The lager for loggers big and small. Put an axe in one hand and a glass in the other. Safety not guaranteed.

Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your lager. I'm not sure why he would have, since he really doesn't have anything to do with it. It was here, resting for a long time in a fermenter far, far away. Biding its time to become the greatest lager in the galaxy. A crisp, refreshing rice lager destined to rule The Empire. Search your feelings. You know it to be true.

Gargantuan. Tenacious. Foreboding. Ominous. Portentous. Really, there are endless ways to describe the terrible creature lurking beneath the waves. One sailor managed to escape a death defying encounter with the beast. Xavier Luis floated upon a raft of his splintered hull to tell the townsfolk that the legends were true. In the darkness, it waits. Many will pass unknowingly above it. Only some will survive.

Folklore is the body of expressive culture shared by a particular group of people, culture, or subculture. Oaklore is an oak aged lager meant to elicit the same warm fuzzy feeling that listening to a familiar story around a roaring fire. Sit back, relax, and let the comfort of a folk tale envelope you as the smooth unique taste of a pint of Oaklore washes it down.

Charlemagne. Midas. Lear? There are countless kings throughout history, both real and imagined. Most of them get to wear crowns. Or maybe they have to wear crowns. That's the whole thing: crowns are heavy. They're metal and covered in jewels. It's a lot. What isn't heavy is this crushable, classic Hefeweizen, ready to happily serve at your side and fill your cup for time immemorial.

So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay.
Except Ponyboy.
And maybe this shimmering blonde ale blended with rich coffee for a taste far superior to anything you'll find digging around in those old dusty treasure chests.

You talkin' to me? Yeah, you up there. What, you think you're better than me? Put 'em up! That's what I thought. This all Citra hazy pale ale might be slight on ABV, but it still packs a punch. Just like me! Step up or step off. Shape up or ship out. Go big or go gnome!

The Twilight saga. Bonnie Tyler. Sugar free gum. These are just some famous eclipses from around the world. But the best one? The real one in outer space that can only be seen from Earth. In honor of the April 2024 total solar eclipse, we've created Sun Shroud: a hazy New England IPA featuring Citra, Nectaron, and, of course, Eclipse hops. Don't stare too long. And remember: glasses on.

Not that long ago, in a taproom relatively close by, a NEIPA with cryo hops and honey was created to fuel the Rebel Alliance. Take a break from bullseyeing wamprats in your T16 and make the Kessel run on your way to Fabled Brew Works for a pint of Episode IV: A New Hop. Don't have a bad motivator: get off your tin can and get some of this hazy IPA before it's gone.

There's no place like home: except maybe the taproom at Fabled Brew Works. Dorothy's ruby slippers from The Wizard of Oz are so iconic that they are on display at the Smithsonian. Part of our Founder's series, this Red IPA is Jon Schrage and Jamie Schaber's ode to Ruby; not the slippers, but the friendly fluffy dog so iconic that she makes Toto look like a lazy lump in a bicycle hand basket. Clink two glasses together three times and you'll be heading down the Yellow Brick Road before you know it.

F is for friends who drinks beers together
U is for you and meeeee
N is for anywhere but mostly at Fabled Brew Works
down here in the deep blue seaaaaa...

The Fabled Brew Works IPA
Is the IPA
For you and Meeeeeheheheeeheeeeeeee

Housed in wigwams in the North lands of Narnia, marsh-wiggles live a solitary life (for they are very fond of privacy). They eat eel stew, eel pie, and fricasseed frogs. They smoke heavey tobacco mixed with mud, the smoke of which floats to the ground. At least one of them likes whiskey. What does all this have to do with a New England IPA with guava and marshmallow? Not much, other than marsh-wiggle and marshmallow share a syllable. But, no matter. As one marsh-wiggle says: "Life isn't all fricasseed frogs and eel pie."

The origin of the word 'pixie' is uncertain. Could be Nordic, could be Cornish, could be Swedish. No one knows for sure. What we do know for sure is that they inhabit ancient underground sites like barrows and stone circles. And they also produce this potion, a berliner brimming with pink lemonade as much as the pixies themselves brim with mischief. What does it do? Guess you'll have to find out for yourself.

Beloved hero, adventurer, author, orc slayer, and conqueror of Lobelia Sackville-Baggins is the one and only Bilbo Baggins. Short in stature, but large in heart, Bilbo has inspired generations the world over as well as inspiring a blueberry cashew sour: Bilberry Baggins. Instead of trying to figure out what he has in his pockets, grab some coins from yours and get yourself Bilbo's beautiful berliner. He's going on an adventure. You should join him.

This sword of legend was empowered by Solcius, the greatest guild mage ever known. But great power comes with great responsibility, and many have been deemed unworthy of the mighty Avo's Tear. How will you fare when judgement is passed by Albion's most legendary heroes?
Meh. We'll probably serve it to you regardless.

It's not a Djinn and tonic, it's better. Djinns have been known to grant wishes and yours just came true. Djinn and Juice: Rasberry Blackberry Vanilla is an ice cream sour that dreams are made of. Loaded with raspberry, blackberry, and vanilla flavor, its a drink fit for everyone from treasure hunting princes to California rappers rolling down the street.

Djinn, Jinn, Jinni, or Aladdin's favorite buddy, Genie, whatever you call them, they've been around since time immemorial. Sometimes invisible, other times changelings, snakes, scorpions, lizards, and even humans, djinn are literally beings 'concealed from the senses'. Djinn and Juice: Orange Lime is anything but concealed from the senses. Loaded with orange and lime flavor, this ice cream sour can be sipped, laid back, with your mind on your money and your money on your mind.

Eye of newt and toe of frog, wool of bat and tongue of dog. You won't find those ingredients here, but you will find a green apple tart ice cream sour, shimmering like a spooky serum.

Aguamenti! Or beer-amenti!? This is a mash-up of two of our favorite things: Harry Potter and beer! So take a trip on the Hogwarts Express and ride the rails with this potent potable. Have a few too many and you'll soon be saying "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good!"

Kazgoroth, the Beast. He has come to destroy the Earthmother. He's a shapechanger, and this time he's taken the form of a stout with coffee and hazelnuts. It may not help him in his efforts to corrupt the island of Gwyneth, but it will certainly help bring an impressive deluge of flavor to this imperial monstrosity. His battle with the Leviathan, the Pack, and Kamerynn the Unicorn may rage endlessly, but this stout won't last forever.

A medieval Irish legend brings us the tale of Laignech Faelad: the man that shifted into wolf-shapes. According to the Coir Anmann, he and his offspring would turn into wolf men and kill the herds. Wherefore he was called Laignech Faelad, for he was the first of them all. He and his men were willing to work for anyone willing to pay. We won't get into their payment method. Instead, focus on this Irish cream stout and how glad you are that there are no wolf men coming for you. Hopefully.

"His Imperial Majesty's Desert Botanical Testing Station" and home to the spice, Arrakis is the most important planet in the universe. This stout with coconut, caramel, vanilla, and macadamia nuts just might be the most important stout in the universe. It can't be used to make melange, at least that we know of, but it can be used as an oasis in an otherwise desert environment. Like a dusty world with no vegetation. You know, like a big sandy mound. There's a word for it. Eh, it'll come to us eventually.

Living battering rams that serve as the backbone of the ferocious Swarm, the biggest badass of them all is the aptly named Ultralisk. Anchoring the Zerg army, these hulking monsters are the scourge of the universe: Protoss and Terran alike.

So spawn some additional overlords and prepare yourself... this monstrous blend of coconut, coffee, and vanilla is sure to keep all your invading armies at bay.

Below the towering Cretan mountain, Ida and Adrasteia nursed the infant Zeus. Feeding him milk of the goat Amalthea, the pair cared for the young King of the Gods. Once while picking snow-white berries for the boy, Ida pricked her finger, staining the berry with her blood, coloring it red for all eternity. Thus was born the "bramble bush of Ida", the raspberry. As a reward for their love, Zeus turned the two nymphs into constellations: Adrasteia became Ursa Major, the Great Bear. May she watch over you as she did Zeus.

Were Harry and Marv really that bad? It seems like the parents are the real villains here, leaving their son behind while they go gallivanting all across the globe. Meanwhile, all the Wet Bandits did was break and enter, harrass a child, and attempt to commit numerous crimes on Christmas. Okay, fine. They're the villains. But this pear, kiwi, banana ice cream session mead is no villain. It's a hero. Hm. Maybe we should have called it Kevin.

Though never proven, it's alleged that Jay Gatsby made his new money fortune via bootlegging. No matter how it came to be, there's no denying his greatness. Greatness that can only be matched by a blackberry chocolate chip ice cream session mead, perfect for that fanciest of Long Island parties. So we beat on, our boats against the current, borne ceaselessly into another full pour.

It’s 1925 and St. Paul, Minnesota is brimming with criminals. The Bootleggers Wife takes a look from an unusual angle, telling the story of a woman trapped in a life of crime. Charlotte LeDoux, wife of bootlegging kingpin Gus "Lucky" LeDoux, seeks freedom for herself and safety for her child. Their relationship may not be the model for Valentine's Day love, but this lovingly crafted mead is the model for Valentine's Day delight. Banana, walnut, and maple come together like Charlotte's plan of escape: like a dream.

Sure, he's not a bootlegger... or even an insurance salesman with obvious Mafia ties. But the Scranton Strangler still kinda fits our mead theme since he's at least a notorious criminal (even if Toby has doubts). This delightful tribute features white grape and... chokeberries!It might not make the local headlines, and you sure won't find it at Poor Richard's. But this one is sneaky, and it'll take your breath away.

The Sugar House Gang, also dubbed the Purple Gang, ran Detroit's mob scene during prohibition. Known for their savagery, they were involved (or suspected of involvement) in the Cleaners and Dryers War, Milfaflores Massacre, St. Valentine's Day Massacre, and Collingwood Manor Massacre. In short: they were notorious. And our black currant, blueberry, cherry, and vanilla mead is notoriously delectable. Grab a sugar rush in the Sugar House before it's too late.

During Prohibition, there was a woman named Gertrude “Cleo” Lythgoe, known for supplying liquor to Americans in need. Thankfully nowadays you don't have to travel to the Lucerne Hotel in Nassau to get some of the good stuff. It's right here in this lime, coconut, and banana mead.

A Chicago-area gangster and bootlegger who would eventually give way to Al Capone, Bloody Angelo ran the merciless family business known for it's short temper and aggressive negotiations. Blood red in color and bursting with fruit punch flavor, this mead brings an intensity that appropriately reflects its namesake.

Drawing inspiration from Amos Owens and his renowned moonshine blends of whiskey, honey, and cherries, Cherry Bounce Jr. is our mead made from honey and cherries. People would travel from all over to try Owens' beverage, and we hope this remake will be just as enticing. This Marshmallow version is the newest addition to the series, but it surely won't be the last.

Once called 'The most dangerous man in the country', "Red" Dillard Morrison was a mob boss and enforcer in 1930's Harlem. An associate of Lucky Luciano and one time paramour of singer Etta James, Red spent his days moving product and making enemies out of rivals like Bumpy Johnson. After being arrested in 1950 and paralyzed in a prison fight in 1953, Red was released in 1955 to continue plying his trade well into his 60's. His namesake mead is a raspberry dream: dangerously tasty for dangerous Red.

Edward Edwards vowed to make "New Jersey wetter than the Atlantic" as part of his 1919 Applejack campaign. While we're not that interested in the moisture level of the Garden State, we are interested in offering a delightful apple pie mead to honor his efforts.  This version has been barrel aged to add another dimension of deliciousness.
