Friday May 4th: ‘I will not drink any f***ing Merlot’

San Francisco Style Brut IPA draft release! Inspired by the novel “Sideways” by Rex Picket, ‘I will not drink any f***ing Merlot’ is a play on a Champagne-like beer. Extremely dry with a punch of hop flavor and aroma from excessive dry hopping with low-perceived bitterness. Hallertau Blanc, Rakua, and Motueka hops shine through in this with flavors of white grapes, apricot, and citrus give this beer a bubbly personality that folks are sure to love. 6% ABV

Friday May 18th: ‘Don’t Tame the Wild’

Inspired by the poem, “Wild Strawberries” from the collection of poems titles, “A light in the attic” by Shel Silverstein. Do wild strawberries make good pets? We certainly aren’t placing any bets. We like them best blended with a touch of rhubarb zest. The classic pairing of strawberry and rhubarb bring together sweet and tart in a delightful way. Our strawberry rhubarb milkshake IPA uses Huell Melon and Belma hops to accentuate and enhance strawberry character. Copious amounts of strawberry and rhubarb puree, biscuit malt, vanilla and lactose meld together to mimic the flavors of a homemade pie. Lightly tart, balanced sweetness, smooth vanilla character and an abundance of hops make for a milkshake of a beer. Available in limited edition crowlers and on draft.
