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

32 oz crowler shared with friends. Thanks to DCLawyer for the crowler! Hazy golden orange with off-white head. Aromas of tropical fruit, citrus, light floral notes, some garlic and onion. Tastes of tropical fruit, citrus, light floral notes, stone fruit, some fruit roll-ups as the beer warms up. Medium body with a dry finish. Pretty good.

Thanks Matt for sharing the crowler! Poured into a snifter showing medium filtered raspberry red with sparse white foam. The nose shows light notes of black berries. The palate is light bodied and moderately carbonated. Flavors of very juicy blackberry forwardness and lightly sweet with practically not carbonation and closer to juice but with some bready malt on the mid palate.

Thanks Matt for sharing the crowler! Poured into a snifter showing unfiltered orange with a finger of clean white foam. The nose is mostly pine forward. The palate is medium bodied and moderately carbonated. Flavors of grainy malt but dry with light notes of pineapple. Drinks more like a pale ale but not bad.
