More Berliner Weisse!

*|MC_PREVIEW_TEXT|*

View this email in your browser Berliner Weisse We've got a fresh batch of Berliner Weisse dropping this Thursday, April 12! Try it by itself, then compare with a pump of King Of Pops flavored syrup. Win-win! Berliner Weisse is pale straw colored, cloudy, and effervescent, with a sour aroma that includes a lemony tartness. Light body and high carbonation complement the clean sour flavor with notes of lemon and citrus, and the low alcohol content allows a hint of the malt profile to shine through. 3.2% ABV / 5 IBU Swine & Brine photo gallery We had a blast at this year's Swine & Brine festivities! Thanks so much to everybody who joined us and enjoyed the delicious food, beer, and cider. We're already scheming for next year's party! Photo gallery Schwarzbier We're bringing back our award-winning Schwarzbier on Thursday, April 19! #neverstoplagering Schwarzbier is a sessionable dark German lager with a slightly chocolaty, roasted aroma. Medium bodied, with a crisp, clean mouthfeel. Subtle malt flavors are balanced by moderate hop bitterness, followed by a pleasantly roasty finish. Winner of the gold medal in the Darker European Beer category at the 2016 Virginia Craft Beer Cup. 5% ABV 30 IBU On draft ✓ Crowler/growler fills to go Go Go Vegan Go will be the food truck in the beer garden for this release!
