Beverages
Growlers (1-liter Reusable Brewery Bhavana Growler Included)
Till : Bright & Tangy Farmhouse Ale
4.8% Traditionally brewed by farmers in the Wallonia Valley, a saison was made to sustain farmhands through the summer and harvest season. Our signature saison, Till builds its intricate, slightly tangy flavor from our house yeasts, light malts, Magnum, Hallertau, and Crystal hops. *Contains Alcohol$17.00Plow : Gracious Pale Ale
5.5% Our Take on America's favorite craft beer style is hopped with Citra, Mosaic, and Saaz. Bursting with peaches, melon, and Asian pear, it has a crisp but not-so-bitter finish. *Contains Alcohol$17.00Yield : Luscious Little Session IPA
4.5% Session ales were historically intended for long, afternoon drinking sessions, without the obvious ill effects of high alcohol. Yield combines that low ABV with the multifaceted hop character of an IPA. A honeyed backbone, from Pilsen malt, underpins its soft flavors of pine and citrus. *Contains Alcohol$17.00Grove : Sunny, Citrusy Double IPA
8% Brewed with a profusion of hops, Grove will take you on a long walk through a citrus orchard, dripping with clementine, grapefruit, and peaches. Its restrained upfront bitterness, like pith and peel, opens to reveal its juicy, tropical flavors: subtle, delicate, and surprisingly round. *Contains Alcohol$19.00Glean : Mango Peppercorn Saison
6.4% A subtle homage to Indian street food, this crisp, dry farmhouse ale defies the typical sweetness of fruit beers. Dried mango, added in fermentation, lends a tropical character to balance its bright spice. *Contains Alcohol$19.00Sow : Light & Easy Abbey Single
4.2% Bright and crisp, this ultra light beer is hopped with a single variety: the beloved Czech Saaz. One of the world’s four noble hops, Saaz is essential to many historical styles (most notably, the Pilsner). You’ll find it only slightly bitter with a mild, earthy flavor and faintly herbal nose. *Contains Alcohol$17.00Sprout : Sneaky Fig Dubbel
7.6% Whole figs gives this refreshing dubbel a tricky, sweet aroma and amber hue that belie its clean, dry finish. Oats in the mash help build its silken body and distinguish it from traditional dubbels. *Contains Alcohol$19.00Bloom : Dry Cardamom Tripel
8.1% This boundary-pushing, Belgian-inspired Tripel begins with the unique aroma of green cardamom and ends with just a touch of sweetness. Each sip is a shifting experience, as its spicy first impression unfolds to reveal fruity, floral undertones. *Contains Alcohol$21.00Wilt : Dry Belgian Quadrupel
9% The Belgian Strong Ale (or, more commonly, the ‘quadrupel’) is high in alcohol and malt richness. Ours begins with our house mix of barley malt, which cuts the beer’s traditional sweetness to unearth notes of plum, raisin, and dates. *Contains Alcohol$23.00Dig : Chocolate Rye Stout
6.4% The chocolate character in this complex stout comes entirely from black patent and chocolate malts. Unusually dry and fruity for the style, it pairs the earthy, peppery flavor or rye with the deep, dark flavors of dried fruit. *Contains Alcohol$19.00Vase : West Coast Style IPA
6.2% Intentionally off-trend, this pine-forward, dank, and transparent IPA is a welcome change of pace from our brewers. A simple malt bill with a touch of crystal malt defines its clean and clear straw golden color while traditional West Coast hops -- Amarillo, Simcoe, and Chinook -- lend resinous, citrusy flavors, with a distinctly dry finish. *Contains Alcohol$19.00Brisk : Bhavana Pilsner
4.2% The world’s most popular style is built, primarily, from Pilsen malt and Saaz hops: two of the lightest and cleanest beer ingredients. Our version sets itself apart with two important distinctions: it’s hopped with Crystal for a nuanced aroma and has just a touch of oats to build its body. *Contains Alcohol$17.00Piglette : Tart & Funky Grisette
4.2% Sour, bright, and downright easy, grisettes are the traditional Belgian table beer for summer: low alcohol, easy to drink, but chock full of flavor. Our version hits all the high notes, balancing a little tang with some Brettanomyces funk and all the gentle complexity of our house saison yeast. *Contains Alcohol$15.00
Bottled Beer
Rosette '22 : Rosè Ale (500mL)
12.1% This blushing, floral ale is modeled after sparkling French rosés. Hibiscus and rose hips lend soft aromatics to balance its rough bubbles and clean, dry finish. Aged over tart cherries, grapefruit zest, and raspberries, then blended with just a touch of our house sour culture, it takes us more than nine months to make. *Contains Alcohol$22.00Cellar Door #20 : BBA Russian Imperial Stout (750mL)
10.5% Aged in bourbon barrels for more than a year, then blended with a brand-new mole-inspired Russian Imperial Stout aged over ancho chilis, cinnamon, cacao nibs, and toasted almonds. Sip and savor this one. *Contains Alcohol$25.00Cellar Door #14 : Golden Wild Ale (Magnum 1.5L)
6% This beer was first fermented in our American Oak Foeder for our launch in 2016. It has been conditioning in Magnum bottles since 2020, waiting. Nine plus years in the making, it is a Brett-forward golden wild ale, bright, pleasantly sour and another gem to come out of our cellar. *Contains Alcohol$45.00Rosette '26 : Rose Ale (750mL)
$25.00
Canned Beer

Bloom : Dry Cardamom Tripel (8.1%)
(6 pack of 12oz cans) This boundary-pushing, Belgian-inspired Tripel begins with the unique aroma of green cardamom and ends with just a touch of sweetness.

(4 pack of 16oz cans) This wild beer begins with tropical fruit flavors but opens to something deeper and more redolent: summer-ripe peaches, melon, then oak. Aged for nine months in red and white wine barrels, it is mildly sour with a delicate body. *Contains Alcohol$19.00
Brisk : Bhavana Pilsner (4.2%)
(6 pack of 12oz cans) The world’s most popular style is built, primarily, from Pilsen malt and Saaz hops: two of the lightest and cleanest beer ingredients.

(4 pack of 12oz cans) A delicate blend of black tea and bright fruits. Lemongrass, hibiscus, lemon and grapefruit zest balance sweetness with a moody depth of flavor and THC. *Contains THC & CBD$21.00
Dig : Chocolate Rye Stout (6.4%)
(6 pack of 12oz cans) The chocolate character in this complex stout comes entirely from black patent and chocolate malts. Unusually dry and fruity for the style, it pairs the earthy, peppery flavor or rye with the deep, dark flavors of dried fruit. *Contains Alcohol$12.00Fallow : Witbier (5.1%)
(4 pack of 16oz cans) Styled after a classic witbier with orange peel, coriander, and chamomile, and brewed with Pilsner malt, flaked wheat and fermented with witbier yeast. Made in collaboration with Children’s Flight Of Hope with proceeds donated to Hops For Hope. *Contains Alcohol$15.00
Festbier : German Lager (5.6%)
(4 pack of 16oz cans) Crisp, dry, and shockingly familiar, with just a hint of malt flavor at the end, like sweet tea or great bread. Our Festbier gains its delicious body from our use of German Munich, Vienna, and Aromatic malts. Infinitely quaffable! *Contains Alcohol$15.00
Glean : Mango Peppercorn Saison (6.4%)
(4 pack of 16oz cans) A subtle homage to Indian street food, this crisp, dry farmhouse ale defies the typical sweetness of fruit beers. Dried mango, added in fermentation, lends a tropical character to balance its bright spice. *Contains Alcohol$13.00
Grove : Sunny, Citrusy Double IPA (8%)
(4 pack of 16oz cans) Brewed with a profusion of hops, Grove will take you on a long walk through a citrus orchard, dripping with clementine, grapefruit, and peaches.

Petal : Rosè Ale (4.2%)
(6 pack of 12oz cans) Delicate and bright, this rosé -inspired beer arranges a bouquet of hibiscus and rose hips with the tart fruit character of fresh raspberries and grapefruit in balance. *Contains Alcohol$13.00
Piglette : Tart & Funky Grisette (4.2%)
(4 pack of 16oz cans) Sour, bright, and downright easy, grisettes are the traditional Belgian table beer for summer: low alcohol, easy to drink, but chock full of flavor. Our version hits all the high notes, balancing a little tang with some Brettanomyces funk and all the gentle complexity of our house saison yeast. *Contains Alcohol$12.00
Pithy : Vic Secret IPA (7.4%)
(4 pack of 16oz cans) In the Elements of Style, we learned that conciseness requires not brevity but forcible expression; great art contains no unnecessary parts. Pithy is our concise IPA, featuring Vic Secret hops. You'll find a soft and bitter like orange pith with notes of pine. *Contains Alcohol$13.00
Plow : Gracious Pale Ale (5.5%)
(4 pack of 16oz cans) Our take on America’s favorite craft beer style is hopped with Amarillo, Mosaic, and Saaz. Special B and Biscuit malts give it an almost-amber hue and nutty, malt undertone. Bursting with white peaches, melon and Asian pear, it has a crisp but not-so-bitter finish. *Contains Alcohol$10.00
Pluck : American Pale Ale (5.5%)
(4 pack of 16oz cans) A throw-back Midwest-style pale ale with a bit of two-row and biscuit malt for a more stoic texture, hopped with Amarillo and Citra to balance bitterness and brightness in an otherwise polite finish. *Contains Alcohol$15.00
Radiant : German Style Kölsch (5.6%)
(4 pack of 16oz cans) Crisp, light, and refreshing - our German-inspired Kölsch is right in the heart of the style with a touch of textural Vienna malt. *Contains Alcohol$13.00Rosecomb : Golden Ale (5.4%)
(4 pack of 16oz cans) Made in collaboration with Rosecomb, this golden ale is made with flaked maize for an extra light, creamy texture and Amarillo hops for a subtle floral, citrus note. *Contains Alcohol$14.00Rosette '25 : Rosè Ale (12.1%)
(4 pack of 16oz cans) This blushing, floral ale is modeled after sparkling French rosés. Hibiscus and rose hips lend soft aromatics to balance its rough bubbles and clean, dry finish. Aged over tart cherries, grapefruit zest, and raspberries, then blended with just a touch of our house sour culture, it takes us more than nine months to make. *Contains Alcohol$21.00Saison Blanc '24 : Sauvignon Blanc Barrel-Aged Saison (6.6%)
(4 pack of 16oz cans) Born six months ago as our Till saison, this sharp and effervescent ale was aged in single-use white wine barrels to mimic the flavors of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. The barrels enhance its tangy, tropical overtones, adding aromatic layers of wood and fresh cut grass. *Contains Alcohol$19.00
Sow : Light & Easy Abbey Single (4.2%)
(6 pack of 12oz cans) Bright and crisp, this ultra light beer is hopped with a single variety: the beloved Czech Saaz. One of the world’s four noble hops, Saaz is essential to many historical styles (most notably, the Pilsner). You’ll find it only slightly bitter with a mild, earthy flavor and faintly herbal nose. *Contains Alcohol$10.00Sprout : Sneaky Fig Dubbel (7.6%)
(6 pack of 12oz cans) Whole figs gives this refreshing dubbel a tricky, sweet aroma and amber hue that belie its clean, dry finish. Oats in the mash help build its silken body and distinguish it from traditional dubbels. *Contains Alcohol$12.00Thicket : Fruited Dark Sour Ale (6.8%)
(4 pack of 16oz cans) We created a Dark Saison recipe with Ponysaurus fermented with our house Saison yeast. We then added blueberries, blackberries, cacao nibs and blended it with some of their barrel aged dark sour base. They did the same but used some of our dark sour base. The result is a complex fruited sour and dark Saison. Notes of sour candy, bittersweet chocolate, and dark fruit are most prevalent. *Contains Alcohol$19.00
Till : Bright & Tangy Farmhouse Ale (4.8%)
(4 pack of 16oz cans) Traditionally brewed by farmers in the Wallonia Valley, saisons were made to sustain farmhands through the summer and harvest seasons. Our signature saison, Till builds its intricate, slightly tangy flavor from our house yeast, light malts, Target, Hallertau and Crystal hops. *Contains Alcohol$12.00
Vase : Wast Coast Style IPA (6.2%)
(4 pack of 16oz cans) Intentionally off-trend, this pine-forward, dank, and transparent IPA is a welcome change of pace from our brewers.
