BEERS
Lagers
These beers tend to be light and dry in style due to the slow cold fermentation process.
Yuengling, Lager, Pennsylvania $5
Heineken, Lager, Holland $5
Miller Lite, Lager, Wisconsin $5
Pilsners
Pilsner, a subcategory of Lagers, is a light and dry beer with a more pronounced hop flavor (saaz, specifically) than a standard lager.
Stella Artois, Pilsner, Belgium $5
Stoudt's Brewery, Pilsner, Adamstown, Pennsylvania $5
Ales
Brewed in the traditional English style, ales tend to be full-bodied and flavorful with fruity notes. This is due to a fast and hot fermentation process.
Dos Equis Amber, Amber Ale, Mexico $5
Stone Brewing, Pale Ale, Excondido, California $5
Kiuchi Brewery, Hitachino Nest Red Rice Ale, Ibaraki, Japan 11.2 oz. $7
Mad Elf Ale, Troegs Brewing Company, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania $7

Chimay Blue, Grande Reserve, Dark Belgium Ale, Belgium 11.2 oz., $8
Wheat Beers
Wheat beers are a subcategory of ales ... a portion of barley is replaced with wheat. This style tends to be reminiscent of bottled sunshine.
Harpoon, UFO White, Unfiltered Wheat Beer, Massachusetts $4
Paulaner Brewing, Hefeweizen, Germany $5
Stouts
Another subcategory of ales, these tend to be the strongest, or stoutest beers — deep in color, high in alcohol and long in flavor.
Bells, Expedition, Stout, Kalamazoo, Michigan 12 oz. $6
Guinness, Stout, Ireland $5
Lambics
A unique style that is regretfully becoming forgotten. Wild yeast and spontaneous fermentation make this beer high in acid and perfect to be sweetened.
Framboise Lambic, Lindemans, Vlezenbeek, Belgium, 12 oz. $9
