The Localist

Cream Ale is a homegrown beer style that dates all the way back to antebellum New York. It is brewed with ale yeast but formulated like a pale lager; this makes it the American answer to Kolsch. The Localist pays tribute to that local heritage with a recipe formulated from 100% New York ingredients; a taste not only of an authentically New York style, but also an authentically New York terroir. It is not brewed with cream, and it’s not exactly sweet, but low bitterness lends the same lightly sweet perception you’d find in Kolsch or Helles. We love to serve The Localist draft on nitro.
