Beer: Hawaiian Honey Lager (5.6% ABV)

Availability: Draft, Growler Fills and 4-Pack Cans ($18)

Description: This Lunar New Year lager collaboration with Halcyon Brewing blends orange blossom honey from Wao Kele Honey and a hint of orange zest into our American-style lager to create a deliciously crispy, crushable beer with notes of floral honey sweetness, juicy citrus, and toasted corn cereal.

Beer: 2022 Double Happiness: Five-Spice Vanilla Imperial Stout (12% ABV)

Availability: Draft and Single 16oz Cans ($12)

Description: Our 2022 Double Happiness blends double barrel-aged Imperial Stout from Copperworks Whiskey and Westland Whiskey barrels with real vanilla bean and five-spice powder. Traditional Chinese five-spice represents the five elements and brings a soul-warming spiciness to complement our Imperial Stout’s deep notes of caramel, cocoa powder, and boozy toasted oak.

Beer: Lychee Thai Basil Sour (5.7% ABV)

Availability: Limited Draft-Only

Description: In this Lunar New Year Tasting Room exclusive release, our delicious golden kettle sour ale meets the mouth-watering floral sweetness of lychee paired with bold Thai basil. This culturally inspired flavor pairing results in aromas and tasting notes of rose, pear, and a hint of licorice.

Beer: Mijiaya Historic Chinese Beer (5.6% ABV)

Availability: Limited Draft-Only

Description: Named after the 5,000 year-old Mijiaya archaeological site in Shaanxi, Northern China. We brewed this special Chinese New Year release based on the starch and grains found in various brewing vessels excavated from the dig site. Brewed with barley, Job’s tears, millet, Chinese squash, lily flowers, and yam, the resulting beer is flowery, light, and clean.
