Dad Jokes Pilsner
3.8% ABV
Easy drinking low-calorie Pilsner.
Roller Girl Belgian Blonde - sold out
5.3% ABV
Brewed with candi sugar for a touch of sweetness. Light bodied and crisp.
Beekeeper Honey Wheat Honey Wheat
5.5% ABV
Gizmo Gose Wild Strawberry Gose
4.3% ABV
Sometimes the best way to unwind is to get a little wild. This gose is a great place to start. First we kettle sour, using our house Lacto to lower the acidity to a tart & crisp 3.4 pH. Freshly crushed coriander and pink Himalayan salt complete the style. We didn't stop there. Ever the experimenters, we added loads of freshly pureed strawberries to add a fruity twist on a classic German sour. So pucker up; things are about to get wild.
Oktoberfest Märzen
5.5% ABV
A lager style brewed as an ale, this Oktoberfest has the traditional malt sweetness but without going overboard and is balanced by a slight bite at the finish. The body is full enough to back up the flavor experience but not become heavy. Brewed annually for Gizmo's Oktoberfest party.
Yeah Toast! French Toast Brown Ale
5.8% ABV
French Toast Brown Ale - This brown ale’s body is light but bready. Notes of maple syrup and sweet sugar meld with cinnamon and vanilla, creating an irresistible aroma and flavor. Yeah Toast!
6.1% ABV
A sexy, silky stout. Aroma recalls roasted barley and caramel. A smooth body on the lighter side for a stout. Enjoyable mouthfeel. Finishes on the sweeter side with noticeable chocolate flavor. Try with spicy foods, red meats, fruit-based desserts, and anything containing chocolate.

Double West Coast IPA
Double New England IPA brewed with Cosmic Punch yeast and Cardinal & Sabro hops

APIS
Honey Bun Pastry Stout
ABV: 8.0%
This stout has a thick, full and viscous body. Hundreds of Honey Buns were mashed and boiled, providing a creamy, pillowey backdrop. Massive amounts of Buckwheat and Wildflower honey were added to the whirl, melding the former’s chocolate woodieness with the later’s lingering rich, fruity notes. Meadowfoam honey was also added during fermentation, providing a nutty vanilla flavor reminiscent of marshmallow. The result is a symphony of sweetness that will leave your pallet buzzing.
Style: Honey Bun Pastry Stout
Available: Limited Availability
