Oliphant Brewing Pickle Beer Lager 4pk 16oz – That’s right, no foolin’ on what this is. Liquid pickle juice for your guzzlement! 4% ABV 

Modist Apiary Drip DDH DIPA 4pk 16oz – Double dry-hopped Honey Cream Double IPA brewed with barley, wheat, and oat malts, local honey, milk sugar, hopped and double dry-hopped with our hand-selected Strata, Simcoe, Sabro, cryo Simcoe and cryo Sabro. 8.4% ABV 

Young Blood Hope Is Not A Strategy Hazy Pale Ale DDH 4pk 16oz – Hazy Pale Ale double dry hopped with Idaho 7 and Amarillo. The idea that hope may not be a strategy but makes for more exciting trips to the casino and Packers games… We adore Idaho 7 at YBBC and the notes from this lovely hop-pungent papaya and ruby red grapefruit Sundays are matched perfectly by resinous tea leaves leaving Idaho 7 as the star in this hazy, juice bomb of a brew. 6% ABV 

Maine Beer Co Lunch IPA 500ml Single – Lunch is a finback whale that was spotted off the coast of Maine as early as 1982. Her dorsal fin looks as though a bite has been taken out of it, adding to her distinctive character. We dedicate this beer to her persistence and determination. Aromas of caramel, orange, papaya, grapefruit, and underlying floral notes, with hints of onion and garlic. Hop profiles of Amarillo, Centennial, and Simcoe with malt flavors of American 2-Row, Caramel 40L, Red Wheat, Munich 10L, and Carapils. 7% ABV 

Metronome Jam Session Sour 4pk 16oz – A version of Metronome Brewings Jam Session Sour fruited with Lingonberry. If you know the proper grammatical and syntactical usage of “Uff Da” then this one’s for you! 5.6% ABV
