For our 2nd anniversary party we are raiding the cellar! This is your chance to get bottles that you may have missed from the last 2 years. We pulled 43 beers out for this event!

Pro tip: If there's something you really really want, reserve that one first and then go back and place another order for your other bottles. The number of orders you place doesn't matter to us. This is always a little bit of a mad dash, so we apologize in advance if you don't get a specific bottle! If you get an error during checkout, make sure to take a screenshot so we can help you out!

We will also be tapping exclusive one off beers and doing bottle pours of special beers in the tasting room from Thursday the 10th through Sunday the 13th, so mark the whole weekend off in your calendars!

Public reservations begin Saturday 1/5 at noon, and go until Friday 1/11 at noon.

Public pickup day is Saturday, 1/12 from 10am to 4pm. Pickups will end promptly at 4, but our tasting room will be open after 4, and we will be pouring some special beers for our anniversary throughout the night!

Biomimetic is our Biomimicry NEIPA base, fermented on 2nd use peaches from a forthcoming award winning beer... then we dry hopped with Amarillo, Chinook, Citra, and added a touch of vanilla to round it out for a bit of perceived sweetness. The resulting beer is a fluffy and fruity hop bomb, with a bit of funk and a bit of sweetness.

19.2 ounce cans are $8/each (not $8 per 4 pack).

We will be open from 5pm to 9pm. Stop by and have a glass of beer and grab some cans to go. We also have a fully stocked cooler of bottles for in house and to-go.

Our last Biomimicry IPA release went so well that we decided to re-brew it! We double dry hopped this batch with Belma, Chinook, Citra, and Denali for a deliciously fruity and tropical beer. We also backed down on the bitterness yet again, for a smooth and surprisingly full body.

This time around we put Biomimicry in a much more appropriate package for the beer: 19.2 ounce stove pipe cans! All of our cans are can conditioned, meaning we dose flat beer with sugar, fill and seam the can, and then the beer referments inside the can which carbonates the beer and scrubs out oxygen.

Cans are $8/ea and will be available first come, first served at the tasting room this Friday, August 24th from 5-9pm. The tasting room will be open for this night only. It is not open for regular hours yet. The next bottle release is September 8th from 10am to 4pm.

We will also have some bottles available for sale from previous releases, so if you missed out on a recent release, stop by to see what we've got!

This month we begin our annual exploration of local produce with a number of foraged and local ingredients in most of these beers!

Reservations start Saturday, 8/4 at noon, and go until Friday, 8/10 at noon.

Pickup day is Saturday, August 11th from 10 am - 4 pm.
