What we're drinking:

Backwoods Brewing Company - Carson WA

Mosaic Pale, 4.7% ABV, 50 IBU

"Made with all Mosaic hops, this beer has a delightful floral aroma, and tropical notes of tangerine, papaya and pineapple. Light bodied, and super crushable!"

Old Town Brewing - Portland, OR

Haze of our Lives, Hazy IPA, 6.3% ABV, 35 IBU

"A series of unexpected affairs and juicy character embroil the contents of the can. From flowering drama, and bold finishes, to soft revelations of lingering bitterness, this interwoven basket of flavor will leave your palate in its fatal wake, and your loved ones asking…who did it?"

Copper State Brewing Co. - Green Bay, WI

Chocolate Coffee Peanut Butter Porter (Nitro), American Porter, 5.9% ABV, 42 IBU

"We have no better words than these. Consider yourself blessed in beer. This porter boasts a creamy nitro head to accentuate a silky peanut butter aroma with a hint of dark chocolate, fading to a fresh coffee finish."

Ghost Runners Brewery - Vancouver, WA

Running Up Pils, Pilsner, 5% ABV, 28 IBU

"Inspired by tradition, this German-style Pilsner is crafted with a mult-step infusion mash with old world pilsen malt. We then lager ferment over three different temperatures until the flavor profile is just right.  This light German Lager is packed full of flavor and is perfect accompaniment to the spring and summer. Cheers, and happy lawn mowing!"
