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 hazy yellow color with a small off-white head. Aroma was light citrus notes - perhaps a touch more hop than my girlfriend would like, but she still enjoyed this beer. Flavor was light citrus, light malt notes. Very drinkable.

Draft at the brewery. Poured a dark brown color, maybe dark cola, but mostly black. Wispy tan head. Aroma was light chili notes, roasted malts. Flavor had plenty of chili, cinnamon notes, dark bitter chocolate. This was so tasty, very smooth, very masked, very well balanced - shocked at how good this one is - it might end up being one of my favorite beers of 2016 and it is only January 2nd.

Very nicely done. Everything is going for this beer. Roast, chocolate and well balanced chili. Lots of cinnamon. Black pour with good head and lacing. Bittersweet and spicy finish. Well balanced. If anything there’s a touch too much cinnamon and maybe pepper but these are imperfections. Tap at brewery.
