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 crowler from the brewery pours a murky orange with some creamy, white head. Nose has orange creamcicle, light candy, green vanilla, tangerine. Flavor is the same, orange creamcicle, tangerine, orange juice, vanilla. Finished sweet. Solid. If this was in a Trillium bottle, people would be hyping the crap out of this.

From a crowler at the DC tasting on March 25, 2016. Poured a very hazy golden color with a small off-white head. Aroma was a blast of herbal rosemary and vanilla. Orange citrus notes. Herbal notes are interesting, I think the vanilla worked better in this one than the rosemary combination. Helped to finish off the beer later in the night.
