Beer of the Month - December - Twin Lakes -Route 52 Pilsner


















BREWED WITH PASSION This light golden Pilsner lets the natural taste of our pure, deep rock well water shine through and highlights the plentiful whole flower Spalt hops. Route 52 is no weak, timid American lager. In combination with the traditional European Pils Malt and Bohemian lager yeast, we have created a clean, crisp and very flavorful beer.

Route 52 derives its name from the National Scenic Byway that passes by Twin Lakes Farm. Our community is rich in history, art and beauty, and our location and historic setting inspire us to craft a beer that reflects our heritage. From our traditional American style pilsner recipe to the painstaking effort we put into hand crafting this delicious beer, our Route 52 is proof positive that Twin Lakes Brewery is “Preserving the Art of Brewing.” both our local roots in Greenville, Delaware and our interest in “green” technology for the future.

Beer of the Month - December - Twin Lakes -Tweeds Tavern Stout


















Named after the historic Tweeds Tavern, one of the earliest breweries in Delaware, Tweeds Tavern Stout is an American stout fashioned in the Pacific Northwest style. It features a complex blend of the freshest American ingredients including black roasted barley, black malt, rolled oats, red wheat with Cascade and Galena hops. Our stout is mellow and mild with pleasant, roasted coffee and chocolate elegance and smoothly balanced body. It produces a thick, rich, foamy, mocha head that clings to the glass. People who say they don’t like dark beers are surprised once they taste our stout and experience for themselves how delicious and drinkable it is.

You’ll find the original, restored Tweeds Tavern in nearby Tweeds Park in Hockessin, Delaware. The tavern was a favorite meeting place for early American farmers and merchants driving Conestoga wagons to market. The stout was brewed on the premises for the enjoyment of its many parched patrons. Twin Lakes is proud to continue the tradition by brewing this historical American stout.
