BRASS BONANZA

New England IPA | 6.2% | 16/23oz | 7/9

Brass Bonanza IPA is hazed liquid bliss. Brewed true to style, our flagship New England IPA trumpets all the right notes with a saturation of succulent tropical flavors, bright and juicy aromatics, a silken mouthfeel that hugs the palate and a tease of finishing bitterness. As Hartford's oldest brewery, crafted this to honor the icons that helped to define the "Hart of New England." In our celebrated capital community scene, we cheer and bleed blue and green!

BLUEBERRY + GUAVA TWIST

Kettle Sour Ale | 4.3% | 16/23oz | 6/8

This kettle sour ale features a generous dosage of blueberry and guava purée for a juicy, sweet balance to the intense tartness from the lactobacillus. 🫐 A touch of lemon peel on the kettle, vanilla bean in the fermenter, and a dry hopping of mosaic come together to create a unique blend of sour and tropical fruit flavors.

NORWEGIAN WOOD

Spiced Dunkel Lager | 6% | 16/23oz | 7/9

A seasonal favorite! A City Steam staple for some years, this is a great drinking dark lager with a touch of cocoa and cinnamon. It’s almost like a chocolate version of cinnamon toast crunch cereal!
At its core, this beer is a classic Dunkel Lager, not at all unlike Uncle Dunkel, which this beer essentially is, but with spice. At the end of the boil, we used organic Dutch Cocoa powder and organic Vietnamese cinnamon.
Pours a nice dark brown-to-black color with a stable head of foam that tends to dissipate rather quickly from the fat content of the cocoa. Nice nose of bitter dark chocolate with cinnamon present, but never overbearing.
