Description
Our story begins with a Bat. Instead of seeing the Bat as a symbol we should fear, we trusted our bat to be a symbol of re-birth, intuition, dreaming and vision. Bats are nurturing and in tune to the sensitivity of others within their group.

Bats are the Guardian of the Night. Bats are the symbol of the end of a way of life and the start of another. Trust your instincts, follow your bat. In 2010, like many others in Michigan, we lost our jobs. Both of us. At the same time. We had just welcomed our first baby into the world. The job market was terrible. Money was running out.

One night, a bat flew into our living room, what we now can see as a positive omen. It was shortly after that we scraped every last penny together and took a gamble on our dreams. Being unemployed and getting an SBA loan was hard, most said it would be impossible. We fought, and we made it.

We take pride in the craft we have a passion for. Being a gathering place and giving back is a huge part of who we are and a symbol of our gratitude for the community that embraces and supports us. Everything is connected.

Luck brought us our Bat and it is our mission to spread the symbol of the Bat onto you. Thank you for indulging in our dreams, sharing our visions and most of all, for keeping us happily employed.

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a hazy gold with a finger of white foam that dissipates. White grapefruit, tangerine pith and light pineapple aromas on the nose. Dry on the palate with pithy bitterness...very drying. Quick finish as it goes down, with lingering pine, pith. A bit green, but enjoyable.

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a purple to ruby color with a small finger of pink foam that dissipates. Salty, lemonade aromas with light blueberry candy as it warms. Sweet on the palate, but some tangy lemonade flavors as well. A bit thin, but easy drinking. Lingering blueberry flavoring with lemonade. Sweet and tart with some salt. Fun but nothing special for the style.

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a clear harvest gold with a finger of white foam that dissipates instantly. Lovely cacao nib, milk chocolate and coffee aromas on the nose. More coffee and chocolate on the palate, but remains dry with some light mineral notes. Finishes smooth with lingering coffee and a refreshing, crisp finish.

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a hazy, deep gold with a finger of creamy, white head that lingers. Lactose and vanilla on the nose with citrus, dank, pineapple and light mango notes as it warms. Creamy and slightly slick texture on the palate. Sweet at first then bitter on the finish. I'm not the biggest fan of lactose in IPAs but I guess it has done what it set out to do.

Can from Holiday Market. Pours a hazy glowing gold color with a full 2 fingers of white foam that dissipates. Nice tropical nose with pineapple, citrus and dank aromas. Good carbonation, more pineapple, mango and lychee flavors. A bit of pine and pithy bitterness on the finish. Pretty solid overall though...I'd buy a 6 pack.

Prominent bourbon flavor, lighter body, not super boozy. Vanilla is nice as it warms up
