Garage Beer Classic
4.1% alcohol. Introduced in 2018. Reformulated in 2023. Brewed in California by City Brewing for Jock Beer.
"Garage Beer is beer-flavored beer made for the places where real life actually happens: the garage, the driveway, the backyard, and anywhere a chair gets unfolded. We don’t take ourselves too seriously, and we don’t overthink the beer either: it’s light, crisp, and easy to drink, whether you’re fixing something that didn’t need fixing or hanging with whoever wandered over. Garage Beer is about showing up, pitching in, and cracking a cold one when the work’s done (or not). The Garage is Always Open."

Hardywood Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter
9.2% alcohol. Imperial porter with natural flavors. Introduced in 2025. Brewed in Virginia for Trader Joe's by Hardywood. "Once again, the fine folks at Hardywood Park have delivered on a deeply flavorful dessert beer inspired by one of our classic candies. This time, the multi-award-winning Virginia brewery set their sights on our Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups, recontextualizing the iconic mix of rich cacao and sweet-savory peanut butter into a super decadent imperial porter. To achieve this feat, they’ve used an ingenious mix of chocolate malt, actual peanut butter, and other natural flavors. We think their Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter is nothing short of a triumph.
Big in flavor, big in body, Imperial strength yet superlatively smooth on the palate, Hardywood Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter makes a great after-dinner drink with a slice of Yellow Mini Sheet Cake, as well as a slow sipper on a warm evening. We recommend enjoying it chilled, straight out of the can, or poured into a frosty pint glass. We also recommend picking up a four-pack sooner, rather than later—our Hardywood collaboration beers always fly off the shelves." https://www.traderjoes.com/home/products/pdp/hardywood-dark-chocolate-peanut-butter-porter-081803
