RIP, 2016

We’re incredibly lucky to have had a truly remarkable year, and it’s all thanks to you: our fans.

We launched into three new states (Massachusetts, Washington, and North Carolina). We were lucky to travel, make new friends, and meet our fans across the country.

We brewed collaborations with Great Divide Brewing Co., Prairie Artisin Ales, Burial Beer Co., Brash Brewing Co., and Jester King Brewery. We feel like a bunch of Davids collaborating with Giants. Truly an Honor.
