Barrel-Aged Sour Ale (seasonal)
$10.00
Almanac's signature farm-to-barrel sours rotate by season — tart, funky, and fruit-forward with the kind of complexity you rarely find outside a dedicated sour program
Hazy IPA (rotating)
$9.00
Soft, pillowy West Coast-leaning hazies that balance tropical fruit and resinous hop bitterness without going cloying — reliable and well-made
Beer flight
$18.00
The best way to survey the rotating tap list — typically 4–6 pours covering the sour, farmhouse, and hoppy categories
