“UNREADABLE” IS HERE FOR THEE AND THINE! Session IPA w/Marigolds

Perched atop this glorious and unforgiving throne of hops and malt, rooted deep within the realm of astrological spirits, a vessel takes hold and pushes through the fauna to produce a beautiful pistil within the vast fields of bountiful fruit that we call our mind’s eye. Only within the undeniable boundaries of the collective unconsciousness does the intersection of individual personality and creativity lie, hurling itself forward through the sands of time, splitting the lines between pain and joy while thriving within the beautiful multiverse of splendor. Overflowing mugs of grog line the bartop, laden with longing and laced with vivid memories of both the past and future. Drowned out by the pain of long relationships and memories forged amidst the fiery depths of an unforgiving industry, but brimming with new life within the unquantifiable and ever-evolving landscape of beauty that we call life.

Mashed with @riverbendmalt 2-Row and a heap of Spelt. Hopped with Mandarina Bavaria and Citra on the hot side, along with a truly splendiferous amount of Marigold flowers. Fermented with our House IPA yeast and spunded for dat natty carb. Dry hopped once with Citra, and then once more with an aggressive smattering of Hallertau Blanc and even more Citra and Mandarina Bavaria.

The following is the tasting notes…
Dancing across the palate with oral veracity and odiferous splendor, it divides the path before it with grace and beauty while deftly heaving forward with a momentum all its own, yet somehow still drawn from the makers and liquid amplification of dreams that have come before it. Bristling and brimming with notes of Marigolds Tea on a hot Summer day just off the cliffs of Mordor before the long and treacherous, yet noble and steadfast, trek to save the world and sacrifice your precious. Perhaps shedding the aura of juicy tendency to allow just a peek into unending and overflowing bowls of fruit cups and Orange Skittles, matched in weight and volume by burdensome pinwheels of Citrus and dried Grape skins, and the love of a thousand hearts beating all at once in synchronicity.

Sometimes you make mistakes, but sometimes those mistakes are just happy little accidents. AND THUS “OOPS! ALL REAPERS” WAS BORN!

Basically, I messed up inventory and had enough hops to do half a batch of “Reapers and Creepers”, and half a batch of “Uppercuts and Lasertag”, so I decided to just smash the two together. And it’s fuckin’ awesome. For real, for real.

Blah blah blah (insert boring malt/yeast stuff here, but we obv did use @riverbendmalt). Hopped with a dizzying blend of Ella, Enigma, Citra, Vic Secret, Columbus, and some very new and ultra-sexy Nelson Sauvin CGX (turns out “cryo” is a trademark!) pelletized hops from the ONE AND ONLY @crosbyhops. It’s a lot, and it RIPS…or…REAPS…? It’s bussin’. Am I using that right?

We experience notes of cute lil’ Orange gummy wedges, Mango fruit leather, Grape Hi-Chew candies, Pineapple and Pear Ambrosia, dank dank dank, and the color purple. Probably a marijuana reference, too. All jokes aside, we haven’t been this surprised by an IPA in a while, and we genuinely hope you dig it. Also, please tell @death_shakes this new label is rad so we can make it again. K thx.

OUR FESTBIER IS READY FOR THE SWAMP!

“Hey Hey Yah Yah” is our annual Festbier. Brewed just in time for SHREKTOBERFEST! Mashed with a 100% @riverbendmalt grist, composed of an overly complex blend of Chesapeake Pilsner, Light Munich, Vienna, and Chit Malt, hopped aggressively with Hallertauer Mittelfruh, fermented low and slow with our House Lager yeast, spunded for natural carbonation, and laid down to Lager in our Horizontal Tanks for many-a-moon.

We experience soft and savory pretzels, the underside of a freshly toasted biscuit that was left to sit for JUST too long on the pan, that first crisp nip of Fall in the air, and a gentle and restrained Noble hop kiss. Malty, light, and oh-so-crushable. This beer will pair perfectly with @stormrhumbar’s swamp-to-table themed food pop-up at SHREKTOBERFEST (vegetarian options available)
“SHREKTOBERFEST, WHAT THE HECK?!?”... Glad you asked. We’ve combined our love for seasonal beer with beloved animated beefcake, Shrek, and rolled it into a day of festivities, food, and games. JOIN US Friday September 30th at 3pm and enjoy our featured activities!

IT’S A SPOOKY HOUSE FILLED WITH GHOSTS! AGAIN!

“Murder House” is returning! Our collab IPA with the homies @xulbeer turned out so well, we had to bring it back. Plus, we wanted to celebrate their festival @killthelightsbeerfest in October, so get ready to see some of this in TN!

We took a mixed approach to this beer and blended bits from both of our IPA approaches to explore some new-to-us hops, and it turned into what we feel is a really stellar release. Honestly, this is very good.

Mashed with @riverbendmalt Pilsner and a complex bevvy of Oat and Wheat malts. Hit very hard in the Whirlpool with Citra, then fermented with our House IPA yeast before being dry-hopped with Talus and HBC-536. It was then spunded for dat natty carb before being dry-hopped a second time with MORE Talus and HBC-536, along with Citra Lupomax for good measure.

We experience bright and fresh Mango Papaya juice, candied Grapefruit skins dipped in live resin, a bit of sticky tree sap, a handful of sweet and tropical candies, and a whisper of spoOoOoOky ghosts! Super fruity with a fun dankness that doesn’t linger. Hell yeah, these spirits ain’t gon’ get me with this sudsy juice! No way!

Releasing in cans and on draft in the taproom next Weds 9/28. Available now for preorder in the webshop!

We used to do a lot of Tiki-inspired beers, and we have recently felt the need to bring that back. “Alien to Pain” is our Painkiller-inspired Tiki-Style Kettle Sour Ale, and it’s comin’ for ya!

Starting off with a base of @riverbendmalt 2-Row, and a heavy dose of Oats and Wheat. Soured overnight in our Kettle, fermented with our House IPA yeast, and then conditioned on just a whole lot of Pineapple, tasteful amounts of Blood Orange and Tangerine, a dash of sweet sweet Coconut, and a light dusting of freshly ground Nutmeg. It is v good, y’all.

Crack open a can and transport yourself to a dimly lit Tiki bar, or our taproom where we usually have Painkiller Slushees, or maybe just back to like 3 weeks ago when Summer was still here. Honestly, do whatever you want with the cans. It’s your life, you should live it how you want!

Releasing in cans and on draft in the taproom next Weds 9/21. Available now for preorder in the webshop!
