August 21 is a very important day in beer history. Not because of this release (though time will tell) but because it is the birthday of Josef Groll, the man who invented pilsner. It may not be a pilsner but we’re pleased to be releasing a beer that is brewed with some Czech hops today… Thank you for your influence!

Beer 1: Awkward Hug is one of our longest running IPAs, at 6% abv it is brewed with oats, wheat and hopped with Citra and Azacca for a fruit forward nose and finish.

Beer 2: False Imperative is newer to the family, and this third batch is distinctly delicious. A lighter noble hop pale ale, brewed with oats and hopped with Loral and Czech Saaz for a delectable floral and old school hop tone.

Full hours and list of available pours, cans and bottles are listed on our tasting room page.
