NEW RELEASES

New Stories - Pale Ale, 4.7%
This crisp Pale Ale brings together the best of both hemispheres with a blend of U.S. and New Zealand Cascade hops. Bright notes of orange rind and grapefruit shine through a dry, refreshing finish. Clean, citrusy, and endlessly crushable.

Paradise Renamed - Hefeweizen, 5%
This classic Hefeweizen pours a naturally cloudy hue, true to style.  Bold clove spice takes the lead, backed by soft whispers of banana and delicate honey malt sweetness.  Light-bodied and smooth, its a flavorful yet refreshing wheat beer made for slow sips and sunny days.

Louie Lager - Mexican Amber Lager, 4.9%
A smooth and easy-drinking brew, crafted with a generous dose of flaked corn for a light body and a creamy mouthfeel.  Caramel malts lend just a touch of sweetness and color, balancing the crisp finish with a subtle toasty note.  Refreshing and mellow, it’s the perfect pint for long days and warm nights.

IPA

Sketchwork - Hazy IPA, 6.6%
A small ode to all the creative work put into the Autumn Arch can and bottle line-up over the past six years.  123 and counting.  Sketchwork is the prototypical hazy IPA with generous tropical fruit and citrus elements forged into a delicate IPA with supremely low bitterness (and low clarity…by design).

Dope Vibes - West Coast IPA, 6.6%
We could have also called this one ‘dank vibes’.  A wafting aroma of resinous pine meets a bone dry pale ale with a pillowy and lingering bitterness.  The vibes are alright with this one.

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

Morning Blonde - Blonde Ale, 5.8%
A dry and crisp blonde ale with a light hop bitterness with subtle notes of citrus and lime and a touch of the dank.

Prison Yard Vibes - Cream Ale, 5.5%
An uncomplicated, faintly sweet, and light-bodied golden ale with a bit of crushed corn in the malt bill (which is where the ‘cream’ in the style comes from).  It’s the original lawnmower beer.
Fact: One of the first Autumn Arch beers, American Blonde, was technically a cream ale recipe.

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

Fade to Bock - Doppelbock, 7.9%
This classic German lager stands out with a robust malt profile and a light dusting of cherries, toasted almonds, and a hint of rye spice. Fade to Bock delivers layers of complexity with nuanced flavors in every sip.

Wild Screed - Porter, 4.7%
Looks do not deceive. It’s another dark beer for sunny afternoons and long nights. A sophisticated mix of dark chocolate, lightly roasted coffee beans, and a mild nuttiness are forged together in this medium bodied dark ale.
Not sure why we rarely make this style, but let us know if we should change our behaviors and make more.

Old Stories - Dark Mild, 4.7%
A supremely approachable British pub staple accented with notes of lightly charred malt, cocoa dusted shortbread, and a soft breadiness that rounds it all together.  In other words, a dark beer that’s ready for springtime.

Astral Transit Through Saturn’s Return - Barleywine, 11%
Epic is an understatement with this one.  Our collab day back in February 2024 with Dogfish Head (at our place!) was a superb morning of shared brew stories and plenty of high fives.  The beer was already delicious 3 weeks in, but then we doubled down on the complexity with an 8-month stint in Sam Adams Utopias barrels.  The resulting strong-bodied barleywine was rife with deep caramel flavors along with just a bit of woodiness.  A pinch of smoked star anise and ulfa black chilis yields a warming sensation against a backdrop of savory raisin and toffee. ‘Astral Transit’ is the last of our 5 for 5 Collaboration Series celebrating 5 years of Autumn Arch Beer Project!

SOURs & WILD ALES

Deep Observations - Blackberrry Passion Fruit Sour, 4.3%
This vibrant kettle sour crackles with fruity flavor and a purplish pink pour that grabs your eye before the first sip. Tart blackberry takes the lead with a juicy punch, while tropical passion fruit brings a bright, refreshing finish and lingers softly in the aroma. Light-bodied and wildly refreshing, Deep Oberservations is a fruit-forward shock to the senses—zingy, zesty, and endlessly crushable.

Irrational Lift - Oud Bruin, 6.5%
Even though it sounds fancy, it’s just a slightly sour Belgian brown ale.  Super-mild sourness with popping notes of cherries, dates, and figs.  A touch of caramel sweetness complements the slight tartness. Barrel-aged 12 months.

Are dogs welcome?
Yes, well-behaved dogs are welcome inside the tasting room and at our outdoor seating during regular hours. However, no dogs are allowed to sit at the bar for safety reasons. We prohibit dogs during festivals and other large events, which happen 2 to 3 times per year.

Can I get your beer anywhere in Delaware?
Nope. Just the Autumn Arch taproom.

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
