Folks will get a taste of the Elizabeth Rutherford, co-fermented with Napa-sourced Cabernet Sauvignon aged in New French Oak, and the Bourgogne Noir, a sour blonde co-fermented with Pinot Noir grapes, a touch of carbonation adds a slightly prickly sensation to the pallet.

Draft beers featured in the Bruery takeover include:
Paws and Claws – two new offshoot August release beers, an ipa and a dipa respectively.

Chocolate Reign– The elevated version of Chocolate Rain – a double barrel-aged imperial stout with cacao nibs and vanilla beans (21% ABV).
Mash & French Toast– A bourbon barrel-aged barleywine ale, joining forces with even stickier, malt-forward forces from our barrel warehouse to create the gooey-sweet profile with hints of caramel and rich maple character, summoning spices and warm vanilla notes (13.7% ABV).
Island Time – A sweet stout brewed with Hawaiian sea salt and lactose; with marshmallow, toasted coconut, and natural vanilla flavor added (8.6% ABV).
S.H.I.T S’mores – A rich Imperial stout aged in bourbon barrels with marshmallow, cacao, graham cracker and vanilla added (15% ABV).
Retreat – DIPA brewed with a simple malt bill and hopped heavily with fruit-forward Mosaic, Cashmere and el dorado for aromatic tropical notes (8.6% ABV).
Relax – An unfiltered, fresh and full of hop flavor IPA without the bitterness, leaving citrusy notes (6.8% ABV).
Spontanaheim – A spontaneously fermented sour blonde ale aged in oak barrels (5.8% ABV).
