Tappd. Drekker Brewing Company

Session Description

For our sixth edition of Tappd. we are thrilled to pour, for the first time, selections by the mighty Drekker Brewing Company from Fargo, North Dakota. These misfits brew some damn tasty brews and some of the best damn sours out there today. Don’t miss out on an opportunity to taste these killer brews.

Night Machine - Draft

(American Double IPA / 8.1% ABV) Mosaic, Vic Secret, Amarillo & Citra. To welcome our new reality of digital social connectivity we’ve created a beer to aid your virtual escape. Get in ya weirdo, we’re going vannin’ on a digitally simulated grid. Night Machine takes you on a smooth ride with its soft, creamy, & thumping baseline of oats, spelt and chit malts. Aromas of pine & melon create a deep trance before it blasts you like a laser beam with flavors of orange and berry creamsicle straight to your mainframe processor. Hopped with Mosaic, Vic Secret, Amarillo, & Citra it drops the perfect playlist for cruising through the interwebs in this newly cybernated reality.

Pizza Toots - Draft

(American Hazy IPA / 7.0% ABV) New England Style IPA brewed with CTZ, Rakau & Ekuanot hops. Pillowy soft body with citrus, melon, & tropical fruit flavors.

CHUNK POG Sundae - Can

(American Sour / 5.9% ABV) Our lovable hefty boi is back and this time he’s dripping with all kinds of tasty fruit goodness like passionfruit, orange, guava and vanilla ice cream!

CHUNK Funky Monkey - Can

(American Sour / 6.3% ABV) This time our lovable hefty boi is back with a completely ludicrous take on a frozen Monkey Tail dessert. This absolute unit is stuffed with banana, cacao nibs, peanut butter, black currant, plum, pomegranate, lactose, & vanilla beans for a decadent and delicious headfirst dive into the realm of absurdity!

Blue Razz Braaaaaaaains - Can

(American Pastry Sour / 5.9% ABV) This double fruit smoothie sour is loaded up with blueberry, more blueberry, raspberry, and more raspberry, then we hit it with our double secret smoothie treatment of sea salt, lactose, and vanilla beans. We don’t exactly know if it’ll turn your tongue blue, but we’re way looking forward to doing a little more research because this stuff is suuuuuper delicious!

Garbage People - Can

(American Hazy Double IPA / 8.5% ABV) Don’t know about you guys, but we were always a little more Garbage Pail Kids than Cabbage Patch Kids. We grew up (technically, but not really) and we aren’t kids anymore so we’re just Garbage People. This new Double IPA is hopped with Mosaic, Galaxy, Citra, and Vic Secret with some serious dank, orange zest, bubble gum, & apricot flavor and aroma. So crack one of these and decide which Garbage Pail Kid you feel like? Oozy Suzy? Maybe a little more like Jay Decay? Let us know, we’ve got a feeling you’re Garbage People too. - Brewery Description

Trills That Kill - Can

(American IPA / 6.0% ABV) Thrills That Kill is a crazy soft, hazy IPA collaboration with Seven Island Brewery, brewed with the hop trio of Nectaron Cryo, Alora, and HBC 586 and leaves notes of mango, guava, lime, yuzu and a little hoppy punch on your taste buds. Dangerously delicious!

Lurk and Destroy - Can

(American IPA / 6.6% ABV) Look out! We’ve got a new IPA creepin’ in the shadows that’s ready to annihilate all of your expectations! Lurk and Destroy is powered by Galaxy, Sultana, and Simcoe Cryo hops, giving layers of peach, candied orange, and citrus zest flavors, all wrapped in a dank blanket of spruce and pine. Taste buds, BEWARE (in a good way).

Get Happy Hour will be from 4:00p-6:00p with discounts on select beer, wine and spirts. (Drekker selections will not be included in happy hour discounts) Come early, stay late!

Session Description

For our fifth edition of Tappd. we are thrilled welcome back Trillium with these two selections:

Congress Street - Draft

(American IPA / 7.2% ABV) Our flagship American IPA highlights the distinctively aromatic Australian Galaxy hop. The nose bursts with pine, citrus rind, melon and pineapple. Pronounced flavors of peach, clementine, and tropical fruits are accentuated with moderate bitterness and balanced by a light, biscuity malt character.

Boat Under Train Under Car Under Plane - Draft

(American Pale / 5.5% ABV) In celebration of Boston’s iconic Regatta weekend, we grabbed some oars and hit the Charles with our friends at Hydrow to create a hydrating pale ale for apres race refreshment! Looking at the same recipe for PoCoToB, but from riverview, boat under train under car under plane provides a fluidly smooth experience similar to a ride on Hydrow's innovative rowing machines. Beyond a shared love for craft beer & rowing culture, this partnership is founded on building community.    

“This partnership with Trillium was born out of a mutual appreciation and admiration for the work that we do, and shared a passion for delivering something truly special to our customers. We look forward to finding even more creative ways to bring these unique experiences to our communities together” said Bruce Smith, CEO + Founder, Hydrow, Inc.

Pouring a shimmering hazy gold, the nose is greeted with poignant aromas of creamy mango purée, candied orange, tropical papaya, and under ripe pineapple. BuTuCuP’s delicate mouthfeel accentuates dynamic flavors of juicy apricot, sticky cantaloupe, and pulpy grapefruit with a touch of guava.

Get Happy Hour will be from 4:00p-6:00p with discounts on select beer, wine and spirts. (Trillium selections will not be included in happy hour discounts) Come early, stay late!

Tappd. Allagash Brewing Company

Session Description

For our fourth edition of Tappd. we are thrilled welcome back our friends Allagash Brewing Company. Our buddy Alan Wildy from Allagash will be live and direct in-house for this event as we tap and pour three tasty selections alla spina (on tap):

Once Upon An Orchard: Cherries & Raspberries - Draft

(Dark Sour Ale Aged with Cherries & Raspberries / 7.7% ABV) Once, a traveling group of brewers happened upon a farmer stuck in a ditch. His cart had too many fresh raspberries and cherries. The brewers helped to push his cart out, but he soon was stuck again. So, as payment, the farmer gave them bushels and bushels of berries, which the brewers decided to age in a dark, tart beer. The result was a rich, complex beer filled with notes of fresh cherry, ripe raspberry, pie spice, and a hint of cocoa. And they sipped it happily ever after.

Two Lights - Draft

(American Lager with Sauvignon Blanc Must and Champagne Yeast / 6.7% ABV) Two Lights is an ode to two of the more refreshing drinks of summer: cold beer and sparkling wine. The finished beer’s aromas of pear and light hops pair with a flavor profile that’s a mix of tropical fruit and the snappy spritz of a freshly picked grape.

White - Draft

(Belgian Witbier / 5.2% ABV) Our award-winning interpretation of a Belgian-style wheat beer is brewed with oats, malted wheat, and raw wheat for a hazy “white” appearance. Spiced with our own special blend of coriander and Curaçao orange peel, Allagash White upholds the Belgian tradition of beers that are both complex and refreshing.

Get Happy Hour will be from 4:30p-6:30p with discounts on select beer, wine and spirts. (Trillium selections will not be included in happy hour discounts) Come early, stay late!

Session Description

For our third edition of Tappd. we are thrilled welcome back Trillium with these four selections:

DDH Summer Street - Draft

(American IPA / 7.2% ABV) This enhanced version of Summer Street IPA features a secondary dry hopping with Simcoe. Hazy, sunflower gold in appearance, DDH Summer provides strong aromatics of floral pine and ripe pineapple with overtones of citrus peel and fresh picked blueberries. Bold, dynamic flavors of juicy tangerine, diced strawberries, pineapple cubes, and green pear lead the palate with a modest, balancing bite of grapefruit pith and pine needles. Just above medium mouthfeel with a dry finish.

redferrari - Draft

(American Double IPA / 8.0% ABV) Brewed in collaboration with The Veil Brewing Co., this Hazy DIPA features a 50/50 blend of Galaxy & Mosaic hops with notes of dank melon, passion fruit, and blueberry.

Central Artery - Can

(Helles Lager / 5.0% ABV) Pouring a beautifully striking bright gold color with a creamy white head, Central Artery displays a wonderfully vibrant nose balancing malty aromas of freshly baked, flour dusted rolls and lightly toasted barley with a gentle noble hop profile of dried wildflowers. Cleanly fermented, the palate follows the nose closely with pleasantly sweet notes of kneaded biscuit dough and bread crust. Refreshing and quenchable with a light rounded body, fully reserved level of bitterness and soft, drying finish, Central Artery proudly honors this classic Bavarian style.

Melcher Street - Can

(American IPA / 7.2% ABV) This popular edition in our “Street” series of India Pale Ales spotlights the remarkably complex Mosaic hop. Melcher Street is hazy, pale orange in appearance and emits aromatic qualities of grapefruit, mild-earthy pine, and mango on the nose. Dank flavors of pine and green hop, along with juicy notes of tropical fruit, melon, and peach, are accentuated with crisp malt character, mild bitterness, and a soft, effervescent mouthfeel.

Orval Day 2024

11:00 AM11:00

Orval Day 2024

On Orval Day, devotees of Orval Trappist Ale – and some folks who maybe have not tried it yet – convene to celebrate one of the world’s unique and highly-respected beers.

Join us here at HiWay in celebration of this damn tasty and historical brew!!! For #OrvalDay2024 we'll awaken some vintage selections from our stash that have been asleep in our climate controlled beer cellar. We'll offer these up (as long as they last) along with this year's current vintage.

We'll also have a few giveaways to be had while supplies last. Mark your calendar and be sure to stop in for a bottle or two!

___

About Orval:
The Orval legend began almost 1,000 years ago, when a princess accidentally dropped her ring into a spring and a trout returned it. It continues now, with a day to reflect on and enjoy this amazing Trappist ale.

Orval Trappist Ale was the first Brett beer to land on US shores, and has become the favorite beer for many star American brewers. ( “Brett” – brettanomyces – is a yeast variety that adds appetizing, sharp acidity and dryness.) Orval is brewed to exquisite perfection within the walls of Notre Dame d’Orval Monastery in Belgium. It’s delicious when it leaves the brewery, but also evolves in the bottle for five years or more.

Graffiti Highway wanders off the beaten path, where twists and turns of citrus and tropical aromas merge into a colorful mosaic. It’s a beer with hoppy, fruit-forward flavors and mild bitterness. Take your taste buds on a journey with a juicy, hazy IPA primed for adventure.

In addition to Graffiti Highway, we'll also be pouring First Cut IPA, Little ‘Nator, Double Nugget and Perpetual on tap along with a few other selections.

We'll have Graffiti Highway available to take home our retail bottle shop along with a healthy selection of Tröegs brews.

Be sure to come early and snag some awesome giveaways while supplies last!

More details on menus and more coming via social media post updates soon. Follow our Instagram, Threads, Facebook, and X social channels to stay in the know!

This is a free event to attend. All Tröegs selections will be priced individually. (must be 21+, w/ proper id)
