Beaver Brewing Company – Nanobrewery

This Friday kicks off our Bartender Challenge 2019!  Each bartender designs their own beer, brews it, then taps it to drink at the brewery.   They then compete for the best beer!

Last years winner Matt brewed his “So Much Drama in the BBC” this year.  It’s an Gin and Juice inspired IPA with Juniper berries, sweet orange peel, lemongrass, orange zest, and a TON of Idaho 7 hops. 

Winner is decided by who has the highest rating on Untappd! 

The second entry into the Bartender Challenge Series of beer is made by Josh and called “Chingar Tu Sofá”, or “Fuck Yo Couch”. 

It’s a Mexican Chocolate Stout brewed with Cinnamon and Chipotle peppers.  Sweet with a nice smokiness on the back end.  Tapping all three beers tomorrow!

Last entry of our Bartenders Challenge is Jason with his “Beaver County Common”, a Kentucky Common Styled Beer. While it is the least sexy of our three beers, I will say it is my personal favorite. 

Super clean, easy drinking at below 5% ABV, tons of flavor, and in general, just a well done beer.  If you’ve never had a Kentucky Common they are kind of a cross between a brown ale, cream ale, and amber.

All three bartenders will be tapping their beers this week!

PULLED PORK FRIDAY! That’s right, we will be serving up food from the brand new Joe E’s BBQ at the brewery this weekend.

Slow cooked on the smoker for hours, this pulled pork is pretty much melt in your mouth. Full menu below.

We love to support small breweries making a name for themselves right here in good old Pennsylvania. The best way we can do that is buy their beer and share it with a new audience.

This weekend we are doing just that…showcasing over 30 different beers and ciders from across PA.

Ever been to Biglerville PA? We have, and we have beer from Biglerville’s own Thirsty Farmer Brew Works. On top of that, it’s an Apple Graff (Half beer, Half Cider). Did we mention it’s amazing?

We have beer from brand new and very small Wrong Crowd Beer in Philadelphia. They are making killer beer on a 15 gallon pilot system! Cranking out triple batches (we met them at 9pm on a Friday at the brewery) in a day just to (almost) keep up with demand…did we mention it’s an awesome NE IPA?

Plus we have cans…LOTS OF CANS. One of our favorites from last year, Zeroday Brewing Co. in Harrisburg is back with a Tropical IPA…and they ain’t kidding. Tastes like a hopped up Five Alive!

All the canned beer will be available Friday and most of the kegged beer. We are saving a few treats for Saturday when we have food from Big Dill Bistro! One of those treats is Molly Pitcher Brewing Company Peanut Butter Porter…ONLY a 4.02 rating on Untappd…ONLY.

We will also have the FIRST keg of Burd’s Nest Brewing Co. to be distributed outside of Carlisle!

Everything is VERY limited.

While beer is our specialty, we aren’t afraid to concoct some deviously delicious drinks as well.  This weekend we start our 2019 hot cocktail menu and everything is a $1 off!

Favorites like our Sinnabon, Andy’s Candy, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Coffee are back.  We even have a new Green Tea drink with Honey and Gin…perfect for cold season.

So bundle up and grab a warm drink this weekend!

We have some freshly canned beer heading over to Waffles Inc and the rest is staying on tap at the brewery.  Nelson Bluedela is a pale blueberry ale made with Nelson Sauvin hops.

We are also going to have more vegan food from at the big dill at the brewery on Saturday!

made with chocolate, cinnamon, and toasted marshmallows!  It’s back on tap for the new year and for this weekend only, growlers fills of this delicious concoction are only $12!

Friday the 21st we will have our Beermas Party!  Tapping four new beers!  And we are buying you a beer too!  Just bring something to share…can be some of your home brew, a hug, a hi five, a “Merry Christmas”, anything and we will buy your first beer!  Here’s what’s new that day:

Santa Juice – Aged in a Chardonnay Barrel with tart cranberries.

Just The Tip Too – Big Farmhouse Ale Aged in a Chardonnay Barrel.

Sour Berry Gibb – we added more blueberries and a blown kiss of sourness.

I.Pepper.A – Pale Ale brewed with Habanero Peppers.

We do our Pecan Pie Beer once a year for one day!  That’s it!  It will be gone by the end of the night on a Thanksgiving Eve.  We always recommend if you want a growler to get there early!  Sometimes we cut off growler fills as early as 8 pm.

This year we will also be serving food from The Big Dill!

Will there be more beer than just Pecan pie released?  Sure!  The Winter Beast shall be released upon the drinking public as well in two forms.  Rye Barrel Aged and Bourbon Barrel Aged.  One will be draft only, the other will be cans only.

To saitisfy the beer drinker looking for something lighter we will have Berry Gibb…a brand new super blueberry blonde.

This Friday we unveil The Big Dill!  Big Dill Vegan Cuisine will be opening and serving their vegan food in the brewery starting this Friday.  

We will be doing a soft opening with a Taco Night and have some nachos on hand as well.  

We won’t be serving food every night to start…In November we will at the very least have it this week and Pecan Pie night.

If you want to make sure they have enough food for you on Friday, (hey, it’s a soft opening, there will surely be some kinks to work through) drop a note here with how many people you think you’re bringing so the chef can plan ahead!  

More food items coming in the future but we wanted to start with small menus to make sure everything runs smoothly!
