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 Meridian Pint during Savor Week. Murky orange juice color. Nice fruity orange aroma. Taste is nicely balanced stone fruit and tropical fruit. Delicious but ugly.

Rating #7000. WOOO! Before I get into the rating, as with all milestones there are many thanks to give. Thanks to Mrs. Nimbleprop for always being up for a beer stop and for traveling to breweries, big and small, good and bad, near and far. Thanks to all of brewers out there who put a tremendous amount of effort into making a quality product. Thanks to all of the proprietors out there who bring quality products to their bars and restaurants and tolerate all the beer nerds. Finally, thanks to all the great Ratebeerians out there, especially the DC crew, who make our site and community as strong as it is. Now to the beer, 32oz crowler is an opaque orange, almost khaki color, with some creamy, lacing white head. Nose has a lot of guava and mango, a little vanilla cream, some light spice, some cake icing, a little Bubblicious, some orange creamcicle too. Flavor belies some oats maybe instead of what smells like vanilla, guava, papaya, mango, pineapple custard, jackfruit, a hint of alcohol - sort of peaches ’n cream schnapps. Finishes creamy. Interesting.
