Zen Mower
Zen Mower is a crisp, straw-colored classic American pale ale with a bready cracker character and a slight caramel finish. The Cascade and Centernnial hops provide a classic pine and zesty grapefruit citrus combo, complemented by earthy lemongrass and a slight dankness from the Sorachi Ace. Cold-fermented and conditioned for three weeks, this easy-drinking, refreshing beer will you find your Zen after mowing the lawn. Enjoy!
Ashleigh
Ashleigh is a traditional Helles-style German pale lager originating in Munich. It is a clean, crisp, and refreshing golden beer with a focus on sweet, bready malt flavors balanced by subtle noble hops. A bright crushable beer for warmer weather.
Teri
Teri is our 2026 Pink Boots beer. It is a pale hoppy lager utilizing the 9th annual pink boots hop blend. The blend consists of Ekuanot®, Centennial, HBC 638, and Mosaic® varietals. A lean light malt blend gives a crackery sweet bed for a generous helping of dank, piney citrusy and tropical hop flavors.
