Description
Twin Elephant Brewing Company's vision is to offer an extremely fresh variety of high quality, handcrafted ales and lagers brewed mindfully with locally sourced ingredients when available. Our portfolio of beers are not restricted in style or flavor but will have a decided focus on all the classic styles that we have enjoyed drinking for a decade and a half. Our vision is for our patrons to enjoy these unique local beers in a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere that augments their tasting experience and to share their thoughts with each other as well as us so we can continually improve.
Twin Elephant Brewing Company is founded by three partners with the dream of turning their passion for brewing craft beers into an exciting shared adventure with the local community. Scott McLuskey & Tim Besecker have been homebrewing together for over 10 years starting, like most folks do, in the garage and for the last 5 years Cindy DeRama has joined the crew with a proclivity for recipe formulation using unique ingredients. Throughout the years we have honed our craft, learning and practicing the artistry and science of brewing. All three of us have entrepreneurial experience through both education and acting as key cogs in several small businesses throughout the years.

16 ounce can from Libby’s Liquors. Number one with a bullet. Hazy yellow gold pour. Large pillowy white head. Floral hop aromas lean toward passion fruit, tangerine and melon. Flavor is more of the same. Sweet tangerine, white grape, lemon, lime and crushed pineapple abound. Some resiny pine on backend. Quite tasty.

473ml can [Nelson Sauvin, Motueka, Hallertau Blanc]. Minimally milky, yellow-ish, colden colour with average, frothy, osteoporosing, minimally lacing, snow white head. Slightly herbal-grassy, minimally fruity hoppy and minimally grainy, malty aroma, a touch of gooseberry, white grapes, kiwi fruit, green pear, minimally yeasty spicy overtones with a touch of mustard seed. Taste is moderately bitter, grassy and slightly vinous, fruity hoppy, minimally grainy and spicy, pale malty basis, hints of white grapes, gooseberry, kiwi fruit, a touch of green pear, chlorophyll.
Oily-watery texture, dry palate, medium, slightly scattered, prickly carbonation.
Slightly cautious nose, fairly dry and nicely fruity hoppy taste - pretty decent.
