Triple Beer Release + South Moon Under Pop-Up Shop!

We’re back at it with our “Creative Break” series bringing two Hazy IPAs and an Imperial Oat Milk Stout on Nitro to the Taproom on Saturday, June 15th. And, just in time for Father’s Day, we’ll be featuring a South Moon Under pop-up shop from 3 to 7 p.m. in the Taproom!

Our SMU friends will be bringing along some perfect-for-gifting goodies—from socks and hats to bottle openers and soap—taking any stress out of the usual “what to get Dad?” scenario. We’ve also partnered up with this Ocean City-born retailer to create a tee you’ll want to rock all summer long. They go on sale Saturday in the Taproom, but you can also pick one up at the following Maryland SMU locations: Towson-The Shops at Kenilworth, Baltimore-Harbor East, Annapolis Towne Centre, and Rio Washingtonian.

Watch this space! We’ll reveal the T-shirt design on Thursday, June 13th.

Slightly Creative Hazy IPA with Mango, our Hazy IPA with Mango, is a wheat-heavy IPA fermented with our ester-forward house ale yeast. Citra hops are prominently featured, along with a judicious use of mango puree that serves as a compliment to the base beer.

Slightly More Creative Hazy IPA with Mango and Vanilla, our—you guessed it!—Hazy IPA with Mango and Vanilla, adds on the former brew with vanilla to create a textural creaminess and enhance the overall body of the base beer.

Both Hazy IPAs will be available on draft and in cans.

Oats + Hazelnut + Coffee + Stuff, our Imperial Oat Milk Stout with Hazelnut and Coffee, is a prodigious pastry stout that’s unabashedly hazelnut forward with a complimentary coffee profile via a duo of cold brew concentrate and dry-beaning. The Nitro can treatment significantly boosts the perception of body while adding a “rounding” texture, softening the angularity of the coffee.

The Imperial Oat Milk Stout will be available in Nitro cans.

TASTING NOTES:

Slightly Creative Hazy IPA w/Mango – Upon first impression, Slightly Creative Hazy IPA w/ Mango emanates with an aromatic blast of unabashed mango and yeast-derived stone fruit. On the palate, we experience waves of green mango followed by a pleasing underpinning of pithy tangerine. A unique combination of Ekuanot Cryo, Citra, and Cashmere hops create a hop character which develops a seamless synergy with the over half ton of mango puree added to the fermentation vessel. Full-bodied yet refreshing, Slightly Creative IPA w/Mango is sure to please lovers of tropical-accented IPAs.

Slightly More Creative IPA w/Mango & Vanilla – Slightly More Creative IPA w/Mango & Vanilla builds upon the tropical cornucopia established by our Slightly Creative Hazy IPA w/ Mango, by massaging in carefully measured doses of Tahitian vanilla, thereby creating vivid sensations of mango creamsicle and a more rounded, yet prevalent hop character. Additional aromatic and palate impressions imbued via the vanilla additions never becoming overbearing, but only soften, round and otherwise add textural complexity to an already complex beer. Consider this summer dessert exemplified!

Oats & Hazelnut & Coffee & Stuff – The second iteration of our nitrogenized Imperial Oat Milk Stout, Oats & Hazelnut & Coffee & Stuff, bursts at the seams like an intensely flavored, coffee-laced nutella ice cream. Despite being predominantly hazelnut-forward, “Oats” retains a beautiful coffee presence, which effortlessly hones and sharpens the overall flavor profile. We are eternally grateful to the flavor wizards at Ceremony Coffee, who supplied their Destroyer blend via a prodigious combination of cold-brew concentrate and whole bean steeping. Both soft and luxuriously flavored, “Oats” will undoubtedly satiate those who seek intense flavors in their Imperial Stouts.

Taproom opens at 11 a.m.
