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

Draft at Aslin. Poured a kind of dark yellow-orange color with a small wispy head. Aroma was lots of white wine, vanilla, wood. Grape, light funky funk notes. Pretty tasty, a total transformation of the beer.

A little nicer than Neutrino, possibly because I prefer Mosaic. Resin, citrus and pineapple. Cloudy orange pour with good head and lacing. More bitter finish hear than Neutrino. Tap at brewery.

Candied apple and guava. Cloudy amber pour - looks like Ethiopian honey wine. Finish is surprisingly clean. Nice, but not quite as wonderful as some of their other superstar IPAs. Tap at brewery.
