While fresh­ness is a key com­po­nent of many beers – espe­cially big, cit­rusy, flo­ral IPAs – we’ve taken it fur­ther, a lot fur­ther, in this IPA. You see, we specif­i­cally brewed it NOT to last. We’ve not only gone to exten­sive lengths to … Read more

Brewer Descrip­tion …Rep­re­sent­ing the darker side of Shandy, Jack-O-Traveler is an allur­ing beer illu­mi­nated by the tastes of fall.
