A terminator is many things: the planetary line between light & dark, a kickass ‘80s movie, a beer that blows you away. First brewed in 1985, Terminator Stout is the result of a fondness for big, burly German beers, kiln-baked grains and a few failed batches. When Mike McMenamin and the Hillsdale crew perfected the recipe and poured a pint, they noted the line where a rich, coffee-with-cream colored head rests atop the black-as-night Stout, and though this terminator marks the line between light and dark, it is the union of the two that gives us the rich notes of chocolate, nuts and coffee. Some lines are meant to be crossed.

We're celebrating Terminator all week long with specials on pints, growlers and cans to go. Plus, food specials and a just-for-fun Passport stamp. Happy birthday, indeed.
