What's Your Name Mean?
"Want to play a game?" Used to be our response, but because of our growth and your support we're adding this link to ease your curiosity. No, it's not an acronym. Yes, it is a name! But it's not a combination of ours. In fact, Andrew and Kai are brother-in-laws. Each married to 2 of 3 sisters. Richard's brother is married to the third. And Voila! There it is! We are all family by marriage and bond. Oh, and the name.... is the girl's maiden name! Brownie points

Pour at Snallygaster 2025. Poured a nearly black color with a small tan head. Aroma was hot, bourbon. Caramel and light fig and dates. Just okay. A bit hotter than I expected it to be.

Would have preferred a pint can from Half Time but I’ll make do with 12 oz. First off, it’s an interesting label. Secondly, it is a DIPA. My snifter is arrayed, let us pour. I see a hazy, light orange liquid completed by a creamy, substantial top of undoubtedly white foam. The scent is citrus leaning towards oranges, a touch of pine and bread. The taste is better than appearance or scent. Juice immediately, a little dankness, lemons, grain and a nice following bitterness. A hybrid IPA, I can appreciate that. Tasty brew.

Plum, oak and caramel. Pours clear mahogany without much head. Boozy bittersweet finish. Caramel. Flavour a little on the thin side for a quad, but glad they are trying styles like this. Tap at Herndon location.

Woah, loads of pineapple here. Maybe terpenes as well in this. Who knows with these guys these days. Plenty of booze. Fakish 90s juice box flavour. Finish cloys on the sour and astringent side. Tap at Aslin Herndon.

Definitely has something like a Gatorade vibe. It's a bit odd. Tangerine, lemon peel. Pours clear dark amber with decent head. Light bitter end, some malt but body is pretty light. Hop profile on the light side here too. Tap at Herndon taproom.
