Cheshire Grin

Nitro Pub Ale | 5.5%

One sip and you’ll be grinning ear to ear as well! A classic ESB brewed with prized heirloom Maris Otter and Target and Williamette hops, Cheshire Grin would be at home in the cozy British pub. The simple pleasure of enjoying the honest brew is as magical as Alice’s most wondrous adventure.

Vespucci 3

Dry Hopped Pilsner | 5%

In 1501 Amerigo Vespucci determined that South America was a separate continent—a fact far more important than most beer lovers realize. Unwittingly, explorers played matchmaker between a cold-tolerant yeast from Patagonia and a long-established Eurasian brewing yeast. The result of this liaison was the yeast used to ferment lager beer. We brewed Vespucci Connection as a classic German Pilsner with a small dry hop to celebrate this most positive of intercontinental connections!

SQUEEGEE MASTER w/Passion Fruit & Tahitian Lime

Fruited Gose | 4.7%

This tart ale was brewed with passion fruit, grains of paradise, Tahitian lime, coriander, and Himalayan pink salt. Squeegee Master is like drinking in a fresh ocean breeze!

Silver Saint

Tripel | 9%

Silver Saint is brewed to inspire a moment of calm and relaxation. The traditional Belgian yeast makes for a complex fruity and spicy ale that starts off slightly sweet and finishes refreshingly dry and effervescent.

Half Pipe

Double IPA | 8.5%

This hop bomb will send you flying high! One sip and you’ll be soaring above the constraints of gravity and beyond the reach of petty annoyances. Brewed with Ekuanot, Strata, and Citra hops and given an extra punch with Citra incognito, HALF PIPE is a multi-hued explosion of happy, hoppy goodness.

Quantum Shift Vol. 14

IPA | 6.2%

Quantum Shift Vol. 14 features Amarillo, Zamba, and Mosaic Incognito. With different hops in every batch, the ever-shifting array of flavors will alter your sense of reality and feed your obsession with fresh.

Downtown Double Shake

Milkshake IPA | 10.2%

A collaboration with Idiom Brewing Co. (Frederick, MD)! Why see single when you can see double? Brewed with double the love by double the normal number of breweries, with double the hop, double the pineapple, and…well you get the picture! Downtown Double Shake will have you shaking your booty. Grab one and go!

Gilded Age

Golden Strong | 9.2%

Golden Strong Ale was Belgium’s answer to beer drinkers’ increasing preference for golden lagers in the early 20th century. Lore has it that the brewer deemed his creation a “devil of a beer.” We consider it devilish for its combination of easy drinkability yet substantial strength. Gilded Age is beautiful subtle—fruity apple and pear notes from the yeast and just a tad spicy from the Saaz hops with a bit of alcohol warmth in the finish.

Unicycle Vigilante

Bockbier | 6.8% ABV

A wallet was dropped, then grabbed by a would-be thief. Enter our hero: A Silver Spring brewery Über-fan on his trusty one-wheeled hoverboard. After recovering the dropped wallet, our unicycle-riding fan returned to his primary mission of personifying Gemütlichkeit and good cheer. Silver Branch and Astro Lab collaborated to celebrate this mutual friend with a traditional bockbier to welcome winter. Malty and smooth wit a subtle caramel sweetness in the finish, Unicycle Vigilante is the perfect beer to raise your spirits on a cold and dreary day, or to raise them even higher on a beautiful, sunny one! Raise a glass to good deeds and spreading warmth and happiness among people.

Glass Castle

Pilsener | ABV 5.0%

Flavorful, yet eminently drinkable. The delicate balance between bready malt and spicy and grassy Czech hops make it obvious why this beer inspired the lager revolution. Glass Castle is Silver Branch’s holy grail—getting this elusive style right reflects the passion we bring to the craft and science of brewing.

We use reverse osmosis-soft water, imported Bohemian barley and Saaz hops, and a traditional decoction mash to give you a classic Bohemian Pilsener that is smooth and satisfying.

Nitro Chronicle

Nitro Foreign Extra Stout | 7.2% ABV

Nitro poured tableside! We’ve nitro-canned our delicious Foreign Extra Stout for an even more luscious and smooth finish! Unrefined Panela sugar adds a toffee note to the smooth roast and rich malt reminiscent of dark chocolate, caramel, and coffee!

Beyond the Gnome World

Saison | 4.9%

Silver Branch will stop at nothing as we sail to new horizons in search of beer excellence! Beyond the Gnome World is a classical saison, brewed with pilsner malt, Saaz hops, and a blend of Saison yeasts from two Belgian breweries!

Chronicle

Foreign Extra Stout | ABV 6.5%

Tropical stout has evolved as it has migrated from its Irish birthplace to being brewed in the American, African and Asian tropics. Silver Branch’s Chronicle continues that ongoing story. We’ve married smooth roast with luscious malt to give you a beer reminiscent of dark chocolate, rich caramel, and coffee. The addition of unrefined Colombian panela sugar gives Chronicle a distinct rummy toffee finish.

High Time

Triple Dry-Hopped Imperial IPA | 9.2%

It’s High Time you poured yourself another celebration of hops from Silver Branch! Brewed with Samba, Motueka, Mosaic Incognito, and Simcoe, this one’s a tropical hop bomb! Close your eyes and inhale the heady aromas and you’ll imagine yourself skiing through drifts of pure lupulin powder!

OBSIDIAN CASTLE

Tmavé Special | 6.0%

This dark lager drinks smooth and malty with mild chocolate notes rather than burnt or roasted malt flavors. A generous dose of Czech-grown Saaz hops round out this stronger-than-average Tmavé Pivo

Thunder Gnome

Dry Hopped Saison | 7.9%

With summer just around the corner, THUNDER GNOME is preparing his electric bolts for the first lightning show of the year. Brewed with corn and dry-hopped with mellow Mt. Hood and Cascade hops, this special saison will electrify your taste buds!

Sisyphus

Double IPA | 8.3

As the first beer ever brewed at Silver Branch, SISYPHUS has a special place in our hearts. Brewed for the first time as a DIPA, this second-year edition is an update of the original recipe. It’s a bigger version with Mosaic Incognito, Strata, El Dorado, and Amarillo.

SQUEEGEE MASTER w/Raspberry Tahitian Lime

Fruited Gose | 4.7%

This tart ale was brewed with raspberry, grains of paradise, Tahitian lime, coriander, and Himalayan pink salt. Squeegee Master is like drinking in a fresh ocean breeze!
