MugiWhoa! Smart but full of energy! I love that double punch of crispness and aroma!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, Y.MARKET BREWING’s Baltoro Expedition is on tap, pushing the sharp bitterness and dry character even further.
MugiWow, and then CRAFTROCK’s DRINK ALL DAY Kölsch on tap No. 3 too? They’ve even set up a rest stop!
Hop BroThen after that, tap No. 3 is set to become KAMIKATZ’s Morning Saunner, a lemon-and-sea-salt lager, so they’re thinking one step ahead.
