Updated October 2026
Hill Street Cafe does not currently offer a confirmed happy hour. The bar features full food and drink menus with prices across 72 verified items, available in full detail below.
Draft Beer List
Pumking
Pumpkin. 8.6% ABV, 33 IBU. Southern Tier Brewing Company. Lakewood, NY. Pumpkin puree and pie spices, malty, bready; cinnamon dominates with nutmeg and vanilla in the background.
$7.50/$27.00
Edward
Pale Ale - American. 5.2% ABV, 65 IBU. Hill Farmstead Brewery. Greensboro, VT. Edward (1917-2002) is our grandfather; Hill Farmstead Brewery rests upon the land that was once home to him and his five children. In his honor, this American Pale Ale is dutifully crafted from American malted barley, a plethora of American hops, our ale yeast and water from Edward’s well. It is unfiltered and dry hopped. Aromatic and flowery, with impressions of citrus and pine, this is the ale that I dream to have shared with Edward. Pale and Caramel malt; Centennial, Chinook, Columbus, Simcoe, and Warrior hops; House Ale Yeast, and our Well Water.
$9.50/$36.00
Copper Legend
Märzen. 5.7% ABV, 22 IBU. Jack's Abby. Framingham, MA. Ancient timelines talk of dark days, plagued by hardships and Kingdom demands. When hope was all but lost, a legend emerged. A plumber. With copper pipes and an uncanny wit, he battled fierce foes and saw to the brewery’s opening. Our Octoberfest is malty, smooth and exceedingly drinkable. It is perfect to celebrate and honor today’s legends. We use locally grown wheat from MA, Munich malt and noble hops.
$6.00/$21.00
Vienna
Lager - Vienna. 5.2% ABV, 33 IBU. von Trapp Brewing. Stowe, VT. Named for the city where the signature style was born, this Austrian-style amber lager has malt notes of bread crust, toffee, and toast combined with a grassy and floral hop bouquet making for a balanced and full-flavored drinking experience.
$6.50/$23.00
Maduro Brown Ale
Brown Ale - English. 5.5% ABV, 25 IBU. Cigar City Brewing®. Tampa, NY. Maduro is a Northern English-style brown ale with some American affectations. Maduro is higher in alcohol than the common English brown ale and features flaked oats in the malt bill which imparts a silky body and works to mesh the roasted, toasted and chocolate components together in Maduro’s complex malt profile. The end result is a remarkably full-flavored yet approachable and sessionable brown ale that pairs well with mild to medium cigars.
$7.00/$25.00
Juice Bomb
IPA - American. 6.5% ABV. Sloop Brewing. Hopewell Junction, NY. An explosively unfiltered IPA, golden in color. Bursting with citrus flavor that balances with a touch of bitterness on the finish.
$7.00/$25.00
Green City
IPA - American. 7% ABV. Other Half Brewing Co. Brooklyn, NY. Oat IPA with Citra, Centennial, and Simcoe.
$8.00/$29.00
Original Blend
Cider - Traditional. 5.1% ABV. Downeast Cider House. Boston, MA. The original unfiltered. A hard cider that tastes like apple cider. Smooth and refreshing, perfectly balanced. Like the cider your grew up drinking.
$7.00/$25.00
Samuel Adams OctoberFest
Märzen. 5.3% ABV, 16 IBU. Boston Beer Company. Boston, MA. In 1810, the Oktoberfest tradition was born when Munich celebrated the Crown Prince’s wedding with a special beer and 16 day party. Our version of this classic style blends rich malts for a hearty, smooth flavor with notes of caramel creating a brew that’s perfect for the season, or whatever you’re celebrating.
$6.00/$21.00
Modelo Especial
Lager - Mexican. 4.5% ABV, 18 IBU. Grupo Modelo. Ciudad de México, Ciudad de México. Modelo Especial Mexican Beer is a full-flavored pilsner beer with a crisp taste. An orange blossom honey aroma and light hop character make this imported beer perfect for tailgating.
$6.00/$21.00
Allagash White
Wheat Beer - Witbier. 5.2% ABV, 13 IBU. Allagash Brewing Company. Portland, ME. Allagash White features a refreshing balance of citrus and spice. Wheat, coriander, and Curaçao orange peel round out the flavor of this pale straw-colored, hazy beer.
$7.00/$25.00
Belgian White
Wheat Beer - Witbier. 5.4% ABV, 9 IBU. Blue Moon Brewing Company. Denver, CO. Blue Moon Belgian White, Belgian-style wheat ale, is a refreshing, medium-bodied, unfiltered Belgian-style wheat ale spiced with fresh coriander and orange peel for a uniquely complex taste and an uncommonly smooth finish.
$6.00/$21.00
Bairisch / Bavarian Pils
Pilsner - German. 5.3% ABV, 32 IBU. Ayinger Privatbrauerei. Aying, Bayern. The Bavarian brewers have been masters in their trade for centuries and therefore also brew excellent pils beers. Indeed it was a Bavarian master brewer that brewed the first beer according to the pilsner method in the town of Pilsen! The glimmering, light-yellow Ayinger Bairisch Pils has the fragrance of aromatic hops from the “Hallertau” region of Bavaria (only these are used in the Ayinger beer specialties!). The beer is highly fermented and therefore smooth on the initial taste sensation, but also mild and sparkling in body. Our pils is accentuated by the floweriness of the hops aroma and has a more pronounced bitterness on swallowing, which quickly fades from the taste buds.
$7.00/$25.00
Fiddlehead IPA
IPA - American. 6.2% ABV, 53 IBU. Fiddlehead Brewing Company. Shelburne, VT. Our flagship IPA, A hop forward American IPA with mellow bitterness. Citrusy and Dank. Well Balanced.
$7.00/$25.00
Guinness Draught (Nitro)
Stout - Irish Dry. 4.2% ABV, 45 IBU. Guinness. Dublin, County Dublin. Swirling clouds tumble as the storm begins to calm. Settle. Breathe in the moment, then break through the smooth, light head to the bittersweet reward. Unmistakeably GUINNESS, from the first velvet sip to the last, lingering drop. And every deep-dark satisfying mouthful in between. Pure beauty. Pure GUINNESS. Guinness Draught is sold in kegs, widget cans, and bottles. The ABV varies from 4.1 to 4.3%. Guinness Extra Cold is the exact same beer only served through a super cooler at 3.5 °C.
$7.00/$25.00
IPA
IPA - American. 6.2% ABV, 51 IBU. Lagunitas Brewing Company. Petaluma, CA. A well-rounded, Highly drinkable India Pale Ale. A bit of Caramel Malt barley provides the richness that mellows out the twang of the hops, including Cascade, Centennial, Chinook and a splash of honorary “C” hop, Simcoe.
$6.00/$21.00
Labatt Blue
Pilsner - American. 4.7% ABV, 12 IBU. Labatt Brewing Company. Toronto, ON. Labatt Blue is the best-selling Canadian beer in the world. Introduced in 1951 as Labatt Pilsener, it was named for the colour of its label by fans of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers football team. Blue was the first brand in Canada with a twist-off cap and won the silver medal in the International Lager category at the 1998 Brewing Industry International Awards. Labatt Blue, brewed using specially selected aromatic hops, is a well-balanced, fully matured, full-flavoured beer with a fruity character and a slightly sweet aftertaste.
$5.00/$18.00
Coors Light
Lager - American Light. 4.2% ABV, 10 IBU. Coors Brewing Company. Golden, CO. Coors Light is Coors Brewing Company's largest-selling brand and the fourth best-selling beer in the U.S. Introduced in 1978, Coors Light has been a favorite in delivering the ultimate in cold refreshment for more than 25 years. The simple, silver-toned can caught people's attention and the brew became nicknamed the "Silver Bullet" as sales climbed.
$5.00/$18.00
Miller Lite
Lager - American Light. 4.2% ABV, 10 IBU. Miller Brewing Company. Milwaukee, WI. Our flagship brand, Miller Lite, is the great tasting, less filling beer that defined the American light beer category in 1975. We deliver a clear, simple message to consumers: "Miller Lite is the better beer choice." What's our proof? 1) Miller Lite is the original light beer 2) Miller Lite has real beer taste because it's never watered down 3) Miller Lite is the only beer to win four gold awards in the World Beer Cup for best American-style light lager. (2006).
$5.00/$18.00
Bottles & Cans
Corona Extra
Lager - Mexican. 4.5% ABV, 18 IBU. Grupo Modelo. Ciudad de México, Ciudad de México. Corona Extra Mexican Beer is a crisp, clean and well balanced cerveza with fruity-honey aromas and a touch of malt, making it a great tailgating beer, beach drink or barbecue refreshment.
$6.00
Heineken
Lager - Pale. 5% ABV, 19 IBU. Heineken. Zoeterwoude, Zuid-Holland. Heineken is a bright golden-yellow lager beer. Brewed at 5% ABV with 100% natural ingredients only: malted barley, water, hops, and a small but significant extra, called A-Yeast. Pure malt and Heineken’s unique A-Yeast are responsible for the rich balanced taste and subtle fruity notes that have distinguished every single Heineken since1873. When the Heineken star brewers perfected their craft, they learned that fermenting our beer in horizontal tanks, instead of the industry-standard vertical, creates the perfect pressure for our A-Yeast.
$6.00
Stella Artois
Lager - Pale. 5% ABV, 24 IBU. Stella Artois. Leuven, Vlaams Gewest. Stella Artois was first brewed as a Christmas beer in Leuven. It was named Stella from the star of Christmas, and Artois after Sebastian Artois, founder of the brewery. It is brewed to perfection using the original Stella Artois yeast and the celebrated Saaz hops. It is the optimum premium lager, with its full flavour and clean crisp taste.
$6.00
Michelob ULTRA
Lager - American Light. 4.2% ABV, 10 IBU. Anheuser-Busch. St. Louis, MO. A superior light beer. Brewed using the finest barley malt, select grains, all-imported hops and a pure-cultured yeast strain. The special choice of grains combined with the extended mashing process produces a smooth, refreshing beer with fewer carbohydrates.
