Aged Cheddar

There’s a lot of flavor and texture going on with aged cheddar, so you want a drink that stands up to that but doesn’t overpower it. We like off-dry, mature beverages that have just a touch of sweetness like saison ale, cider, bock and Belgian ales. For wine, we recommend riesling, chardonnay and champagne (whites) and syrah, pinot noir and chianti (reds). Bourbon and single malt scotch are always sure bets too.

Amber Ale

Originally hailing from the West Coast of America, easy-to-drink ambers strike what we think is the perfect balance of hops to malt.

Belgian Ale

There are so many different types of Belgian ales, but what unites them all is their moderate to high-alcohol content and tendency to be on the sweeter, often fruity side.

Cider

American hard cider has witnessed a significant resurgence in recent years. Just like our best craft beers, it is now often complex, artisanal, and highly regional.

IPA

First crafted in the 17th century in England, India Pale Ale — commonly referred to as IPA — is one craft beer America can never get enough of.

Saison Ale

Pronounced "say-zone" and also known as farmhouse ales, saisons are a unique family of super-refreshing, fruity, and spicy beers.

Scotch Ale

If a strong, dark, malty ale is what you crave, Scotch ale is your new best mate!

Rum

Crafted from sugar cane, this sweet, light-to-dark colored, often caramelly spirit is our Tiki time favorite.

Port

We love this gorgeous, bold and sweet, fortified red wine sipper from the northern Douro region of Portugal, especially at the end of a delicious meal.
