Land and Sea Brewery

¢Wit's up Doc? Belgian Style Wheat Ale: A sneeze-inducing white-pepper prominent wheat ale. Have tissues handy.
Pairs well with salty seafood dishes.

¢Glacier Cream Ale, American Cream Ale: This cream ale’s tan head sits atop a cacophony of burnt bread, chocolate
milk, and rotten plums. Low carbonation makes this the perfect choice for a nightcap.

¢ Black Diamond Lager, Black Lager: A lager in a dark, malty disguise. Aroma: graphite.

¢Comexico Hazy Pale Ale, Kveik Hazy IPA: A tropical escapade for the palate starting from its aroma to its tasting
notes and appearance. Think papaya flesh, papaya flesh, papaya flesh.

Cumberland Brewing

¢ Forest Fog, Unfiltered American
Wheat Ale: A water-like, sulfur
aroma arouses the senses and
perfectly matches the wheat ale’s
water-like, earthy flavour profile;
an explosion of hydration for the
senses.

e Just a Little Bitter, English Bitter:
Vermouth-like character provides
a refined and full-flavored beer.
Bitter enough to help digestion,
but perhaps a little too bitter to
enjoy an entire pint; inspired from
the West Coast soil.
