BREWERS NOTES:
This is our Contemporary Pilsner, Crow Creek Gold, aged in the elusive Mezcal barrel for 2 months and then blended with blood orange puree. The resulting concoction is a savory cocktail-esque beer with a smokey, woody backbone from the mezcal barrels, complemented nicely by the acidity and citrus contributions from the blood orange.
