New season means new menu here at Open Outcry!! Our winter menu is comforting, delicious, scratch made and designed to pair perfectly with one of Jake's cold brews. Lots of old favorites are back slightly refined and better than ever, beloved staples stuck around and some fresh new things make an appearance.

One thing is for sure, there's something for everyone and everything is made in house.

New beer on tap!

A new offering and fun brew day here at The Cry. Brewed with our good friend and one of our best customers, Eddie Marx, Crown Investments, is an easy drinking E.S.B.

A semi traditional English Bitter with notes of dark, crusty bread, caramelized figs and English toffee laying base to a hop profile of Lemon Zest, Rose Hips and woody undertones.

Ed came in to help with this brew from start to finish. A pint was had, a pint was made and now, finally a pint is had again.

Stout season at OOB

As the weather turns colder and nights grow longer, it is the perfect time of year to savor the rich, complex flavors of an imperial stout! Our Vanta Bath is rich and complex and totally delicious!

Lunch at OOB

We asked you what would get you in for lunch more and you told us. And now we have delivered. We have a new lunch menu with new wraps, a homemade soup of the week and all your usual favorites! Stop in for a quick and delicious lunch today!

Brunch like you mean it

2026 is the year to brunch better than ever before, every Sunday. Simple, short & sweet and all made from scratch, that's how we've always done it and how we'll continue.

Stop in for some Greek yogurt, homemade granola and homemade jam (this week we've got blueberry/sour cherry and it is out of this world), or a comfort food classic strudel baked French toast with house cranberry apple compote or a light and fresh avocado ricotta toast, with a fresh new winter menu dropping soon.

Make our brewery a brunch staple for you and your fam and friends this new year!!

January desserts

Our desserts this month bring two totally different, but equally awesome vibes. cozy nostalgia and a bright seasonal twist to the brewery. Cozy nostalgia gets served up with our homemade Apple Oatmeal Cream Pie that tastes like your favorite childhood treat, all grown up and scratchmade and worthy of a spot on our menu.

Balancing things out is our rich Chocolate Basque Cheesecake, perfectly paired with a vibrant blood orange coulis for a pop of seasonal citrusy sunshine.

Sweet, fun, and just the thing to start the year on a delicious note!
