Nitro Merlin Milk Stout incorporates nitro gas for a smooth, creamy mouthfeel and milk sugar for a hint of sweet roundness. To create this beer, Brewmaster Matt “Merlin” Brynildson worked his magic to offer a true widget-free nitro experience straight from the can. Be sure to “master the surge pour” for maximum enjoyment. Ultra-smooth nitro mouthfeel. Dark, toasted malt flavors, a creamy texture and a touch of sweetness.

Real Ale Brewing CompanyFresh KicksAmerican-Style India Pale Ale (IPA) | 6.6% ABV | 40 IBUOffered By: FATBOY |
Fresh Kicks is inspired by Hazy IPAs from the Northeast – beers that are at their best when consumed hella-fresh. The grain bill includes oats and malted wheat – malts rich in proteins that lend this beer its distinctive hazy appearance and a soft mouthfeel. A blend of Azacca, Mosaic, Amarillo, and Strata hops, added at multiple times in the fermentation process, produces hop flavors and aromas that mimic the addition of ripe tropical fruits. Like that new pair of fresh kicks, this beer will have you walking on AIR.

Dust Bowl Brewing CoImperial IPAImperial or Double India Pale Ale (IPA) | 10.4% ABV | 100 IBUOffered By: DAVO |
At 100 IBUs, Therapist is surprisingly easy to drink. Bold hop aromas and flavors of citrus, tropical fruits and apricot are bracketed by light malty sweetness that does not overpower. This Hop-Centric Imperal IPS treats you to a heavy dose of hops that won’t leave yu bitter. Have a seat (you;ll need one) and leave you worries to the Therapist
