Gentleman Scoundrels of Craft Brewing
Safe Re-opening May 11, 2020
According to the most recent Alabama Governor's COVID-19 guidance on May 8th, we are preparing to return to somewhat normal operations of craft beer services. We have some precautionary restrictions on patron spacing and occupancy that we ask everyone's patience and cooperation so we may serve quality beer in a safe environment for our guests and employees. Thank you all for your continued support to locally owned businesses during this crisis!
International styles of handcrafted beer
A new neighborhood micro-brewery with an old fashioned spirit. Enjoy a craft beer in our post-prohibition era operating brew house and cozy taproom environment. We invite you to travel back to a simpler time to connect with your friends, meet new people, celebrate accomplishments with low level background music to facilitate conversations. “The Neon Lily” restaurant menu is full of savory dishes, offering unique ethnic meals that pair wonderfully with our craft beer.

Beers on Tap
Quality Craft Beer
American Pale Ale
5/6/8
Characterized by floral, fruity, citrus-like, piney, resinous American hops, the American pale ale is a medium-bodied beer with lovely caramel colour, and carries with it a toasted maltiness.
Irish Red Ale
5/6/8
Smooth tasting, fuller-bodied beer, amber to reddish copper in color that is clean and clear with slightly sweet caramel malt flavor.
Citra India Pale Ale
5/6/8
Hoppier version of pale ale, originally brewed in England with extra hops to survive the trip to troops in India. Classic Northwest hop flavors like citrus, pine, florals, and a strong, unapologetic bitterness. Ours is bit more balanced, with stronger malt component matching the stronger hops for those IPA lovers out there!
Belgian White
5/6/8
Belgian Witbier. This elegant, 400 year old style of unfiltered ale is pale and cloudy in appearance due to the high level of wheat and oats used in the mash. Spiced with coriander & bitter orange peel.
Robust Porter
5/6/8
A crowd favourite is back... a dark, almost black, fruity-dry, top fermenting style with wonderful coffee and chocolate notes.
Vanilla Cream
5/6/8
The very popular Vanilla Cream. At a 5.6% ABV, this beer is smooth and when combined with our Robust Porter, creates a unique and delicious craft cocktail.
Strong Scotch Ale
7
...like a tartan blanket wrapping your soul on a cold wintery day.
Czech Pilsner
5/6/8
A distinctive hoppy start with sudden mellowing to crisp finish...true character for this fine Pilsner from a former Eastern Bloc republic.
Kristallweizen
5/6/8
Another classic Bavarian summer wheat beer...lighter than the Hefe...clearer and crisp with hint of banana and clove on the nose.
Blood Orange IPA
5/6/8
A uniquely flavoured IPA for a refreshing twist on an IPA classic...great for summer drinking!
Dortmunder Helles
5/6/8
The German Dortmunder, is a pale, well-balanced, smooth German lager that is slightly stronger than the average beer with a moderate body and a mild, aromatic hop and malt character.
Orange Cream
7/8/10
Our new Orange Cream is a premium styled Berliner Weisse with a sour blend of orange and vanilla.
"Wright Flights"
8
Select four tasty 4 oz. servings for a delicious sampling experience of our finest craft beer.
Seasonals
Strong ales, Wheats, Sours, Meads & Ciders...brewed on a whim, impulse or inclination.
