Here's where you'll find what's on tap in the taproom.
Narrowback
Narrowback is a term used to describe 2nd generation Irishmen by their parents who came to America through Ellis Island. Narrowback meant that this new generation wasn't as strong as their parents who had to carry the weight of the world on their backs. This beer, while produced here in America, is anything but weak. It boasts a heavy malt presence of dark and caramelized malts from the UK along with Noble European hops to balance out this delicious Irish staple. This deep cooper red ale comes in at 4.7% abv and 25 ibu's making it the perfect drink to connect both generations.

Paideia Pale Ale
Paideia for the Greeks meant the development of the perfectly well-rounded citizen. This single-hopped pale ale uses Citra hops and a blend of malts to create a bright aroma and flavors with little bitterness. We think you’ll find our Paideia to be perfectly well-rounded, capturing the essence of the Greek ideal.

Hegemony Stout
Hegemony, another name for imperial supremacy, is as powerful as its name implies. This imperial stout offers a chocolatey sweetness balanced with roasty notes from the dark malts and a slight bitterness from centennial hops. As your taste buds surrender to the strength and complexity of our imperial stout we believe you too will become a convert.

Ace In the Hole Stout
Using copious dark malts and a special base malt, Ace in the Hole pours opaque black, with the signature cascade effect from being dispensed with nitrogen. Black patent malt, brown malt, and roasted barley dominate the aroma. Mouthfeel is silken. Flavors of molasses and slight bitterness from English hops lead into a very dry finish, with almost no residual sweetness.

PRAVDA
Lancaster's Lager. The beer formerly known as 225 Lager. A brilliantly clear light straw color is the first thing one notices, followed by ample carbonation and an aroma of malty sweetness and earthy undertones. The flaked corn contributes to the flavor, which is dry but still just sweet enough. The Cascade hops fill out the flavor with earth and herbal spiciness. The perfect sipper, we challenge you to find an easier drinking lager anywhere.

Charter '77
This simple Czech-style pilsner is exactly the beer we want to drink. Using only pilsner malt, the beer pours bright straw yellow. It is also filtered for maximum clarity and crispness. The aroma that wafts off of Charter ‘77 is grapey malt and continental hops- Hallertau Mittelfrüh and Czech Saaz hops, to be exact- green tea, grass, and slightly earthiness. We fermented Charter ‘77 with our house lager strain and lagered it for a good while. The flavor is slightly sweet, grassy, earthy, with a smooth mouthfeel and pleasant carbonation.

Westminster Standard Ale
The next brew in our English Origins series is an easy-drinking, hop-forward pale English ale, which we’ve dubbed Westminster Standard Ale. The malt bill includes all the usual suspects- pilsner for the base and several kinds of caramel malt. In the boil, we used East Kent Goldings hops, the only real choice for such a beer, to provide lovely aromas of honey, spice, and mild earthy notes. WSA pours light copper and quite clear, with bright white head and adequate carbonation. We hope you enjoy our latest quaffable English ale!

Capo on Four
Brewed with equal parts dark Munich and Pilsner malts, this Marzen lager (also known as Oktoberfest or Festbier) pours a lovely amber color. Aromas of sweet malt and toffee dominate, with hints of lager yeast and grapes. The flavor is pure malty German lager along with touches of alcohol and bread. Pairs perfectly with a soft pretzel and mustard!

Food of the Gods Chocolate Porter
For the start of Food of the Gods, pilsner, chocolate, black patent, and a hefty amount of crystal malt produce a lovely deep brown color and sweet and slightly astringent flavors. A small amount of kettle hops balances all the sweetness. Liquid cacao is added to enhance the flavors from the dark malt and to give this beer its signature chocolate aroma and flavor. Sweet and syrupy without being cloying, Food of the Gods pairs well with your favorite dessert, or makes a great dessert on its own!

Orange Pollinator
Starting with a heavy helping of white wheat malt, a high mash temperature yields generous body to this light yellow beer. After additions of lactose and orange blossom honey for some sweetness and German hops in the kettle, we add orange puree during fermentation. Pouring with generous carbonation and the signature yeast haze, Orange Pollinator smells of orange, sweet wheat malt, and faintly of bananas from the German hefeweizen yeast strain.

Johnny Hammersticks
Johnny Hammersticks being the fourth release in the "Drinking Out of Cups" sub series presents hazy, juicy, and hoppy. Featuring Mosaic along with Citra and Simcoe powder, tangerine and apricot puree in addition to lactose aid to embellish the ridiculous amount of dry hopping.

Mr. Balloon Hands
Sometimes simplicity is best. This is not one of those times. Mr. Balloon Hands started life with malted oats, sour malt, and enough Citra and Mosaic whirlpool hops to make a hop farmer blush. After two criminally large dry hop additions of Nelson Sauvin and 84 pounds of peach puree, we arrive at this sour New England-style IPA, pouring a soupy straw yellow. Aromas of citrus, pine, lemon rind, and (duh) peaches are followed by pucker-inducing flavors of more peaches and overripe plums backed by slight sweetness.

Black Currant Stout
Our perennially popular Black Currant Stout seems to create very strong bonds with those craft beer drinkers who enjoy it. Starting with copious amounts of crystal and black malts, in a mash that is the largest of any St. Boniface beer, this stout packs a lot of flavor and aroma that isn’t fruity; coffee, baked goods, and chocolate aromas roll off of BCS as it is poured. After fermentation, we add 150 pounds of black currant puree. This gives our stout its signature flavor, of sour fruit, berries, and earthy bitterness. Opaque black color and tan head with lower carbonation round out the experience. We hope you develop a strong bond with Black Currant Stout some cold, snowy evening as well!
