What’s on tap at the Little Pub
By Ben Fields ’15
April 24, 2015
Few places on this campus offer the opportunity to relax quite like The Little Pub. Whether it’s a Tuesday night and you’re feeling the desire to sit down and try your hand at trivia or you want to get to know a professor better over a beer at Happy Hour on a Friday, the Pub is the place to be. With roughly fourteen beers on tap, depending on the night, and many more bottled, few places near campus can match the line up Chad Marshall has put together. Ask Ben, Deanna, Jo, Lindsay, Corey or Chad for a taste.
So, grab a pint and some popcorn and enjoy yourself at the Pub.
Beak and Skiff Founders’ Reserve Hopped Cider, LaFayette, NY
A different take on the classic hard cider that has been a stable at The Pub for so long, this cider is sure to become a new favorite. Beak and Skiff, known for their popular Raspberry Cider at The Pub, takes their already great cider and adds hops. The traditional ingredient giving beer its signature bitter flavor, hops balance out the sweetness of the apples to create a light and delicious cider. Although not quite as sweet as the Woodchuck cider that you might be used to, this cider has a more robust flavor.

ABV 6.9%, $4
Good Nature Blonde Ale, Hamilton, NY
Good Nature’s flagship beer is a pretty standard American blonde ale. This is a good beer for those used to classic college drinks like Keystone or Utica Club. While it doesn’t have a particularly bold flavor, the beer still brings a few different tastes to your glass. A very light beer with a crisp finish, it’s a great choice to enjoy on a sunny day.

Brewery Ommegang Three Eyed Raven, Cooperstown, NY
Although not available quite yet at the Pub, stay tuned for when we add this excellent new beer to our menu. Following their wildly successful Game of Thrones beers, Ommegang’s latest is sure to surprise and impress. Three Eyed Raven is a different take on a Belgian Saison (such as Ommegang Hennepin). With a dark color and tan head, this beer has a variety of different flavors. Although it has only been relased this month, already this beer has an 87 ranking on BeerAdvocate, and looks to be the next hit from an always impressive brewery. Keep an eye out for when we add this to our line-up, it won’t be around for too long.
