Alamere

West Coast IPA
6.7 ABV, 57 IBU

A super-smooth IPA, this piney-citrus monster was released on Father’s Day 2024.

Beehave

Honey Ale
5.2 ABV, 10 IBU

This beer is made with 100% New York grown ingredients! Barley, hops and lots of local honey are used to make this brew. This ale is light in color with a mellow honey flavor and a rich body. Catch a buzz.

Brambles

Raspberry Wheat Ale
4.8 ABV, 20 IBU

Nothing says summer like the smell and taste of fresh raspberries. We have captured that flavor in Brambles raspberry wheat beer. This beer uses NY grown barley and wheat malts and nearly 50 pounds of pure raspberry puree. Unfiltered and no preservatives like all of the Hopshire beers. Enjoy!

Haze in the Hollow

New England IPA
6.0 abv, ?? IBUs

Juicy. That is the best description for the new style of beer called New England IPA. True to style this beer is brewed with no hops in the boil. Then a boatload of Citra, Mosaic, Centennial and Galaxy hops are used after the boil and for dry hopping. The result is a beer with intense aroma and flavors of citrus and tropical fruits. You don’t have to wait in line for this beer at Hopshire and you can have a couple glasses at the bar.

Hoppenbeck Cider

Hard Cider
6.0 ABV

In collaboration with Hollenbeck’s Cider Mill in Virgil, NY we are proud to present our first hard cider. Using 100% Northern apples this cider is dry with great apple nose and flavor.

Ithaca is Oranges

Blood orange sour
5.4 ABV, 10 IBUs

Sour beer fans, this one is for you. This very tart kettle sour has a citrus kick from blood orange. Kettle sours are traditional in European beers and use lactobacillus to lower the pH of the beer. The name is our respectful nod to that other famous Ithaca slogan.

Lime Wedge

Lime Mexican Style Lager
4.6 ABV, 18 IBU

A Mexican style lager, this beer is brewed with lime peel to add the perfect amount of zest to your day. This smoother drinker is just perfect for hot summer days.

Middle Child IPA

West Coast IPA
ABV 7.0, IBU 25

Hazy like the foggy forests of the upper West Coast, this IPA is more juicy than bitter. Sweet and refreshing, it just wants to be loved. Just like all you middle children out there.

Near Varna

India Pale Ale
7.5 ABV, 74 IBU

A hop farm needs a big American IPA. We start with a solid malt base of pale and caramel malts and then add hops (a lot of them!) five times during the boil. We don’t stop there. We add to the serving tank in a process we call “Laced with hops”. Hopheads – find your NearVarna.

Ojala

Mexican lager
4.6 ABV, 18 IBU

Pronounced “oh-HALL-ah,” this light, crisp lager is infinitely drinkable on those long, hot summer nights.

Shire Ale

Scottish Ale
7.8 ABV, 30 IBU

A malty brown ale fermented with Scottish Edinburgh yeast. Flaked oats and six different barley malts including chocolate, dark crystal and amber malts are used in this rich tasting ale. Lightly hopped to let out the sweetness of the malt. A fun beer to make and a fun beer to drink.

Three Bells

Belgian Tripel
9.1 ABV, 19 IBU

Not your average Belgian ale, this brew is crisp, not too sweet, and rings in a complex, dry finish.

Beers in the Rear View

The following beers aren’t currently available, but you may have found them on tap in the last 6 months.

Boggled

Cranberry Saison
8.0 ABV, 9 IBU

At the first tasting of this beer our customers expressed the following words: WOW!, tart, beermosa, fruity, yummy. The crisp, dry flavor of 100% pure cranberry juice is balanced by the fruity flavors of Belgian Saison yeast and a dash of orange peel. This delicious beer will complement your Thanksgiving meal or stand alone as a meal on its own. Drink up, Pilgrims.

coHOPeration

Fresh Hop Ale
6.8 ABV, 60+ IBU

A mix of hops from 30 local growers dominates this fresh hop ale. The malty foundation includes pale, Munich, carapils and a little dark crystal. The hops were mostly Cascade but we also received Centennial, Nugget, Williamette, Chinook, Cluster, Newport and some mystery hops. These hops were added to the boil as wet hops… over 40 pounds of them. Then we dry hopped with more Cascade and Centennial hops. The result is a taste that is power packed with citrus, grapefruit and puckering tartness. Too hoppy??? Don’t blame us. You grew the hops.

Grapefruit Pale Ale

Pale Ale
5.2 ABV, 24 IBU

Starting off on a path of rich and bold, this shapeshifter finishes with a refreshing grapefruit zest.

Hamlet of Varna

Session IPA
5.0 ABV, 45 IBU

To hop or not to hop….., This IPA is refreshing and lower in ABV so you can enjoy more of it. Only light grains, pale, Vienna and Pilsen malt are used. The hops are a combination of west coast Mosaic and NY grown Cascade for both the boil and dry hopping. The taste is bitter sweet with a fruitiness contributed by the Mosaic hops. Hop on your lawnmower and put a pint in the cup holder.

Kettle Belle

Kettle Sour
5.4 ABV, 10 IBUs

This brew is a traditional European style of sour ale that uses lactobacillus to sour the wort prior to boiling. The result is a beer that is clean, tart and fruity that is extremely refreshing in hot weather. During the boil lemon peel and lemon grass are added to complement the tartness of the beer. Get a good summer workout than grab a kettle belle.

Porch Side

German Pilsner
5.1 ABV, 26 IBU

Crisp and mildly hoppy, this Ithaca take on a German Pilsner lets you kick back in the summer shade.

The Barley Stone

Irish Dry Stout
4.5 ABV, 32 IBU

True to the Irish heritage of this beer style we have used 40 pounds of unmalted, roasted barley in the grain bill. Roasted barley provides the nose and taste of dark roasted coffee, then this dark ale is lightly hopped with New York Willamette and British Kent Goldings varieties. You will bend over backwards enjoying the Barley Stone.

Zingabeer

Belgian Pale with Ginger
8.0 ABV, 18 BU

Unlike any beer you have had. Pilsner, Munich and Belgian malts form the base for this beer which is fermented with Belgian abbey ale yeast. Fresh, grated ginger grown locally at Good Life Farm is added to the boil. Delicious with Thai food.
