The editorial take
Tipsy Moose Tap & Tavern runs a beer-first program with a 30+ entry draft and package list spanning IPAs, stouts, lagers, ciders, and a mead. Three locations pour their own rotating tap lists, with 20+ drafts advertised. Named pours include Drowned Lands Grove Juice sour IPA, Frost Double Shush DIPA, Guinness Draught, Fiddlehead IPA, Paulaner Salvator Double Bock, Nine Pin Signature Blend, and B. Nektar Zombie Killer. Draft and can prices run from $5.00 to $10.00, with cash and credit dual pricing. The homepage lists craft cocktails among its house favorites; the Dirty Shirley is the one named cocktail selection.
- What should I order?
- Start with a named draft: Drowned Lands Grove Juice, Frost Double Shush DIPA, Fiddlehead IPA, or Guinness Draught. For something outside beer, Nine Pin Signature Blend or B. Nektar Zombie Killer covers cider, and Paulaner Salvator Double Bock adds a doppelbock. The Dirty Shirley is the named cocktail option.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer drinkers who want a deep draft and package list with regional breweries, plus cider and mead options, will find the most to work with. Guests looking for a named cocktail beyond the Dirty Shirley have a narrower path.
- When should I go?
- The rotating drafts span three locations, so the list is the reference point for this tavern. Cash and credit dual pricing applies, with credit-adjusted prices via QR at the tavern.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Draft and can prices range from $5.00 for Michelob Ultra Zero, 12oz, to $10.00 for several 16oz drafts including Drowned Lands Grove Juice and Frost Double Shush DIPA. Guinness Draught and Fiddlehead IPA are $7.00, Paulaner Salvator and B. Nektar Zombie Killer are $9.00, and Nine Pin Signature Blend is $7.00.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Each of the Troy, and Albany locations pours its own tap list, with separate tabs. The draft and package list carries 30+ entries across IPAs, stouts, lagers, ciders, and a mead, and the homepage promotes craft cocktails alongside 20+ beers on tap.
