Our 12th Anniversary Week is gonna be a blast! Stop by every day for new fun specials and live entertainment. 9/7 Mon - All Glass Jug draft pours for $5 9/8 Tue 5pm - DJ in the beer garden with Three Count Records 9/9 Wed 7pm - Oktoberfest Themed Trivia with Neon Fox Trivia 9/10 Thurs - Counter Currant 12th Anniversary sour release, draft and bottle. This barrel-aged mixed-culture dark sour was brewed in August of 2025, undergoing a primary fermentation in stainless before being transferred into neutral oak barrels with our house mixed-culture, where it rested for 12 months. We then added pureed black currants directly into the barrels to kick off a tertiary fermentation on the fruit. The beer from the barrels was then blended together and packaged just in time for our 12th anniversary. It pours a deep brown with ruby highlights, bringing a complex, deep aroma and flavor layered from fruity to funky. It develops further as it warms, with each sip bringing more nuance to the palate. A beer to be enjoyed slowly, but pick up a bottle quickly, as this limited-release won’t be around for long. 9/11 Fri 6-9pm - The Phoebes live in the Beer Garden with Taqueria Ahualempan food truck Local legends The Phoebes are back in the beer garden as part of our Beer Garden Concert Series - this time at our Friday Night Edition.
