Cellarmaker Dank Statement (475ml)
$14.00
10% ABV, We donā€™t always make triple IPAs but when we do, they are DANK. Imagine our level of stokedness to bring back this ripping West Coast banger! We swapped some hops in & out to update this to match our current ideals of what makes the best terpene driven clear & bitter beer. Mosaic, Simcoe, Strata & Centennial hops are layered in over and over to create a beer with bright aromas of strawberry daiquiri, Grand Marnier & lemon sorbet, supported by immature ganja bud and redwood forest floor. The 10% alcohol by volume is hidden well behind a high level of clean & crisp bitterness.

$25.00
5.5% ABV, Luxo, our latest foray into Italian Style Pils, strikes a lovely balance between snappy noble hops and a refreshing touch of malty sweetness. The extra hit of dry hop aroma spices it up, but the refreshing drinkability is what will keep you coming back to this one. Tettnang, perhaps my favorite noble hop, takes the aromatic lead with delicate notes of melon and green tea. Saaz lays down a spicy bitterness, and Saphir adds a hint of wildflower and lemongrass to the nose. When you take a sip, the soft, bready malt profile serves as a refreshing interlude between the crisp, lingering bitterness.
