Beer Tap List
Floridian Hefeweizen: Our unfiltered and refreshing German-style wheat beer is full on flavor yet light on the palate. Authentic hefeweizen yeast creates the compelling aromas of bananas, citrus, and cloves, while the all wheat and malt body perfectly captures the brilliance of a golden Florida sunset. 5.2% ABV
Buddhafest Marzen: We’re celebrating Oktoberfest with a true German festbier! Our Oktoberfest Marzen is brewed with Munich malts for a deep amber color and a bready flavor that makes it the perfect compliment to German food. 6% ABV
Vibin’ Groovable Lager: Best consumed with tasty tunes, Vibin’ is a Groovable Lager that’s smooth as a righteous riff. Its golden-pale body and delicate, noble hop harmony makes for a balanced experience that leaves you ready to feel the vibrations! 5% ABV
Hop Gun IPA: If you’re looking for hops, we’ve got your tail. Hop Gun IPA delivers a payload of good ol’ American hops straight to your palate, bursting forth with the flavors of grapefruit and pineapple. A careful dose of smooth caramel malts swoop in to balance out the finish — just like any good wingman should. ABV 7%
Last Snow Coconut & Coffee Porter: Last Snow is an ode to that special time in Florida where the needle dips just south of 75 – even for the briefest of moments. This rich, creamy porter is layered with coconut and freshly-roasted coffee for a taste that recalls a winter wonderland – even if, in our state, that’s just a state of mind. 6.3% ABV (only available in 12oz pour)
