Sound Machine Current South County Brewing Co. Pale Ale – New England / Hazy 6.8% ABV 15 IBU Extra Pale Ale brewed with wheat, oats and lactose. Whirlpool and dry-hopped only with Cascade, Eldorado and Bravo. Textures and flavors of pulpy orange juice, citrus and sweet lactose creaminess.
Porter Current Founders Brewing Co. Porter – American 6.5% ABV 45 IBU Pours black with a tan head. Sweet nose with chocolate and caramel malt presence. No absence of hops. Cozy like velvet. A lover, not a fighter.
Buzzword Wheat Current Moss Mill Brewing Company Wheat Beer – Other 5.3% ABV 13 IBU Breaking thru the lactose clutter. Created using millennial mindshare this paradigm shifting wheat beer sets a clear goal of disruptive innovation and pushes the creamsicle envelope to create perfect synergy of creamy mouthfeel and effervescent juicy citrus flavor.
Angel Investor Current Vault Brewing Company Belgian Blonde 6% ABV No IBU A refreshing & complex Belgian Style Blonde Ale. Simply brewed with European Pilsner malt & Sterling hops. A unique Belgian yeast strain lends notes of cracked black pepper, underripe stone fruits & clove. Bright, inviting, & zippy
Thank You For Not Discussing The Outside World Current Fair State Brewing Cooperative Pilsner – Other 4.9% ABV No IBU A crisp and brightly hoppy Pilsner dry-hopped with some of our favorite American classics from Oregon, designed for drinking in those moments where you’d really just rather focus on the here and now. Late summer cabin weekends, Sundays, a baseball game, whatever. Allow us to provide you with a focal point for your centering meditation, in the form of this delightful little beer.
Summer Friend (2022) Current Forest & Main Brewing Company Farmhouse Ale – Saison 5% ABV No IBU It’s time for a new Summer Friend. We brewed this batch with local barley and wheat from @DeerCreekMalt , hopped it with a touch of aged Strisselspalt, and fresh Huell Melon and Saphir, and fermented it with our Foraged Yeast Culture. Saison is such a broad family of beer, but this one really pops as an honest classic example with notes of Zebra Chewing Gum, ripe Asian pears, citrus and strawberries, flakey strudel dough, and the saison joie de vivre.
Painting With Light DIPA Current South County Brewing Co. IPA – Imperial / Double 8.2% ABV No IBU A Bright and crisp DIPA with earthy pine and sweet citrus pulp aroma. Medium body with resinous undertones, citrus fruit, pineapple and mango notes. Brewed with Simcoe and Columbus hops.

Tesseract Current Grimm Artisanal Ales IPA – Imperial / Double New England / Hazy 8% ABV 77 IBU This luminous hazy-golden beauty is bursting with layers of super fresh, hoppy complexity: aromas of berry, tropical fruit, and citrus are married to undertones of resinous, dank spruce. The bitterness is firm yet soft around the edges, and the mouthfeel is creamy and luscious. Brewed with Mosaic, Falconer’s Flight, and Citra hops.
Publick Current 4.2% ABV 16 IBU Cartel Brewing & Blending Mild – Other A traditional malt forward English pub ale, known for its light and roasty tea-like qualities. A refreshing warm weather session beer with earthy flavors and aromas of black tea and lemon

Days Of Sun Current Beer Tree Brew IPA – New England / Hazy 7.2% ABV No IBU Brewed with Mosaic, Mosaic Cryo, Mosaic Incognito, and Kelly Cascade. A plentiful abundance of melon and papaya illuminates your palate with a juicy grapefruit finish. Days go by like a pillowy cloud drifting past the sun. We are shaped through the days and nights by the light we let in … Welcome to the Days of Sun
Under My Plum Current A generous helping of luscious plums gives this beer a delicious dark depth of stone fruit flavor, painted in beautiful watercolors over our sour Berliner Weiss base. A beer who has just changed its ways. Ain’t it the truth, babe? 5.2% ABV No IBU Lithermans Limited Sour – Berliner Weisse
100 (TDH W/ Mosaic) Label Current Burley Oak Brewing Company IPA – Imperial / Double 8.5% ABV 25 IBU Double IPA tripple dry-hopped with Mosaic

Traditional Lager Current Yuengling Brewery Lager – American Amber / Red 4.5% ABV 16 IBU Famous for its rich amber color and medium-bodied flavor with roasted caramel malt for a subtle sweetness and a combination of cluster and cascade hops, this true original delivers a well-balanced taste with very distinct character. Born from a historic recipe that was resurrected in 1987, Yuengling Traditional Lager is a true classic.
Black Widow On Deck Original Sin Cider – Other Fruit 6% ABV 72 IBU Black Widow is fruit-forward, yet tart, with a tantalizing complexity, made with blackberries and freshly pressed New York apples.
Kollaborationsbier (Batch #6) On Deck Jester King Brewery Collaboration with Live Oak Brewing Company Farmhouse Ale – Saison 6% ABV No IBU Kollaborationsbier is Live Oak Pilz wort fermented in stainless steel with Jester King mixed culture. The Pilz wort is brewed at Live Oak and driven across town to Jester King for fermentation. This simple, crushable beer maintains much of the Live Oak Pilz character when young and fresh, then goes through a mixed culture metamorphosis in the bottle as it ages. 6.0% abv.
Lager Town On Deck Half Acre Beer Company Festbier 5.8% ABV No IBU Take a trip to Octoberfest and hang out in Lager Town. A rich, malty Octoberfest experience awaits you. This marks Lager Town’s maiden voyage into bottles in an attempt to capture its sturdy amber frame.
Fractal Enigma/Galaxy On Deck Equilibrium Brewery IPA – American 6.8% ABV No IBU We use the Fractal series to investigate how different hops manifest through our processes, allowing us to optimize both our use of hops and our hopping techniques. Using only pale malt and hops, Fractal Enigma/Galaxy pours a hazy yellow releasing complex aromas and flavors of passionfruit, dank devils’ lettuce, white wine grapes, ripe peach flesh, bright grass, berry and currants, and Australian earth served with a lime wedge. A creamy melon forward #EQjuice finish awaits along with a touch of rounded bitterness leading you right into the next juicy sip.
Little Whaleboat On Deck Maine Beer Company IPA – American 6.5% ABV No IBU Notes of tropical fruit (mango, pineapple), grapefruit, pine, and floral aromas of rose and chamomile.

Protection of these islands provides sanctuary to a range of wildlife including seals, seabirds, shorebirds, and wading birds, while preserving a unique place off the coast of Maine for future generations to experience.

I’ve frequented Black Gryphon for nearly 15 years now, and can assuredly say it’s one of the best restaurants in south central PA. The food is wholly unique, ranging from tasty classics (like their award-winning chocolate hot wings and hamburgers with local grass-fed beef) to globally-inspired dishes that you won’t find anywhere else nearby. Their beer selection is also unparalleled, with 15+ taps of amazing craft pours from all around the country. The menu changes several times throughout the year too, ensuring that the food you’re enjoying is fresh, local and in-season. If you live in southern PA and love good food and libations, Black Gryphon is a MUST visit!

A Hidde GEM that is not so hidden. Tony the owner is very passionate about the arts. From food to drinks to the art hanging on the wall and the music that is played he puts thought into it all. This Farm to table restaurant is a fusion of foods. Every flavor, spice and sauce is there for a reason. From the start of the meal to the dessert you could not go wrong with anything on this seasonal changing menu. 12/10 hands down recommend.

Tonight was our first visit. The food was amazing, the drinks were amazing but the winner of the night was the fried ice cream. We will define back! The service was top notch as well!

This place is my new favorite. We’ve gone twice now. They make a decadent steak, and the perfect chicken fingers. After dinner, you NEED a Cafe Pucci. The server is awesome, and I loved that he remembered us.

My boyfriend and I just ate here for the first time and it was incredible! Our friends raved about it so we had to try. I don’t see how anyone could have a bad experience here. The food was amazing AND the staff is so friendly and welcoming. Our server Anika was the best! Will definitely be coming back more frequently.

Excellent food and service. The biggest plus is most of the food being outsourced to local farms. Not to mention local drink options. Love keeping it local.

It is the first time I have gone here. It was for a charity event. They worked hard to not only provide a great atmosphere, good food, and service, but they also give back to the community in a big way. This will become a regular stop for me.
