Imperial IPA

At a glance it wouldn't appear that two bodies of water separated by more than two thousand miles would have much in common. But the Columbia River which snakes itself through Oregon and the sprawling great lake Erie whose waters are shared by Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York, have at least one very big thing in common...

Bat Boy Black Lager

On June 23rd, 1992 the Weekly World News released what would become one of its most famous issues to date. The headline read simply, "Bat Child Found in Cave".  Although only two pages were dedicated to the discovery, the world was taken by this boyish bat like creature and over the next 15 years he would appear in 97 issues of the publication, which chronicled his adventures. From being a prisoner of the U.S. Government to assisting in the capture of Saddam Hussein (for which he earned a bronze star) to claiming marriage to Britney Spears, Bat Boy's legacy burns on.

Don't let its adorable appearance fool you, the Jackalope is one of the most legendary and ornery creatures in all of America. Pint sized but full of aggression, this fearsome critter has terrorized the great plains and the American southwest for more than a century. With a taste for whiskey and beer and a knack for fighting it's best to leave this bugger alone if one ever crosses your path...

Mothman
Black IPA

Built in 1928 the Silver Bridge connected Point Pleasant, West Virginia, to Gallipolis, Ohio until its collapse in 1967. The demise of the famed suspension bridge was tragic but the thirteen months leading up to the disaster paint a more sinister picture. One that is filled with odd happenings, other worldly visitors, men in black and the creature that would come to be known as the Mothman...

Have you been impish or admirable this year? Think hard. Because there are consequences to that question. If, at the end of the year, you can look back and say you've been admirable then St. Nicholas will reward you with treats and gifts. But, if you've been impish It won't be St. Nick who visits you...
