🍺 CZECH IT OUT 🇨🇿

One Night In Prague, our Czech Style Premium Pale Lager is back on the lineup! Brewed the traditional way, with patience, precision, and absolutely zero shortcuts.

We stretched this offering across two full shifts to hit every mash rest and step the old-school way, building deep flavor and that classic Czech-style body. Expect a crisp, dry finish layered with subtle noble hop bitterness, floral spice, and a soft bready character beneath a rich, whipped foam head.

5.0% ABV and dangerously smooth, this is pilsner purity at its finest. Na zdraví! One Night In Prague is pouring now. 🍻

🍬 SIP or KRUSH? 🍭
 
Straight out of the hop candy shop, Kandy Krush is loaded with a dreamy blend of Nelson Sauvin, Krush, and Krush Lupocore hops, creating layers of juicy mango, peach, guava, berries, orange candy, and white grape in every sip.
 
To push the aroma even further, we used Krush Lupocore: a concentrated hop product packed with extra resin and saturated flavor. The result is an explosion of fruit-forward character with soft haze, huge aroma, and just enough sticky dankness underneath all that tropical candy sweetness.
 
Bright, super pale, and dripping with flavor, this 7% IPA hits every hazy note we love. The only question is… will you be sipping or krushing? 🍊🥭🍇

🌵 DESERT DRIVEN. HOP FORWARD.🌵

Our ode to the West Coast, inspired by the iconic Joshua Tree National Park, this lager delivers explosive hop character layered over an ultra-crisp base. Loaded with Amarillo and Citra hops, Joshua Tree bursts with huge dank aromatics before waves of citrus, tropical fruit, apricot, and ripe stone fruit take over. A firm malt backbone keeps everything balanced while letting the hop intensity shine from first sip to finish.

Bright, punchy, dank, and endlessly drinkable at 5.5%… Joshua Tree is back for another year, & has solidified its place in our lager lineup 🏜️

⚡️ SUPERDELIC HAZE ⚡️
 
Straight outta the hop lab, Ill Convoy rolls deep with that crisp haze flavor turned all the way up, featuring one of our favorite newer hop varietals, Superdelic. Tropical aromas and bright citrus peel hit first, then come the candy-coated notes of cherry, passionfruit, and ruby grapefruit for a smooth ride. 🍒🍭 Simcoe backs it up with fresh pine, grapefruit zest, and extra tropical layers that keep this offering expressive. 
 
At 5.5%, Ill Convoy is packed with flavor without losing its easygoing flow. Grab your homies & pull up like it’s a block party… this one won’t be around for long! 📻🍻
