Gerrit Kolsch

 5% alcohol. Brewed in Louisiana by Rally Cap Brewing. 

"Crisp, balanced and refreshing, our take on the Kolsch finishes with a slight fruitiness thanks to the Ariana and Callista hops."

Bells Bright White

 5% alcohol. No listed IBU. Brewed in Michigan by Bells. 

"An alternative to dark and heavy winter warmers and stouts, Bright White® (formerly Winter White) is a stylish and refreshing Wheat Ale.

Fermented with a Belgian ale yeast, a blend of barley and wheat malts yields a mixture of clove and fruity aromas, all without the use of any spices."

Stone Enjoy By 01.01.21 Unfiltered IPA

 9.4% alcohol. 90 IBU. Introduced in Nov., 2020. Brewed in America by Stone. 

"For this version of Stone Enjoy By IPA we thought: “We don’t always have a filter, so why should our beer?” By skipping a step and letting this devastatingly fresh, golden-hued double IPA go un filtered, the beer takes on a hazy appearance and its peach and tropical fruit hop aroma are intensified. So though it may sound like it, this missed step was no misstep.

Like the other IPAs in this series, this version is brewed specifically NOT to last."

First Pitch

 5.7% alcohol. Introduced in 2017. Brewed in Louisiana by Rally Cap. 

"First Pitch is our flagship Hazy Pale Ale, so you can expect to see this beer on tap very regularly. Thanks to a generous helping of wheat and oats, this 5.7% brew is light in color and carries a nice, soft mouth feel. This soft palette allows for the hop flavors to clearly shine through in this one. Plenty of Citra and Sabro hops results in a beer that pops with citrus, stone fruit, and coconut flavors - we think you’ll enjoy this one!"
