Representative Beer Menu

  ABV
Community Dark British Dark Mild Ale. "We’ve dubbed it 'Imperial Mild' because it’s a shade stronger than classic Mild. Light (bodied) but dark (colored), Community Dark is the ideal session ale and the best place to begin overcoming one’s irrational fear of the dark. English malts; lightly hopped with East Kent Goldings." 5.0%
Croupier IPA British IPA with a touch of American IPA around the edges. Fairly dark color.  
Elector Maybe an Imperial Amber Ale. "Elector’s delicious malty body and heavy hopping rates continue to make democracy utterly pointless. English & American malts; Cascade & Galena hops; London yeast. Dry-hopped." 7.2%
Hoptimus Imperial IPA. "Brewed with Simpson's Golden Promise malt; Northern Brewer, Fuggles and Cascades hops; and the house London yeast. Dry hopping with Fuggles and Cascades." 8.5%
Bob's Old 15-B Robust brown Porter. The winner of a FOSSILS homebrew club competition and now a regular on the menu. 5.0%
Bourbondaddy (seasonal) Stout aged in oak bourbon barrels. 6.5%
ConeSmoker (seasonal) 85% German beechwood-smoked malts and German noble hops. 7.5%
St. Ragegund Bitter (occasional) English bitter always served in cask-conditioned form.  
Beak's Best (occasional) ESB dry hopped with East Kent Goldings. 5.5%
Bush Hog (occasional) IPA using Spalt, Saaz, and Hallertauer hops. 86 IBU. 8.0%
Some handpulls are usually on duty at Rich O's dispensing cask-conditioned ale. Sometimes these have NABC beers, sometimes ales from other, including English, breweries.

NABC beer is also available at the Rock Wall in New Albany, the Comeback Inn in Jeffersonville, and other area locations.
