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 brewery. Poured a dark brown color, maybe dark cola, but mostly black, much like the other dark offerings from them. Aroma was solid chocolate. Flavor was milk chocolate, semi-sweet cocoa, bakers chocolate. Chocolate cake. Fudge with chocolate dusting. Very tasty - alcohol is totally hidden here. Packs a punch.

Draft at Aslin. Poured an incredibly hazy yellow color, at first I was worried that the beer was just the bottom of the keg, and that I just got a ton of yeast, but nope - it’s just hazy unfiltered. And delicious. I was surprised by the blast of tropical fruit notes - lots of mango, papaya. Tangerine? Fruity blast. Like drinking mango juice with a great orange juice finish, coupled with a little bit of resin buried in there. Wow. Growler of this went over well at the Super Bowl.

Draft at the brewery. Poured a caramel brown color, ruby notes, small off-white head. Aroma was smooth caramel notes, some light booze, but not that much for the alcohol being 12%. Flavor was smooth caramel, light sweet candi notes, some light toasted malts, some nutty notes. Alcohol is there, but is very well masked. Delicious.
