NEW RELEASE

The Blue Wrapper - Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout, 11.8%
Our second collaboration with the Melanated Mash Makers (and the second of our 5 for 5 collabs we are doing for the Autumn Arch 5th anniversary). Collectively, we wanted to make an imperial stout amalgamated with an almond joy bar…and we think we got there. Soft nudges of roasted almonds, silky coconut, and dark roast coffee waft from the surface of this thick and deeply rich stout. Aged in 5 year Elk bourbon barrels (and you won’t miss this particular feature).

Mass Balance - Sticke Alt, 7.0%
Everything that an altbier is, but way more assertive and self-assured (like an older sibling).  This ruby-hued ale has strong malt character with toffee notes and with a spicy medley of noble hops.

Refined Cheering - Pub Beer, 3.6%
Our take on the everyday pub ale.  Easy drinking, light, and golden.  The slight citrus hop character mingles pleasantly with the cracker-like maltiness and creamy mouthfeel.  Pairs well with warm fall afternoons and copious leaf raking.

Watermelon Cherry - Tart Saison, 7.1%
A lovingly blended barrel aged sour. We took a young Foeder sour aged on a pairing of sweet cherry and watermelon for 4 months, and blended it with a barrel that had been conditioned for 14 months on mango and pomegranate. This one ended up as a beautiful bouquet of herbal, barnyard funk, watermelon rind, and tart berries. Thirst-quenching yet cheek-puckering. Notes of sour candied berries and fresh pressed watermelon juice.

IPA

Newark State of Mind - IPA, 6.0%
Change is inexorable. After quite a few test batches over the past 6 months, we arrived at a new and more approachable ‘Newark’ with a dialed back the ABV but with the same remarkably clean malt character, lingering bitterness, and piercing medley of Pacific Northwest hops.

Table Juicy - Session IPA, 4.5%
Crisp, light, and hoppy - this table IPA strikes just the right notes with fluffy cereal combining with soft pine and citrus. Low ABV and bitterness to accentuate the juiciness.

GOLDEN ALES & LAGERS

Simple Surrealism - Apricot Wheat Ale, 5.6%
The rare wheat ale from Autumn Arch.  This one is a juicy blend of ripe apricot with the light and effervescent body of a classic American Wheat Ale.  A pinch of bitterness from a small addition of Galaxy hops and finishes with a touch of soft, doughy breadiness.

Vibrant Thoughts - Belgian Tripel, 11.7%
The first of our 5 Collab Series!  We worked together with our friends over at First State Brewing Company to make this Tripel conditioned on peaches and aged in Bourbon Barrels (said barrels had a chardonnay in residence before arrival, so this one definitely has layers of complexity).  We get strong peach jam and a hint of clove in the aroma.  Peaches, pineapple, and a white wine minerality linger on the palette of this boozy Belgian.

Arch Lite - Pale Lager, 4.6%
A crisp & lean lager for the sophisticated craft beer enthusiast. Defined by a dry and uncomplicated smoothness.

DARK(er) ALES & LAGERS

Big Flannel Energy - Czech Dark Lager, 5.3%
Utilizing lager yeast and a medley of malts from the Czech Republic, Germany and the UK, we crafted a classic dark lager to keep you warm as the weather cools. Aromatic wafts of fresh roasted coffee beans play off of woody and softly herbal nuances. Roasty rich malt profile with hints of char mingling with notes of pumpernickel and rye bread, a crisp body of medium roasted coffee with a smooth finish that allows a mellow bitterness to shine.

Living All Over Me - Altbier, 5.0%
An ale originally brewed in Dusseldorf, Germany using the “alt” or“old” style of brewing.  Bright aromas of bread crust, and noble hop floral spice permeate throughout this copper-hued beer.  We brewed this one with a special blend of Pennsylvania and European malts, noble hops, and yeast from Dusseldorf (we went straight to the source).  This fall classic was lovingly lagered before we canned it.  We even put it in a few kegs.

SOURs & WILD ALES

Rad Machinations - Dark Sour, 6.5%
Every once in a while, a superb sour emerges from the barrel program.  This is one of them.  Aromas of sage and barnyard funk mingle over a deep ruby red body.  Medium tartness, maximum elegance.

High Viscosity! Pacific Cooler - Sour, 6.4%
A concoction of Prickly Pear, Pineapple, Orange, and Black Currant artfully blended together to recreate the juice pouch classic. This pink hued sour is like a soft and bountiful bouquet of pears and pineapple spritzer.  We get a medley of pineapple popsicles, morning OJ, and hints of pear which all come together in a nostalgic showcase of a 90s summer afternoon.

Color of Your Energy - Amber Sour, 6.5%
Aromas of barnyard funk, cherry pie, and leather. Tart up front with a nice bready sweetness on the back end. Bright flavors of tart cherries, sweet bread, and a funk reminiscent of bleu cheese.

What beers do you make and do any of them come in cans?
We boldly brew all styles of beer, but we are particularly fond of American IPAs, sour beer, and obscure German lagers. Check out what we have in cans and bottles.

Are dogs welcome?
Yes, well-behaved dogs are welcome inside the tasting room and at our outdoor seating. However, no dogs are allowed to sit at the bar for safety reasons. Note: we have asked aggressive/loud dogs to leave in the past, so please know your dog’s behavior around other dogs, people, and noise before dropping in.

Can I get your beer anywhere in Delaware?
Nope. Just the Autumn Arch tasting room and occasionally The Delaware Growler and a couple of rad craft beer bars.

Are you a sour beer brewery only?
We serve sour beers (on purpose), but we do not exclusively serve sour beer. We love a crisp IPA just as much as you. Check out our delightfully diverse lineup of beers.

Can I purchase growlers to go?
No, we are not stocking glass growlers at this time; however, we have loads of the much more dynamic and versatile crowler (32 oz can format). So no need to fret when you show up to the brewery empty handed.

Can I get my own growler filled (Because I have 30 of them)?
We don’t discriminate on growler brand, so go ahead and bring your Pliny the Elder, 1st Edition 64oz growler. We’ll bask in the splendor together. Just make sure your growler has the appropriate warning label. #governmentrules

Do you have food?
We often have food trucks on premises. We update the food schedule on our website and social media feed weekly.

Is it easy to park?
Hell yes. Choose from the myriad spots at the front, back, and sides of our 5400 sqft warehouse.

Do you sell kegs for backyard BBQs, weddings, and awesome basement bars?
Yes we do! Send an email over to hello@autumnarch.com and we can get you set up.

Can I have a private event there?
Sure can. All the details on reserving the space are here.
