Featured Ale:

"Sharkbait Saison"

Captain Quint, a salty gap-toothed pyrate, in command of the vessel Orca, was out doing what pyrates do best—stealing the cargo of sea vessels. On the horizon, the Capt’n spied a Clipper ship, the Dupont, flying proud a Belgium flag. Deciding it was full of treasure, the Captain along with his crew of two, Hooper and Brody set a course to intercept the vessel. During the attack and quick surrender, the Dupont’s hold revealed its precious cargo, casks of Saison ale—a golden colored ale with delicate floral hop finish. Toast to the good fortune of Capt’n Quint—may his voyages be uneventful—even in these shark infested waters!
