I have had a few beers from this brewery and so far I have liked all of them.    Let’s start with the can–sophisticated, sleek, regal… It makes you want to jump up and hit a sign… any sign… taking advantage of the male gene for sign-hitting.  Right from the beginning, the florals are there followed by a blast of citrus with the hops goose-stepping through like a north Korea military parade while the 6.6% ABV creeps up on you like the dear leader himself, tapping you on the shoulder and presenting you with a stack on 1980’s dvd’s.    This is the kind of beer you bring out to impress a friend, pretending you have refrigerators full of the stuff… right next to the truffles and beluga caviar.. but a shelf up from them.. a pyramid of cans….. of sorts.

THEIR STORY:  It all started with an epic video game marathon back in 2004. Rocking blaze-orange homebrew, we saw the foam rings  down the glass like tiger stripes.  Thousands of batches and tweaks later, the BENGALI still slashes.  Tip it back and let gravity do the work.  Game on!
