Cash Craft Beer Bar sponsored by Paramount Merchants Beer List:

- JK’s Scrumpy Organic Farmhouse Cider: Almar Orchard is well known for its dedication to “quality over quantity.” and is continuing in its set course of being the best that they can be. The pride in a job well done and the care that is taken to produce a top-notch product is, and always has been, what makes Almar Orchard one-of-a-kind.

- North Coast’s Brother Thelounious: North Coast Brewing Co. makes a donation to the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz for every bottle of Brother Thelonious Belgian Style Abbey Ale sold. Like a Belgian "Dark Strong Ale," this beer is rich and robust with an ABV of 9.3%.

- New Holland’s Dragon’s Milk: Dragon’s Milk Ale, is a crown jewel of New Holland Brewing Company. Roasty malt character intermingled with deep vanilla tones, all dancing in an oak bath. Pairings: red meat, smoked foods, balsamic, rich cheese & dark chocolate.

- Southern Tier’s 2XIPA: An Indian Pale Ale kicked up a notch to create a true Double IPA. Feverishly hopping with a strong malt backbone and a higher than average alcohol content. Citrusy hops tease the senses with aromatics and lingering bitterness with a perfect balance of malt.
