Counterculture NEIPA

As people who grew up drinking the traditional American IPAs of the west coast, our taste buds were delighted to discover the New England style IPA in 2013. A friend who had recently traveled to Vermont brought back a well known IPA from the area. It was unlike any hoppy beer we had ever had. In fact, we were so inspired we visited the New England area a year later to take a deep dive into the IPA revolution that...

Rockhill & Locust English Mild, 2022 GABF Gold Medal Winner

The English Mild plays an important role in the evolution of the ales we enjoy in America today. It once dominated the pub scene in England (and still does in some pockets) where it is known as a full-flavor, sessionable beer that is just as easily enjoyed over conversation as it is contemplation. For us, The English Mild also plays a large role in the evolution of the ales we drink and brew at BKS Artisan Ales and Rockhill &...

BKS Update – March 2021

Spring has sprung and we are in the final stretch of our expansion process. Our new canning line has arrived but the new fermenters and other equipment are still making their way here. Unfortunately there’s been some supply chain delays, so it is taking the new tanks a little longer than expected to get to their new home. At the end of the day, this means we won't be producing/selling more beer until mid-May. It’s a bummer since we thought we’d be putting these...

BKS September 2020 Update

To say 2020 has been a crazy year is an understatement. We truly appreciate your support and patience as we navigate in this new world. We are all trying to do the right things, but sometimes it is hard to know what that is.   As we have mentioned in previous communications, we have decided to keep our tasting room and patio closed for the time being. This will most likely be the case for the remainder of 2020 and maybe into early 2021....

Tasting Room Status – June 2020

Many of you have asked about our tasting room reopening plans. It would be absolutely awesome to have you all back inside, and we look forward to the day we can do that! With the 6ft of distance guidance between tables and the layout of our small tasting room, we would only be able to allow a handful of people inside and on our patio. The cost to operate with limited capacity doesn't financially add up for us to be...
