Our second collaboration with Los Angeles’ Monkish Brewing Company. Apocolocynposis was aged in oak for a total of seven months. Blackberry Puree and Limes were added in the last two months of aging, giving this ale flavors of blackberry, blueberry, and vanilla, that slowly fade with a tart lime touch.

You will be assimilated.

Driving around the country in a Winnebago with a sleeve of coasters, and a growler machine, one sees a lot of weird things.

Weird things of the kind that initially prompted this utilitarian uniting of super wonder twin powers.

Need a strainer gasket? Larger diameter drain tube on that kettle? A better spray nozzle for that hose, or input on how to rid your life of that messy, dangerous, diverter panel?

We are here for you. You will be assimilated.

V.3.0 Galactic Pumpkin

Cheers & Mahalo plenty!

(On tap @ MBCC 2017 Yellow Session, Copenhagen) A rather dark red pour with a small pale pink head. Notes of tart to sour red berries, blackberry per se not obvious, some zippy lemon-lime citric acidity and zest, wet JP funky overtones, a bit floral, yeasty. Light to moderate fruit sweetness, somewhat sour, with a fairly dry and slightly mineral finish. Lightish body, fairly soft carb, crisp and refreshing. A bit of a palate cleanser, the adjuncts are rather softly expressed and it's a little thin but goes down very easily.
