Ridgefield, CT
5% Trappist-inspired Single Ale. This graceful little beer displays an expressive blend of herbal & fruity aromatics, crisp malt character, and a dry, estery finish. A rare style not usually seen outside Belgium (and a staff favorite here), this is our take on the table beers made in Trappist monasteries for the monks' own everyday enjoyment.
5% German-style Pils. Our take on the classic style. An elegant lagerbier brewed with Heirloom Pilsner malt & hand-selected Noble hops. Cold-conditioned for brilliant clarity and krausened for proper presentation. Crisp & crackery malt, floral hops, bright & clean finish. Refreshing & suited to drink in quantity.
4.1% Dry Irish Stout [Nitro]. Smooth, chocolatey, and roast-forward, this traditionally minded Irish stout is best enjoyed as if you were tucked into a cozy pub in the Irish countryside.
7% West Coast-style IPA dry-hopped with Simcoe, Centennial & Columbus. Fresh pine, orange pith, malt, citrus-forward bitterness.
LIMIT (4) 4PKS PER ORDER. Non-alcoholic seltzer made entirely from maple, hickory, walnut, and oak sap from Ridgefield trees, pasteurized & carbonated with nothing added but C02.

6.5% New England IPA dry-hopped with Citra & Mosaic. Soft & fluffy with notes of tropical fruit, sweet citrus, and bready malt.
5% Hop-forward Pilsner. Dry-hopped with a blend of Noble hops. Crisp, floral, refreshing & lightly herbal. Lagered for 8+ weeks for brilliant clarity & clean flavors without filtration or fining. Originally brewed in collaboration with Walrus Ale + Lager.
6.2% New England IPA. Our new brewing team created an IPA featuring Pink, an experimental hop from Jackson Farm in Wilder, Idaho. This round, fluffy IPA offers aromas of sweet grapefruit and peach skin. Thoughtful, layered hop schedule leaves the beer evolving through each sip with tropical tones and balanced bitterness. An impactful new approach to IPA at Nod Hill that leans fuller and more contemporary by its design.
Collab w/NEBCO. 5.8% New English Pale Ale. A beer that threads the needle between the traditional and modern (and so we coined a new name for the style). This “New English” Pale Ale is structured with British heirloom malts and East Kent Golding hops, layered and nuanced with a modern American yeast profile. We dry hopped Proper Chap with Idaho-grown Amarillo and Centennial, as well as a touch of Cascade Cryo. With conventional English flavors up front, and notes of a modern American Pale Ale in the finish, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
7.1% Trappist-inspired Dubbel. Dark fruit aromatics, spicy yeast esters, dry finish, and lively carbonation.
5.6% West Coast-style Pale Ale. Catch a little luck in every pour…Rabbit’s Foot is a crisp, clear and hoppy pale ale with a west coast twist. Layered with Mosaic and multiple forms of Simcoe - from oils and extracts to traditional pellets - Rabbit's Foot is a punchy yet balanced beer bursting with pine, citrus, and tropical fruit.
7% New England IPA. Secret Door peeks into a classic Mosaic and Amarillo hop combo, with a few new friends tagging along. Fresh-cut pineapple and grassy aromatics lead the way, chased by grapefruit, lemon, and lime oils running all the way down. Hints of strawberry and dragonfruit flesh keep things weird in the best way. Medium-bodied, soft, and slick. Grab some eye drops and a bag of snacks—this one’s a doozy.
5.9% Extra Special Bitter. A hearty pub-style ale with notes of fresh biscuit, marmalade, and earthy herbal hops. Brewed with Marris Otter Malt, East Kent Goldings Hops, and our house ale yeast.
6% Oak-aged Peach Beer. A blend of various wine barrel-aged beers aged on peaches harvested in 2022 by our friends at Woodland Farm in Glastonbury, CT. Featherbed is a series of small-batch beers featuring the interplay of whole, ripe local fruit, mixed culture fermentation, and oak barrel-aging.
8.5% Trappist-inspired Tripel. We place emphasis on a wide range of yeast-driven aromatics in this strong golden ale. Through many trials we arrived at a point where strong citrus & spicy phenol flavors dance on a bed of soft honey-like malt & gentle herbal hop character. In the Tarot, the Knight of Pentacles represents the determination, diligence & effort necessary to turn a dream into reality. Our brewers have worked hard to present you with a beer that was once only a dream. Enjoy mindfully & in good health!
7.1% Trappist-inspired Dubbel Ale. Dark fruit aromatics, spicy yeast esters, dry finish, lively carbonation & proper presentation vis a vis bottle-conditioning. Brewed with Belgian Candi syrup, Pilsner Malt, Trappist-origin yeast & water from our well.
7.1% Oak-aged Dubbel. A mixed-culture conditioned and wine barrel-aged version of our Trappist-Inspired Dubble Ale, Queen of Cups.
6% Oak-aged Wild Ale. This beer was brewed in Jan ’23, then rested overnight in our coolship located outside the brewery on the banks of the Norwalk River. As the wort cooled, it was naturally inoculated with airborne microbes distinct to our riverside locale. The next morning, we transferred this roiling liquid to oak wine barrels, allowing it to ferment, condition & rest until the following winter. Checking in from time to time, we found one of these barrels to be particularly expressive & complex, and bottled it as it was with no blending. Riversong then rested in bottles for a further two years, letting its intriguing flavors coalesce and lively carbonation develop. The result is pleasantly barnyard-y, full of lemony tart sour candy notes, and complex but highly refreshing.
