Sometimes you get lucky; most of the time you don’t.
I got lucky when I married my partner in life, Laurie. I’m not sure what my life would look like without her, but I know it would be not nearly so full of love, so rich and so colorful. Enjoy this beer, first in my Improvisations Series. A celebration of our ever evolving life together.

Enjoy this dry hopped oak aged sour saison, rich and resplendent with hoppy tropical fruit notes, full of liliko’i, papaya, mango, and apricot.
Cheers & Mahalo plenty!
