VERUCA SALT
IMPERIAL PASTRY STOUT
Every December we brew a Pastry Stout for our Griffin Series. In past years we have done Augustus Gloop (a sea salt and caramel pastry stout) and Violet Beauregarde (a blueberry cobbler pastry stout). This year we concocted Veruca Salt an Imperial Pastry Stout with dark chocolate, sea salt, roasted peanuts and lactose. It is a full bodied, thick brew with beautiful lacing. As it warms in the glass, wonderful peanut butter and chocolate aromas emerge.

WARHAZE
HAZY SOUR IPA
KETTLE SOURED
This beer was crafted to answer one question. Are your taste buds ready For war? Packed with tartness and balanced by hop driven tropical fruit notes, this game changing libation was crafted by fusing two styles of beer into one. First kettle soured and then brewed with the popular hazy IPA in mind, Warhaze is a roller-coaster of tantalizing taste bud stimulation and mind melting innovative layers of flavor. Dry-hopped with a monumental amount of Australian Galaxy, Pacific Jade and New Zealand Wakatu, this combination of southern hemisphere hops yields a very unique bouquet of tropical fruit which blends well with this crisp tart sour.
STRAWBERRY HAZY CAKES
HAZY IPA
W/ LOCAL STRAWBERRIES & LACTOSE
One of the coolest things about being a community driven brewery is the opportunity we have to incorporate ingredients from other hard working, like-minded individuals. For this crazy hazy libation, we used a massive amount of farm fresh, vine ripened strawberries from our friends at Patterson Farm. These uber locally sourced berries bring an amazing freshness that helps balance out this triple dry hopped juicy beauty. We at New Sarum Brewing and the awesome farmers at Patterson Farm want to thank you for supporting local. Cheers!
BEER AF
AMERICAN LAGER
DRY-HOPPED W/ CRYO CITRA, CRYO MOSAIC & CRYO EKUANOT
So for pride month we thought why not have a lager that is triple dry-hopped? This full spectrum of non-conformity has a lager like clean crispness that is dominated by pineapple and stone fruit aromas generated by the massive dry hopping additions. Think outside the box and enjoy the kaleidoscope of color and much needed acceptances that is Beer AF.
PRINCESS PEACH
HAZY IPA
W/ BLOOD PEACHES & LACTOSE
The princess just leveled up! We decided for this round to create princess peach as a milkshake hazy IPA. To make this royal elixir we used over 150 pounds of blood peaches, eight different cryo hop varietals and sweetened her up with the addition of lactose. All these amazing elements blend together to fabricate a fruit forward creamy peach juice bomb which coincidentally you could use to win a certain go cart race. Game on!
NETFLIX & DILL
DILL PICKLE IMPERIAL GOSE
W/ CORIANDER, RED SEA SALT, FRESH DILL, CUCUMBER, GARLIC & DILL PICKLING SPICES
Some of the Stranger Things in the world come from wacky ideas. This imperial gose is brewed with coriander, red sea salt, fresh dill, cucumbers, fresh garlic and our own blend of dill pickling spices. We needed to use our degrees from The Umbrella Academy to come up with this combination! This dill-icious, savory, herbaceous, briny concoction is perfect for beating the heat, mixing up a Michelada or the perfect substitution for a pickle back. Come with us on this journey, stare into the Black Mirror, curl up on the couch and we can binge watch everything together! Oh yeah Pickle Rick!
THE PEOPLE’S ELBOW
HAZY IPA
W/ COCONUT & LACTOSE
Do you smell… what New Sarum… is cooking?? A new hazy milkshake IPA, that’s what!!! We put the smackdown on Some kakamoras & out came this! A 7% ABV coconut hazy milkshake IPA. We brewed it with an insane amount of El Dorado, Cryo-Mosaic, and Cryo-Citra hops, plus an massive amount of shredded coconut. Don’t raise your eyebrow until you try it!
VINCENT MANGO
HAZY MILKSHAKE IPA
W/ MANGO & LACTOSE
Why hello there! It’s me. Vincent Mango… Do you get it? Well this year for my birthday month these crazy kids over at New Sarum decided to put me in a can and oh boy let me tell you, it is a doozy. They painted this broad stroked masterpiece with gargantuan amounts of Cryo Mosaic, Cryo Ekuanot, Cyro Simcoe, Cryo Citra, and Sabro; lest we forget the mammoth amount of mango puree that was blended in the most Dutch Post-Impressionistic way possible. Oh the aroma! So good it will make you chop off your ear.
BLUE FLOWER PURPLE SOUR POWER
SOUR ALE
W/ JAPANESE BUTTERFLY PEA FLOWER
Beer is science and science is very cool! This tasty beverage supports this decree more than most things. For this lovely little libation, we used an amazing ingredient call Japanese Butterfly Pea Flower. This beautiful little bright blue flower is what is called a PH Indicator. That means it changes color depending on the PH of a solution that it is in. Because this is brewed as a Berliner Weisse, its color changes from blue to purple as we sour the beer. So the next time anyone asks you, “what is so great about beer?” you can now scream “science!” right in their face. You’re welcome.
6° OF HAZE
HAZY IPA
W/ ALL CRYO HOPS
This beer is a concept. It gloriously hypothesizes that any two hop strains on Earth are six or fewer acquaintances from Kevin Bacon! Brewed with lactose, 6 strains of 100% cryo hops and massive amounts of wheat and oats, this Hazy Milkshake IPA is guaranteed to get you to the extraordinarily majestic KB in less than 6.
Hops used in the making of this fine elixir: Cryo Citra, Cryo Loral, Cryo Simcoe, Cryo Cascade, Cryo Ekuanot, Cryo Mosaic
VIOLET BEAUREGARDE
BLUEBERRY COBBLER STOUT

Your turning violet, Violet”. Tasting notes for this libation start with a huge creamy full body which gives forth to a chocolatey graham cracker crust packed full of blueberry juicy goodness.

SEEING SHADOWS
BILL MURRAY INSPIRED
ALE BREWED W/ LACTOSE, MAPLE SYRUP, COFFEE & FAT STACKS OF PANCAKES & WAFFLES
I have always wondered what it would be like to not have to worry. The comfort of knowing tomorrow will be just right because you know what to expect. But then I realize, some of the best times I have ever had were because of not knowing. Seeing Shadows is a beer made to raise a glass to discovery. To not knowing. To hoping that Phil sees his shadow so we can keep making dark beer. To the spontaneity of Bill Murray. To using unusual ingredients. Cheers! Tasting notes: breakfast with sweet, smooth creamy coffee and maple syrup followed by fat stacks of pancakes and waffles with vanilla on top!
AUGUSTUS GLOOP
IMPERIAL PASTRY STOUT
W/ LACTOSE, CARAMEL AND HAWAIIAN RED SEA SALT

Brewed with over 300 pounds of caramel topping and just a pinch of Hawaiian red sea salt, this imperial pastry stout would impress even the likes of Wonka himself! Tasting notes for this libation start with a huge creamy full body that gives forth to big chocolatey caramel and ends with a well blanched hint of salt. Dip your toe in or jump in face first, either way you are going to get you’re golden tickets worth!

RAZOR’S EDGE
HAZY IPA
AGED ON WHITE OAK
Now introducing Razor’s Edge! This beer is here for the title of the baddest new brew in all the land so don’t be surprised if it throws a toothpick at your face chico! Triple dry-hopped with Cryo Ekuanot Citra, and El Dorado and aged on white oak, this hazy IPA is in homage of the best of the N.W.O. Bad dudes! It’s walk to the ring sporting gold chains, has a complex nose of tropical fruits & oak, and it’s oozing machismo. Drink this and try not to say “hey yo…”
BACK IN SESSION
SESSION HAZY IPA
TRIPLE DRY-HOPPED JUICE BOMB
Back In Session Hazy IPA was developed to master the balance between a massive amount of flavor and aromatics with the need for sessional drinkability. This lower octane, more consumable, triple dry hopped juice bomb makes it possible to enjoy more than one with friends and not be late for the next day. Think of it as a reminder to every one of us that absolutely needed spring semester extra credit papers around this time of the year. “I think of all the education that i missed, but then my homework was never quite like this!”
PINK CHEEKS
ROSÉ GOSE
WITH ROSE BUDS, HIBISCUS, CORIANDER, HAWAIIAN RED SEA SALT, MELON PURÉE AND BARBA ROUGE HOPS
One of our goals as a brewery is to educate consumers. Through this process we hope to prove that with creativity and technique, beer can rise to the level and respect of wine and spirits. With this lofty idea in mind, we set out on a journey of reflection and experimentation which resulted in the creation of this eclectic sour. Pink Cheeks is super cerebral gose style ale brewed with rose buds, hibiscus, coriander, hawaiian red sea salt, and melon puree. With these unique ingredients along with the use of a new hop varietal by the name of Barba Rouge, we were able to mirror a very popular style of wine called rosé. We hope you are fond of the depth of flavor, innovation, imagination as well as the bright pink cheeks you will get while enjoying this wine inspired creation.
BERRY SMALLS
BERLINER WEISSE
W/ BLACKBERRIES, RASPBERRIES, BLUEBERRIES & LACTOSE

This milkshake berliner weisse is made with lactose and over 450 pounds of blueberry, black berry and raspberry puree all in hopes that this reference will never be forgotten! Berries and cream berries and cream i’m a little lad who likes berries and cream! We can only hope that you like this amazing Elixir as much as that little lad loved his candy.
TART CHERRY
SOUR STOUT
AGED ON OAK & CHERRIES
This eccentric stout celebrates our urge to bend space and time! It is our duty to think outside of what is conventional and explore the darkness.

We hope you enjoy your paradoxical journey.
