Walking by so popped in and got to try their 8th Anniversary release which is a Jasmine Rice Lager Aged on Oak!
Yeah Buddy! 5% 16 IBU
Pale gold with dense white foam and a floral bouquet. Soft light body with the lager up front before the oak wallops you in the finish. Easy drinking with loads of character.

KBL Pernicious Weeb
NZ Double IPA 8% 63 IBU
Apparently, this is their take on Garage Project’s Permicious Weed. I thought the Japanese name (Otaku Atakku) was funny.
A matte orange-gold with thick off-white foam and a rich piney hop bouquet. Full bodied and smooth. The taste is bright woodsy pine and juicy tropical prickly pear notes.
Dead easy to drink, almost dangerously so.
Great stuff.
