A singleminded devotion Yes, it’s true that in recent weeks our “currently on tap” whiteboard has been a little sparse. I mean, we’ve always had Frank, The Whale, The IPA, De Maas and Stout Affective Disorder, but craft beer aficionados are novelty junkies. You’re in luck! Starting today we have Singularity (Apollo) available for growler fills!…
No brewery is an island. Now that we’ve been open for two years we’ve needed some help, and a few stalwart friends have stepped up to the challenge. These are their stories. This week: Drew Hardin, Assistant Brewer. Hi. Hi! My name is Andrew…

After having serenaded you with tales of everywhere we’d be, it turns out we had a surprise: Seasonal Creep (Saison) is now on tap. Yes, much like the Singularity series, there is a modifier…
