Rakautra

Our staff favorite has finally returned!

The one and only Rakautra — hard to pronounce and even harder to put down — is back on draft and in cans.

Loaded with Rakau and Citra hops, this IPA is perfectly balanced with notes of sweet citrus, a soft full body, and an insanely smooth finish.

Come see why this one never lasts long around here 😎

sweet & juicy

pine rak

Pine Rak takes everything you love about Rakautra and kicks it up with bright pineapple character for the ultimate juicy summer IPA.

This version brings waves of citrus, tropical fruit, soft sweetness, and that smooth full body that makes Rak so easy to crush.

Available now on draft and in 4-packs while it lasts 😎

Gelato girl
orange cream

She’s baaaaackkkkk! 🍊🍦

Inspired by the ultimate summer treat, Orange Cream Gelato Girl takes our classic Ice Cream Man IPA base and blends it with notes of sweet orange, marshmallow, and just a hint of vanilla for a smooth, citrusy sip that tastes like sunshine in a glass 

Stop by the taproom today for a draft pour or snag some 4packs to go before they disappear!

Palate Mallet

Once a year, the mallet drops. 

Palate Mallet returns to the taproom — our bold, hop-loaded DIPA packed with big citrus bite and enough punch to remind your tastebuds who’s boss.

 

Draft pours and four packs are in the taproom, and once it’s gone… it’s gone for another year.

it's finally time

No Lag Lager

No lag. No buffering. Just crisp beer. 

No Lag Lager  is our once-a-year crusher brewed for arcade runs, late nights, and anyone chasing that clean, crispy finish. Full of lemon and lime, No Lag is smooth, refreshing, and dangerously easy to keep playing.

 

 

Draft pours and four packs are in the taproom!
