Beer Updates
We’ll be releasing our first of two holiday beers this week; be on the lookout for details coming soon! Also in the tanks this month, you can expect to see a new West Coast IPA, an experimental Hazy IPA, four high-gravity Hazies, two new porters (one classic and another with notes of peanut butter), a sour (made with dragonfruit, passionfruit, and hibiscus), a new Mexican lager with lime and sea salt, and just in time for Thanksgiving, we’ll release a Dunkel (5% amber lager that pairs beautifully with a turkey dinner). Last but not least, we’ve got the following beers returning to the taproom this month: Tuxedo at a Pool Party German Pilsner, Kolsch, and Perry’s Epiphany Hefeweizen. Check our Beer page for the latest updates!
