Our company will craft only the highest quality ales, lagers and variants that will help redefine American beer culture, re-educate the consumer palate and revive people’s passion, while using the highest quality ingredients from around the world as well as sourced locally.
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

Can to tulip.
Appearance: bright orange color with a two finger white foamy head which slipped off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mangoes and pineapples and a light sugary sweetness; lots of sweet cream and lactose
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together in a pretty sweet to juicy sort of way; finishes creamy with the mangoes
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; very smooth and creamy along the tongue
Overall: one of these milkshake IPA's I thought I'd give a chance and ended up thinking I'm exactly thrilled with this style. Hmmmm...eh...

Can to snifter.
Appearance: pale orange haziness with a finger and a half of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: oranges, pine, lemon pith, sweet onions and subtle pineapple-y hop tones with some doughy/bready malts
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a good bittersweet semi-juicy character; finishes orangey/lemony/piney
Texture: medium bodied - maybe a touch over; mostly sessionable; pretty smooth along the tongue
Overall: nice enough NEDIPA pretty worthy of returning to.

Smells like a kick in the ass. Cranberry, ginger maybe, cinnamon, clove, marzipan. Pours dark brown with ok head. Supercloying tangy finish with spices that mess with your tongue for a while. Tap at Herndon Aslin.

Less smoke than many smoked porters. It's there, but caramel kind of buries it. Pours black with decent mocha head. Light tang cloying finish but mostly clean. Tap a Herndon location.

Hops up front is very aromatic. Not sure what Erebus hops are, but the smell is kind of like unripe grape, grapeskin, maybe a little pine. Pours clear golden with decent head. Light bitter end with some hop tang. Tap at Herndon taproom.
