Flavors of the Season

Get 'em while you can!


 
Red Chair NWPA & Hop Henge Experimental IPA Red Chair NWPA

are two hop forward brews that will tickle your tongue with citrus and perk up your peepers with unbelievable hop aromas. According to The Pour Fool (Seattle, WA blog), "Hop Henge is bottled sunshine for your cold, gray winter," and Red Chair NWPA can be considered a 'sexy beer'! Call them what you will. But beware friends...these beers will disappear as surely as winter makes wHop Henge Experimental IPAay for spring and spring turns to summer. Then you will ask yourself, or us, about that itch you cannot scratch. "When can I get that Red Chair and Hop Henge again!!?" Smiling sympathetically, we'll say, "...patience grasshopper, you must wait until the world once again needs a bottle of seductive sunshine."
