MILES ON THE 90
WEST COST-STYLE IPA
Miles on the 90 is inspired by the inevitable part of any New York State road trip, when the music becomes background noise and the scenery fades away into a passing blur of endless fields and muted colors, and all we can think about is how good that first beer will taste when we finally get to where we’re going. This West Coast-style IPA, brewed with Mosaic and Talus hops, and brimming with grapefruit flavor and clean, refreshing bitterness, won’t let you down.

WNY ECLIPSE
BLACK IPA
This beer was brewed for the total solar eclipse that will occur over the skies of Western New York on April 8, 2024. This event is so special, and so rare (the next total solar eclipse won’t happen over WNY until 2144!) that we wanted to brew a special beer to highlight and celebrate its significance.
We thought this black IPA, which balances powerful orange, grapefruit, and pine hop flavors with complex roasted and toasted malt flavors, would be appropriate for this unforgettable occasion. To enjoy this beer fully, crack open a can moments before the celestial event, place the included solar viewing glasses over your eyes, and enjoy the total eclipse experience.

DOUBLE IPA
