That other brewery posting cat pictures is ripping us off. You can’t drink fancy beer here, but you can drink fancy beer at our taproom Mousetrap.

Just in time for January, our first NA beverage!! Night of the Jaguar is a Chicha de Molle inspired NA beer. Peruvian purple corn added to the mash creates a stunning scarlet color with pink hued foam and rich cereal aromatics.

We stand with immigrants, due process, the Constitution, and the ideals behind it. No human being is illegal and the pursuit of freedom is both a natural human right and a fundamentally American belief. The actions of ICE are contrary to those beliefs & our shared moral compass.

EXCITING NEWS! Our “Work is Stupid” Irish coffee glass mugs are back in stock at the taproom and online. These glasses sold out in a couple hours when they released and we don’t expect them to last too long this time around.

Special one-off tapping at the taproom today!

We took our Scandinavian Style Imperial Stout, Scourge, and threw it in some port barrels with cocoa nibs.

Dryer and roastier than American interpretations, Scourge is brewed with Scandinavian sensibility using native yeasts.
