Vine ParkYup. That about sums it up. Wait…

Our Walnut Brown, an all grain version that is medium bodied with a mild hop profile that let’s the malt come forward with a slight coffee flavor.

Sounds tasty! I think I may have to send Dawn over after work some time to pick some up!

We’ll be adding them to the “breweries” page soon. I’m very glad to see these beer in growlers!
