Kringle Juice is available now!

Santa's favorite IPA is available now at the tap room and has been making its way across our distribution footprint this week.

About Kringle Juice: At the end of a long night of delivering presents, we imagine that Santa’s had enough milk and cookies and instead, loves to settle in with a juicy and delicious IPA. Kringle Juice features an initial blast of orange and tangerine in the aroma that blends with flavors of pear and kiwi over a silky smooth mouthfeel. This beer pairs extremely well with caroling, mistletoe, and good tidings. 7.0% ABV.

SLAYBURNER is our classic Hayburner American IPA with blood oranges to enhance the trademark citrus aroma and give it a little tart and just a touch of sweetness. 7.2% ABV. Draft and 6 packs of 12oz cans.
