The “theme” for the latest arrivals was oddly enough goses (a sour German beer brewed with coriander and a touch of salt) and IPAs. Crazy, huh? We actually tasted four goses, but only currently have the three below in stock. Well, we also have Driftwood’s Cry Me a River. It’s a great style for the summer—low-alcohol, refreshing acidity and a kiss of salt to keep you coming back for more!
