• The Experience:

Come Face the Strange!

What is it? It’s a West Coast Pale Ale brewed with oats and hopped with Mosaic Cryo, Pacific Northwest Citra, and just a touch of Vic Secret from Australia. It’s bright, smooth, a little cosmic, and exactly what you’ve been waiting for [5.5%]! And it’s back on draft and in cans.

According to staff, it’s the kind of beer that makes you want to put on your red shoes and dance the blues! They invite you to come Face the Strange.
