  • Light Golden Ale
  • 4.5%

There Was A Time when these twins were sweet and innocent, but now they run with a rough crowd. Complex and well educated with a sailors vocabulary. But you can probably catch them listening to some Guns and Roses… Maybe, or maybe they just really needed a great beer to pair nicely with some tots tossed in truffle oil. If you know, you know. ( this beer is for a couple of regular gals, and their truffle tots…if you know you know)

Some of our favorite Chardonnays come out the Macoonais in southern Burgundy with their pure, unfettered expression of the grape. They can be straight forward while retaining a sort of simple elegance, a quiet energy that can surprise you.

11. Strawberry Mojito

  • Ablis -N/A CBD

Our Strawberry Mojito CBD beverage is the kind of drink that’ll conjure tropical beach vibes. And while we admit we tend to enjoy this one floating along the Deschutes River or feet-up in our backyards, we still get vacation vibes with every minty-sweet sip. Results are in: Ablis Strawberry Mojito is the perfect midweek pick-me-up. (Alcohol not included)
