Palace Walls - Berliner with Peach and Pink Guava 4.2% ABV
This fruited version of our berliner-style weisse features loads of peach and pink guava. Tons of fruit character stands up to the assertive sourness of the beer making a very drinkable delight.

Visage - Mixed Fermentation Saison with Dandelion Aged in Wine Barrels 6.3% ABV
Visage is brewed with locally foraged dandelions and fermented in red wine barrels with our house mixed culture. This beer would not be possible without the help of our community, friends, and family picking these flowers with us. Thank You. $11.99/500ml Bottle
All three beers will be available on draft when we open at Noon. Cans and bottles go on sale at Noon as well. Limits will be set morning of the release based on turnout. We are a small brewery and put as much of these beers into cans as our system allows. The goal would be that anyone that arrives by Noon Saturday has the opportunity to buy something. Thanks for your understanding!
Also on for the release will be our newest IPA, Test Press, brewed with all Ohio ingredients. The Ohio grown Chinook and Cascade create a flavor experience that is truly unique. Very melon forward aroma and taste that isn't present in any other hop combination we have tasted.
We will also be debuting our beer brewed for the WinterFolk Festival as well as a live music performance preview from 7-10pm with a couple bands featured in this year's WinterFolk Festival at Yellow Cab Tavern on January 19th. The beer is Plaid Strings and is an English Brown Ale. The live performance in the taproom features OldNews and Biscuits & Gravy starting at 7pm.
We hope to see everyone out for this very special occasion as releasing mixed-fermentation beers in bottles is something we are very passionate about. We look forward to sharing this experience with you all!
Please be mindful of our neighbors around us. Please don't drink in the parking lot as the neighbors will call the police.
