Lancaster Brewing Company - Oktoberfest
This smooth brew
ushers in Autumn with an invitingly tawny color complemented by
an assertive maltiness. A noble crispness from German and Czech
hops completes this very traditional lager-style beer, Available
from August to November.
Spaten
The combined experience of our master brewers and the use of
superior raw materials and ultra-modern technologies have
ensured top quality in our products for more than 600 years. All
our beers are brewed in strict accordance with the Bavarian
Purity Law of 1516.
Stoudt's - American Pale Ale
This uniquely American beer
offers a crisp, medium body with a light amber color.
Generous additions of Cascade hops provide a refreshing
bitterness and vibrant citrus aroma.
Dogfish Head - Punkin Ale
A full-bodied brown ale with
smooth hints of pumpkin and brown sugar. We brew our Punkin Ale
with pumpkin meat, organic brown sugar and spices. This is the
perfect beer to warm-up with, as the season cools.

fabrics to create fashionable, one-of-a-kind bags. |
