In New York if you say I’m going to “Nolita”, you are saying I’m going to Manhattan; meaning north of little Italy.  Nolita is one of many nicknames for Manhattan.

This unique rye beer was created by head brewer Michael Hall inspired by his favorite rye whiskey cocktail the Manhattan (rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, with a kiss of cherry juice and garnished with a cherry).

Nolita starts off with a delicately biscuit-toasted bread malty background that includes three different types of malted rye for an in depth layered rye backbone to start things off. Look for flavors of sweet vermouth from the additions of Italian plum puree added directly to the primary fermentation, and to finish things off we added sweet cherry puree to the brew at the end in the serving vessel.

We also recommend that Nolita be garnished in the beer glass with a maraschino cherry just like it’s cousin the Manhattan. Overall this beer drinks like a Manhattan cocktail smooth with a little spice and sweet in the finish.

Drink Up!
