced, generally with coriander & orange peel (we used Grains of Paradise as well), ours is crisp with a slight twang from the wheat and the unique Belgian ale yeast used for fermentation. This is refreshing and thirst-quenching with tons of juicy flavor with a hint of spice. It's delicious!

Brewer's specs:

Malt: Pale 2-row, biscuit, malted white wheat & unmalted wheat

Hops: German Hallertauer & Czech Saaz

Spices: Coriander, orange peel, Grains of Paradise

OG 10.8 Plato

4.7% ABV

Now on Tap - St. Elizabeth Belgian DIPA

Introducing our first ever Belgian double IPA. We took our hefty double IPA and dosed it with Belgian yeast for an incredible balancing act of bitter, sweet, fruity & earthy. Clocking in at 10% ABV, this beer is hoppy as hell without being overpowering thanks to the hefty malt backbone and addition of honey to the boil. This beer is exactly what it sounds like - if you're a fan of hoppy Belgians like Houblon Chouffe or Tank 7 you're really going to enjoy this!

Brewer's specs:

Malt: pale 2-row, Vienna, malted white wheat

Hops: Colombus (added at 10 different times from start to finish)

50 pounds of local honey added to boil

Fermented with 2 different Belgian ale yeasts

SG 23 Plato
10% ABV

Now on Tap - Lunch Pale Ale

Introducing our new "Lunch" Pale Ale, a delightfully hoppy, yet highly quaffable pale ale. Pale 2-row, Vienna, Biscuit & Crystal malts create the sturdy backbone for this well-balanced ale which is hopped using only English East Kent Goldings & Styrian Goldings. If you're a fan of our Newcomb's IPA, but looking for something just a little a bit lighter, this is the beer for you.

OG 10.5 Plato

4.5% ABV

Now on Tap - BBB

In celebration of 13 years of McCoy's Public House we're proud to present a new batch of our popular Anniversary Ale known as Triple B. We hopped this badboy with a blend of Pacific Northwest (Chinook & Horizon), English Fuggle & German Hallertauer hops for a dominant hop profile, while creating a balance of the citrusy American hop qualities and the spicier, more floral notes of European varities. It's then dry-hopped for an even stronger hop aroma. Clean malty sweetness is found in the background, while some fruitiness, either from esters or hops, is also prevalent. This big, bold & beautiful beer defies classification sitting somewhere between an Old Ale, ESB & Barleywine.

Brewer's specs:

Malt:
78% Pale 2-row

9% Crystal

9% CaraPils

4% Melanoidin

Hops:
Whole leaf Chinook added to mash
Fuggle added to first wort
Horizon & Hallertaur for 90 minutes
Fuggle & Hallertaur for 60 minutes
Hallertaur for 10 minutes
Fuggle & Hallertaur at whirlpool
Dry-hopped with Fuggle

OG. 23 Plato

Now on Tap - Farmhouse Ale

Introducing our first ever Farmhouse Ale. Traditionally brewed in the winter to be enjoyed in the summer months, this is a cloudy Belgian-style ale with a bold earthy yeast flavor, mild hop profile and just a touch of sweetness. It is dangerously easy to drink considering it weighs in at 7.1% ABV. See you on the patio!
