At Twisted Rail Brewing Company we pride our selves on making, well to keep it simple, delicious beer! That said we have a wide variety of staple brews as well as a spectrum of seasonal brews that are released throughout the year.
13 of our Staple Brews (AVAILABILITY may vary by season)
Twisted Rail is a NYS licensed Farm Brewery crafting its unique beers using 60% or more NY grown grains, hops, malts & fruits that support our local farmers. We also donate 100% of our spent grains (over 40 tons a year) to local farmers to help feed their livestock.
Lake to Lake Lager ABV 4.9 IBU 11
Our best selling Lager is Clean, Crisp and is fermented 7 weeks to attain a light, clear body with full flavor. Perfect for the light beer drinker that “Doesn’t drink craft Beer” and the person ready to enjoy what a light beer should taste like. Get ready to be spoiled!
NYS Pilsner ABV 5.4 IBU 57
Our Bohemian Style Lager has its’ Hoppy, Sweet, Bready and Malted tones highlighted. This truly German style presents itself as pleasantly hoppy and refreshing with a light gold and amber color. You can almost hear the Black Forest calling!
Frost Town Farmhouse Saison ABV 5.8 IBU 25
The recipe for Twisted Rail’s inaugural brew was created in the root cellar of an 1850’s farmhouse in Frost Town, now known as Gulick Rd. in South Bristol, NY. True to the traditional Farmhouse style, this medium-bodied, golden wheat ale is brewed with a Belgian Saison yeast that gives it an airy head, a citrus-sweet nose and a spicy coriander finish. Our Belgian Saison that’s artfully brewed Orange Peel is over the Moon!
Raspberry Wheat Ale ABV 4.6 IBU 15
A Summer Favorite of slightly tart Raspberries with a sweet fruity nose and full, lush finish. Order it as a Shandy to blend the flavor of summer lemonade into each pint. A few pints on the deck makes the upstate winters somehow bearable.
50 Shades of Red AVB 4.8 IBU 22
Got your attention? These 50 shades will bring you beer lover’s bliss. A true Irish red that is lightly malted with a double-hop blend. If you like beer in this style, you just found your pot of gold. We’re not sure if it will make you anymore Irish but it will make your eyes (and taste buds) smile!
Ale Aboard APA (American Pale Ale) ABV 5.0 IBU 37
Our 2020 NYS Brewers Assoc. Silver Medal Winning APA. One sip and you will know why. This American style pale ale has a smooth caramel enriched flavor. It starts with a nice hop flavor, followed by sweet notes of caramel in the middle and then finishes clean crisp.
Spike Driver IPA ABV 6.6 IBU 70
This is our Flagship West Coast Style IPA. More smooth that bitter, hop profiles are spot on! If you are looking for the perfect all day IPA, you just struck gold!
Hell on Wheels DIPA ABV 7.4 IBU 87
Here comes the Hops! A well balanced Floral, Piney & Hoppy Double IPA that packs a punch! If you are a hops or die kind of person, this bad boy is for you.
Hazy NEIPA ABV 6.3 IBU 28
Our Hazy New England IPA bursts with tropical flavors from Simcoe, Amarillo & Mosaic Hops! Follow the fragrant Grapefruit nose into a silky smooth and fresh balanced world of hazy goodness! All aboard this Tropical Train heading to the Islands!
End of the Line Scotch Ale ABV 6.4 IBU 18
This Smooth & Mellow Ale won us a Silver Medal in the 2021 NYS brewers competition. Our first home brew batches were made with Scotch-soaked oak chips. But then we found out selling it was slightly illegal; so we set out on a journey to achieve that flavor and reddish amber glow – and still stay out of jail. We still use toasted oak chips for a light, full head that greets you with a distant hint of vanilla; and a balanced, earthy finish that will keep you happy. As they say in Scotland… “It’s in the Peat”!
Vokzal Imperial Stout ABV 9.2 IBU 18
Did Santa leave coal in the beer maker’s mashtun? Or is that Twisted Rail’s Russian Stout? Yep, it’s that dark. Our first in a series of Russian-style stouts, this one starts mellow with undertones of chocolaty-espresso (as a good Stout should) and a light, creamy head. From there, the train never stops. Put your feet up and relax with a few. A roaring fireplace is optional.
Quaker Express Oatmeal Stout ABV 6.9 IBU 21
Our Quaker Express is a full bodied stout that has an unreal smoothness from the addition of oats into the mash. The oats not only enhance the mouth feel, but give a touch of sweetness that makes it so unique. Our blend boasts a mix of three grains that make this a brewery favorite. Good enough to have for breakfast…. really!
It Takes 2 to Mango ABV 3.9 IBU 12
A very Crushable classic German Gose’ (Go-za) Sour packed full of fresh Mango flavor. Thick and smooth with a trace of salt that is a tall tail of a true Gose”. The Mango is often brewed alongside it’s sister Gose’ “A Whole Lotta Guava”. Watch for them both rotating through the Taps year round.
