HUDSON TAPROOM
Common Acre - Southern German Inspired Pilsner
5% abv - Common Acre is a new iteration of German Inspired Pilsner crafted with traditional malt and Noble hops. Brewed in the southern tradition, the subtle malt expression holds up a distinct but restrained Noble hop aroma with just enough bitterness to compliment, leaving a dry but only slightly crisp finish. It pours clear and bright yellow with a white fluffy head. The aroma is light, yet vibrant with a classically Noble spicy, earthy undertone, and a distinct minerality, followed by a hint of slightly sweet citrus. It drinks very light with a spicy, woody backbone, with light cracker and biscuit flavors. Common Acre finishes dry and just slightly crisp, allowing the malt character to continue throughout.
Measured In Steins - Märzen Lager
6% abv - Measured In Steins is a German-onspired Marzen Lager brewed primarily with Munich and Vienna malt and hopped with Hallertauer Mittelfrüh and Saaz in the kettle. It is an interpretation of the traditional beers of Oktoberfest, being deeper in color and malt complexity than the typical modern Festbiers that are found nowadays in both Germany and the U.S. It pours a clear, deep orange-amber with an off-white head. The nose starts off with fresh bread then opens up into sweet fruit, raisins, and light toast. As is typical of the style, the mouthfeel is full, just at first, then lightens up dramatically as you move through your sip. The taste is complex, feeding into that initial fullness with notes of sweet bread and toast, leading into flavors of raison and fresh apple, all the while an underlining rich, warming malt note ties everything together. That then flows into a less intense middle and finish of lightly toasty flavors that flow off the pallet with the slightest bit of early bitterness from the hops balancing it all out. The finish is light and dry, a somewhat dramatic departure from how it started, but one that will lead you to craving another sip.
Four the Love of Hops - Double Dry-Hopped Pale Ale
5.5% abv - Our fourth anniversary beer was brewed and double dry-hopped with copious amounts of Superdelic, Nelson Sauvin, and Motueka hops. The nose hits hard with notes of mango, lime zest, and a big sweet fruit note. The flavor is bright, with lime and orange citrus, and a mélange of tropical fruit like lychee and mango. It finishes with a distinctly citrus-forward pop that's just a bit on the dry side with little to no bitterness.
Lawn Seats - Hazy Pale Ale
5.5% abv - Lawn Seats pours hazy and is pale yellow in appearance. Brewed with Dolicta and Wai-iti hops, the nose is very peachy, with notes of both underripe peach flesh and peach candy, followed by sweet orange and lime zest with just a hint of malty cereal grain. The body is light, with underripe peach dominating the flavor, moving into notes of lime and citrus oil, and just a touch of pale malt roundness. The finish is soft, smooth, and slightly dry.
Afternoon Bell - Grisette
5% abv - Our Grisette was brewed with Pilsner Malt, and Warthog Wheat and Danko Rye from our friends at Valley Malt in Holyoke, MA. It is a pale yellow Belgian ale with a distinct, clean-fermented, "farmhouse" profile. On the nose, there are aromas of orange peel and honey, accented by white pepper, clove, and raw flour. The taste mirrors this, with white pepper and a woody spice dominating. It drinks clean, crisp, and finishes slightly dry.
Highly Unsupervised - New England IPA
6.8% abv - Highly Unsupervised pours hazy and is deep yellow in color. Brewed with Mosaic and Strata hops, pineapple and passion fruit dominate the nose with lime, mango and orange peel popping out as well. It drinks smooth, with pineapple and mango flavors right up front, and sweet citrus backing them up. There is a slightly sweet, malty, cereal grain backbone that carries the flavors to a long smooth finish with little to no bitterness.
New England Palm Trees - Double IPA
9% abv - This DIPA is as sturdy as it is tropical, clocking in at 9% abv and featuring a killer lineup of fruit-forward hops. Brewed with 2-Row malt, English pale malt, wheat, and flaked oats, it has plenty of body and depth to support a varied medley of hops: a late kettle addition of Alora, a heavy dry hopping of Azacca and Strata, and a lighter addition of Cashmere and Krush. The end result is a collage of tropical fruit notes - mango, passion fruit, pineapple - along with touches of strawberry, melon, stone fruit, and citrus. If you’re a serious hophead, this beer will give you the wallop of hoppy deliciousness you look for.
Fake Mustache - Kolsch
5% abv - Despite being brewed with ale yeast, Kölsch is fermented cold to achieve a relatively clean profile, making it much more akin to a lager in both appearance and flavor. Brewed with traditional malt and hops, our Kölsch is a pale golden ale with a balanced hop profile. The nose has light earthy herbal notes, with subtle berry and pear, mild citrus and a waft of crusty bread. The taste starts slightly sweet with green apple, and ripe pear notes, quickly balanced by a sharp woody hop flavor. Following the flavor, the mouthfeel is soft upfront and then sharp on the finish making for a refreshing drinking experience.
4th Wheel - English-Inspired Dark Mild
3.5% abv - A darker version of traditional mild, this beer has more malt complexity and drinks with just a touch of roast character all the while remaining smooth and sessionable. It was brewed with traditional English Maris Otter malt along with several supporting specialty malts and lightly hopped in the kettle with English hops. Held up to the light, 4th Wheel has a deep ruby hue while at a distance it appears darker, as it just barely doesn’t allow ambient light through. The aroma is sweet and malty, with notes of light caramel, toffee, cake brownies, and ground coffee. The body is light, but full, and the flavor opens with a present yet subdued roast character followed by a balanced depth of malt with woody, nutty and toasty notes. Carbonation is low so it drinks smooth and light, with a mildly crisp finish.
Potential Side Effects - Fruited Sour with Plum and Tart Cherry
5% abv - A deep ruby beer with a nose of ripe plum and a semi-sweet, almost grenadine-like cherry note. The plum is right up front in the flavor with tart cherries playing well off the inherent sour character of the beer. It finishes tart and dry with a last lingering note of cherry pit and cherry spice.
Seasonally Confused - Session Porter
4% abv - Seasonally Confused was brewed with English Pale Malts and a plethora of specialty malts, delivering robust aroma and flavor despite its low abv. The nose is very roasty with a bit of chocolate and coffee. The flavor starts off full-bodied and with bitter chocolate, then moves into a roasty, woody, finish that is light and dry.
Hard Seltzer
4.5% abv - A crisp and refreshing seltzer in amazing flavors: Cherry, Strawberry, Pomegranate, Winter Citrus, Blood Orange, Passion Fruit, or Cucumber. Bonus...our seltzers are gluten free!

Juice Bag - New England IPA
6.5% abv - Our most-popular IPA, Juice Bag pours a very hazy pale yellow with a fluffy white head and pops with an aroma filled with a plethora of fruit notes like sweet cantaloupe and orange zest, with a touch of dank tropical fruit. The mouthfeel is smooth and medium bodied throughout, with little to no bitterness, and very light carbonation. The flavor is loaded with orange peel and a touch of pith, backed by notes of mango and cantaloupe.

Noiret Red Wine
A medium-bodied, dry red wine aged for 15 months in a blend of American & French oak barrels. We taste berry jam, hints of herbal mint and coffee with vanilla notes.
Seyval White Wine
Dry white wine that has spent extended time on the yeast lees, resulting in a nutty, bread-like flavor and creamier mouthfeel. The acidity and citrus tones are muted and some sediment is expected.
