Small Batches.

The Current Lineup

Rotating selection of ales, lagers, and seasonal specials — all brewed on-site in our 2-barrel system.

01

Summit Haze IPA

IPA · 6.8% ABV

Citrus-forward with a piney finish. Dry-hopped with Cascade and Mosaic for a bright, resinous profile that hits the spot after a long week.

Rotating 60 IBU
02

Keene Brown Ale

Brown Ale · 5.2% ABV

Our house staple. Toasty malt, subtle chocolate notes, and a smooth finish that makes it impossible to drink just one. Brewed with local Vermont brown sugar.

House Favorite 28 IBU
03

Cloud Nine Stout

Oatmeal Stout · 5.8% ABV

Velvety and dark. Coffee and dark cherry come through on the nose, with a creamy oatmeal body that lingers warmly. A winter anchor that stays on year-round.

Year-Round 35 IBU
04

Peterborough Pale

American Pale · 5.0% ABV

Crisp, approachable, and dangerously drinkable. Grapefruit and floral aromatics from Centennial hops make this the perfect warm-weather pour.

Seasonal 42 IBU

Taplist changes weekly. Call us for tonight's full pour list.

Our Story

Born in Keene.
Brewed with intention.

Black Cloud Brewing started in 2018 when two friends decided that Keene deserved a brewery that prioritized flavor over flash. No gimmicks, no food trucks circling the lot — just well-made beer in a space that feels like a living room.

We source locally whenever we can — Vermont milk sugar, New Hampshire honey, and hops from farms up the valley — and we brew in small 2-barrel batches so nothing goes out the door that we wouldn't drink ourselves.
