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

32oz growler from the brewery pours an extremely murky, basically opaque, orange with some frothy, white head. Nose has citrus, orange, tangerine too, a lot of muddled marmalade, some mild tropical fruit too, a little green vanilla. Oats are quite obvious in the flavor, there’s a sweetness and a little graininess that makes the oats evident. Flavor is solid though, mild candy, orange, tangerine, a little orange soda. Finishes a little creamy, sort of full bodied but pretty drinkable too.
