When you have a restaurant full of old toys, you must have a master of toys! We do and we named our second version of a west coast style IPA after him.

Toy Master
American IPA, 6.5 %ABV, 63 IBUs

This West Coast IPA is packed with flavor using over 3 ½ lbs of hops per barrel and brewed with California-grown barely. A rounded malt profile is complemented by a smooth bitterness. This is backed up with loads of hop flavors including citrus and pine. Double dry hopped with Simcoe to round out a complex hop profile. As much to discover as there is toys on the walls

Weekend special beer alert! Sozzled Skipper’s Pale Ale served on cask! Cask ale is a beautiful English tradition that we are dead set on teaching Scranton about. Cask ale isn’t a style of beer but rather a form of serving beer that allows for different qualities of the beer to shine. It’s the closest one can get to drinking beer directly from the brewery itself.

What is it?

Fresh beer is added to the cask where it is setup to go through a secondary fermentation to self-carbonate (without exploding…). When the cask is ready to be served it is placed on its side to allow the yeast to settle on the bottom. The beer is pulled over the settled yeast and out of the cask physically with the use of a beer engine. The action of the beer engine creates a frothy head similar to a nitro pour.

How does this translate to a fresher taste?

The majority of beer flavor comes from the yeast fermentation. When the beer is pulled from the cask right over fresh healthy yeast, the drinkers get to experience the freshest version of that flavor which is fruity and all kinds of delicious!

What beer do we have on cask this weekend?

Sozzled Skipper’s Pale Ale
English Pale Ale, 4.9%ABV, 28IBU

Balanced and sessionable. There’s no harm in getting a little sozzled after a long days work! This English style pale ale is moderate in alcohol and bitterness. Rounded with a nice malt flavor and a touch of roast. The hops and yeast combine to create a delightful fruitiness that makes this a really enjoyable session beer!

Get some while supplies last.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!! To celebrate, we did what we know how to do- brewed beer. A Mexican lager brewed with the finest ingredients and fermented with yeast developed at Modelo.

Mart-dello Mexican lager
Mexican lager, 4.4% ABV, 20 IBUs

If there is one beer that makes you think of summer, it’s the Mexican lager. Brewed with light malt, American corn, and American Crystal hops for that ultra refreshing crispness one needs for those hot days. Fermented cold with a Mexican lager yeast. Good with and without a lime! Marty approved.

Sammy the able-bodied seaman has arrived home and we’ve got just the beer for him!

Able-Bodied Altbier
Altbier, 5%ABV, 45IBUs

Copper-brown color, lacey-white foam, and a bitter-sweet finish. Any able-bodied seaman would be happy with such a beverage. This altbier is an ale that is crisp like a lager but flavorful like an ale. Slight toasty notes and hop bitterness rounds out the flavor of this refreshing spring brew! It’s essentially Germany’s version of a brown ale.

We’re down here celebrating 75 years of Scranton business and having a blast! Not the most glamorous firkin tapping but it’s tapped and delicious!

If you’ve never had fresh cask conditioned beer pulled through a beer engine, then you should because it’s truly one of the greatest enjoyment of the beer world! What’s on tap?

Sozzled Skipper’s Pale Ale
4.8% ABV, 28IBU

There’s no harm in getting a little sozzled after a long days work! This English style pale ale is moderate in alcohol and bitterness. Rounded with a nice malt flavor and a touch of roast. The hops and yeast combine to create a delightful fruitiness that makes this a really enjoyable session beer!

Is it possible that it’s too nice out? The outside dock bar is open tonight and tomorrow night and we have an amazing selection of craft beer available! But we’re most excited about our new dock-exclusive releases! Becky and Mary having been enjoying the sunshine with our house made seltzer, Mermaid Bubbles, and our Back of Da Crab Shack Pale Ale!

These beers will be available while the outside bars are open!

Mermaid Bubbles
Hard Seltzer, 5.5% ABV

If a mermaid breathes underwater and no one’s around to see, do they make bubbles…? This hard seltzer is pink, bubbly and beautiful. Lo-calorie spritz with a touch of fruit flavor and pleasant notes of mineral water. We hope this one will be a summer favorite all season! This version is a mild Cherry flavor!

Back of Da Crab Shack Pale Ale
American pale ale, 5.5% ABV, 42 IBUs

Our second version of a classic American pale ale using classic American hops. There’s a secret place to drink but it’s a secret… This pale ale features citrus and floral notes with a sturdy malt backbone and pleasant bitterness. Cascade and Amarillo hops combine for a perfect flavor pairing that can never go out of style! The type of beer that American craft beer was founded on.

If you love dark beer, you love dark beer anytime… We’ve been aging a special beer all winter long in the cellar; and when the time is right, the time is right!

Dark East Seas
Baltic Porter, 9.5%ABV, 36IBUs

In Germany, they call it the East Sea but we know it as the Baltic Sea and, from the Baltics, comes a dark and mysterious beer. The Baltic porter is boozy and complex. Fermented cold by lager yeast and cold-conditioned for many months to round out the stronger flavors positioned next to the clean lager profile. The flavors reminds one of an old school style Russian imperial stout but the body is light and crisp instead of thick and sweet. Can be thought of as a strong version of a German swartzbier. A really fun and unique style of dark beer!
Flavors include a balance of blended roasted and chocolate malts on top of a light-yet-malty base brought to life with fruity lager yeast combing to make flavors of liquorice, dark fruit, smoke, and alcohol.
