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

Huge, super piney head. Some straw and barley backbone. Starts very strong from aroma. Pours golden amber with good head. Finishes a little weaker though, with a bit of an off mash malt tanginess. Tap at brewery.

The deceiver is a little stronger than this one, but still a nice beer. Coffee influence isn’t huge here, only a light touch. Dark chocolate and some roast. Seems like it needs some tinkering. Black pour. Bittersweet finish. Tap at brewery.
