Description
We focus our attention on brewing rustic, unfiltered, aromatic beers that are approachable and unique. We pull from our home brewing background to build beers that pay homage to tradition, but break new ground in American brewing techniques and flavors by blurring the line between beer and wine. We are brewers of big ideas in very small batches.

On tap at the Oakland Arbor location. Aroma is full of that SARA funk - lots of lemon notes with a light green grape notes. Hints of peppery phenolics and a slight herbal, grassy hop note. Very faint alcohol notes and hints of a poopy, sulfur note. Faint oak notes. Pours a very clear, pale, yellow color with a medium large, thick, pillowy white head that recedes steadily to a small film that lingers. Light lacing and faint legs. Flavor is lightly acidic with faint sweetness and light grain notes. Low bitterness and very faint alcohol notes. Faint herbal hop notes. Quite a bit of lemony, green grape SARA funk with hints of peppery phenolics and a faint floral note. Faint oak notes. Mouthfeel is light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and faint alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid barrel aged table beer. This is super crushable and despite being so small has it so much aroma and flavor due to the SARA funk and barrel character.

On tap at the Oakland Arbor location. Aroma is moderately grain forward with a bready, cracker note. Moderate hip notes of grapefruit, onion and dank resin. Hints of alcohol. Pours a hazy, golden color with a medium sized, thick, fluffy white head that recedes to a small film that lingers. Fairly high lacing and faint legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with moderately strong grain notes of cracker and bread with hints of flour. Fairly high bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderate hop notes of grapefruit, onion and dank, pine resin. Lighter berry notes and hints of tropical fruit. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, an ok pale ale but I much prefer 831. This beer is rather malt forward with a weird unfermented, flour note to it. The hops are super dank and oniony with a bit of hop bite in the finish. Not as fruity or citrusy as I would like.
