Cask Conditioned Ales

We at Graydon's have done our best to provide as authentic an English Pub atmosphere as possible this side of "the Pond". Our Chef has created a menu that emulates traditional English fare while maintaining the American tradition of improving on the classics to suit the higher standards of present day cuisine. And even though our menu reflects classic English dishes, we've also been influenced by the days of the British colonies in India, where colonists learned to appreciate the many spices and curries that soon worked their way back to Jolly Old England and onto the supper tables. So sit back, relax, have a pint, and be prepared to experience a menu that the Brits would gladly cross the Atlantic for!

Often referred to as "real ale", cask conditioned ales are brewed from only traditional ingredients and allowed to mature naturally. The unfiltered, unpasteurized beer still contains live yeasts which continue conditioning the beer in the cask. This process creates a gentle, natural CO2 carbonation and enhances the flavors that the brewers intended. We're the only pub in the city to offer these unique ales! We tap a different cask every Thursday @ 5pm, so get here early!

July 1st
Founders IPA
Bask in the glory of the frothy head's floral bouquet. Relish the citrus accents from the abundance of dry-hopping. Malty undertones agree with the hop character for a crisp finish.

July 8th
Thirsty Dog Raspberry Stud Service Stout
The brewer has taken their Stud Service Stout, an dry Irish Stout, and cask conditioned it with 8lbs of fresh Ohio raspberries. This is an easy drinking "session" beer that has nice coffee and roasted flavors; which provide for a smooth "raspberry coffee" finish.

July 15th
New Holland's Mad Hatter IPA
Mad Hatter explodes with complex hop flavors and echoes with subtle balanced malt notes. Enormous hop aroma and it's crisp finish, makes this a very enjoyable brew.

July 22nd
Bell's Porter
A blend of premium dark malts give this beer flavors and aromas of chocolate and coffee with subtle roasted notes. An exceptional Porter from one of our favorite local breweries. Enjoy!

July 29th
Arcadia Whitsun
A wheat beer brewed with just the right amount of coriander, orange zest and Michigan honey. This unfiltered beer boasts a translucent orange color topped with a creamy, white white head. Its drinkability makes it the perfect choice for any warm weather event.
