Current Offerings
CONFETTI MEXICAN STYLE LAGER
5.4% ABV
This Mexican-style lager is brewed with New York corn and Zeus hops for a zesty kick. Notes of corn tortilla with a crisp lager finish make this a refreshing cerveza, with lime or without.
SPARKLE MOTION INDIA CREAM ALE
5.7% ABV
Reaffirm your commitment to sparkle motion. Another hot take on a cream ale, but this time with a strong hop presence. Look for notes of melon, apricot and peach in this hazy remix. A soft mouthfeel blends with a smooth and clean finish to establish this as a true contemporary cream ale.
STRANGERS WITH SHANDY
8.5% ABV
Never accept shandy from a stranger, unless it’s brewed by two friends. Our newest collaboration comes via our comrades at Swiftwater in honor of Rochester Real Ale Week. This imperial lager is infused with lemon juice to make for a potent summer concoction.
ROYAL COCONUT CREAM ALE
4.8% ABV
An Upstate New York-style cream ale with a Rare Form twist. You'll feel like royalty sipping this light-bodied ale aged on locally toasted coconut. The coconut flavor is a subtle sidekick to enchant the palate and still allows the traditional style to shine through.
ALTGEIST
5% ABV
This dark copper-colored altbier pays homage to the quintessential Düsseldorf style. Look for a wonderfully sweet caramel nose, fruity esters, and the dry finish of a lager.
MEMBERS ONLY BROWN ALE
6% ABV
A slightly sweet and nutty brown ale, Members Only gives the classic English style an American plot twist. No jacket needed, though, this classic style is brewed for everyone.
KARASS PORTER
6% ABV
This American porter is rich and dark with hints of pale chocolate and nutty undertones. This transitions seamlessly to a velvety smooth mouthfeel that lingers comfortably. Notes of bakers chocolate, prune and velvet.
BAVARIA RUNS ON DUNKEL
5.4% ABV
Dunkel or “dark” lager is one of the most popular beers brewed in Munich and enjoyed throughout Bavaria. Our interpretation keeps the smooth, rich malty goodness of a traditional German dunkel and adds the roasty notes of an American cup of Joe.
SCCC COLLAB 2019
4% ABV
Brewed in collaboration with the craft beer scholars at Schenectady County Community College, this light wheat beer is brewed strawberry puree and juniper berries. Pleasant gin botanicals dance with the sweetness of ripe strawberries and a soft wheat body, making for a perfect summer refresher.
DARK TROPIC
6.6% ABV
Originally released on our first anniversary, Dark Tropic triumphantly returns. The base is our coconut porter, which embarked on a journey of transformation in our Family Tree series barrels. This series began with Dark Tropic 1.0 four years ago, and the barrels have aged seven different sour variants in the time since. This is a rich but pleasant dark sour ale with indescribable complexity. Raise a glass and help us toast five years!
DEAD BREWERS COLLAB
6.3% ABV
This beer is brewed to honor the legends of Troy’s storied brewing past. Many of them are buried at Oakwood Cemetery, the very place that served as the genesis for an idea. What if those men could have spanned the decades and centuries between them to brew something collaboratively? This beer is our humble answer to that rhetorical question. This “New York-style” bitter with pleasant malt notes and a subtle hop character has a foot planted firmly in both their world and ours.
