People have been asking for it, so we are delivering!

On Cinco de Mayo this year we are releasing our inFUSE tincture in house, a way to get FUSE, our spicy pale ale, on tap in our taproom ALL YEAR LONG!

To celebrate we will be hosting truck to pair with this foodie favorite beverage.

We will see you there!

Spring time hazy weather forecast calls for a hazy beer release. Hazy Rebuke, our grapefruit hazy, is all aromatics with the use of Citra, Cascade and Eukanot hops and a touch of real grapefruit! Not too bitter, not too sweet, it falls perfectly in the Goldilocks zone- unlike our Boise weather that just can’t seem to agree on what it wants! Come give it a try today ☀️
