Core Brands

ENERGY DOME AMBER ALE
5.5% ABV

This amber ale is designed for drinkability and ingredient balance. Malt is present, but not aggressive, showing caramel and toasted biscuit. Hops complement with notes melon and berry, supported by the fruity profile of the yeast. Medium-bodied, with moderate bitterness aiding the clean, dry finish.

ROYAL COCONUT CREAM ALE
6% 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 toasted coconut. The coconut flavor is a subtle sidekick to enchant the palate and still allows the traditional style to shine through.

CONFETTI: MEXICAN CORN 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.

KARASS ROBUST PORTER
6.6% ABV

According to Kurt Vonnegut, a karass is a group of people that get stuff done. We brewed this rich and roasty American porter for them -- the movers and shakers. Look for full flavors of pale chocolate, nutty undertones, and a delicate, velvety roast.

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.

MOXIE DOUBLE IPA
8% ABV

Distinctly smooth and decidedly different, this fluffy double India Pale Ale is a fresh-squeezed orange juice creamsicle. Big citrus notes, a modest & pleasant sweetness, all while still finishing nice and dry leaving your palate ready for more.

TROY DIVISION IPA
6.7% ABV

In an ode to both our city and to one of our favorite bands, we brewed this immensely satisfying New England IPA with a medley of American hops along with a dose of wheat and oats. This unknown pleasure is sure to become a familiar favorite.

CZECH 1,2: CZECH PILSNER
4.7% ABV

Our take on the world’s most popular beer style is as crisp and clean as a mic check on a mountaintop. This beer is brewed for refreshment with a citrus and white peach hop profile and a subtly sweet, and toasted biscuit flavor.

PRACTICALLY MAGIC
5.5% ABV

Kettle Sour series with rotating flavors. Some variants include:
Coconut & Lime
Blood Orange & Cranberry
Pear & Thyme
Pear & Guava

Stay Tuned While We Look for a New Space:

After over 10 years of crafting beer, building community, and making incredible memories, our time at this space has ended.

We can’t thank everyone enough who has supported us, stuck by our side, and shared in this adventure through the good, the great, and the tough times. Your support has meant the world to us, and we appreciate you more than we can say.

To everyone who has worked with us, for us, and had fun with us along the way—thank you. You’ve made Rare Form what it is, and we’re forever grateful.

As for what’s next? We’re searching for a new home, but until we find the right space, Rare Form will take a pause. This isn’t goodbye forever — just a break.
