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 the source on release day. Murky orange yellow, see pic. I know that cloudy is in, but this is not a pretty beer. Nice aroma of tropical fruit and fresh orange. Taste is bright juicy summer fruit, light bitterness, good balance. Delicious.
