It’s a whale of an ale! Unicorns are real! On the first Thursday of every month, we raid our cellar and tap one of the most rare, special, or just downright delicious beers we can find. We like to call them Bangerz! Every Banger will be tapped at open, but when it’s gone it’s gone. We will have no regrets. Will you?
This month’s Banger is: Barrel Runner!
Founders Brewing Co. {Grand Rapids, MI}

Rum BA Imperial IPA / 11.1% ABV
This imperial IPA is full of bright, tropical flavors thanks to the huge amount of mosaic hops but also a sweet oak and rum presence. This IPA may or may not be served with a mini umbrella in the glass, come find out!
Nectar, ambrosia, honey-wine, what ever you call it make sure you head to HopCat for National Mead Day! The American Homebrewers Association dubbed the first Saturday of August as National Mead Day! Finally! Evidence of honey fermented beverages have been found dating back thousands of years, ranging from Western Europe to Eastern Asia. For this celebration we’ll have a variety of still, carbonated, high ABV and sessionable meads in an effort to paint the full picture. We’ll even have mead that’s been aged in Angel’s Envy bourbon barrels for 14 months!
