7/1 | Founders Detroit Double IPA
Double IPA | 8.9% ABV
Pushing tropical aromatics such as mango and pineapple to the edge of pungent, Detroit Double IPA raises the bar to what consumers expect in this beloved hoppy style. Healthy portions of American adjuncts, as well as lightly kilned crystal malts, contribute a slight sweetness as well as provide a delicate backbone to showcase the dank resinous hop oils within. Detroit Double IPA pours a light orange accompanied by a white frothy head that bursts with hop aromatics. This beer drinks smooth and finishes crisp with a piney bitterness. 8.9% ABV.
Available in 12oz bottles and on draft
7/1 | Founders' Marvelroast
Golden Ale | 8% ABV
Take in the wonder that is the marvelous – ahem – “marvelroast” new addition to our coffee beer lineup. We started with an imperial golden ale and brewed it with coffee, vanilla and cocoa nibs. But it doesn’t end there, folks. Milk sugar added during the brewing process lends a smooth and sweet finish, making this a delicious treat reminiscent of your favorite iced coffee drink.

7/4 | Ecliptic Brewing Hoku-lele Tiki-Inspired Tropical Ale

Taking its name after a shooting star in Hawaiian, Hoku-lele Tiki-Inspired Tropical Ale was a beer that the brew team at Ecliptic has a lot of fun in developing the recipe. Hoku-lele Tiki-Inspired Tropical Ale uses Sabro, Azacca, and Mosaic hops that are dosed with the tropical essence of pineapple, passionfruit, guava, coconut, almond and macadamia nut, along with a dash of cinnamon. This tropical themed summer beer sits at 8% ABV and 16 IBUs.

7/7 | Hi-Wire Lifeboat Golden Lager
Lager | 5.5% ABV
In a collaborative effort with Asheville neighbor Zillicoah Beer Company, Hi-Wire Brewing conceived a decocted lager to unlock the full spectrum of malt flavors resulting in a crisp, clean, “ocean-worthy glugger” to assist in navigating these wild times. Lifeboat Golden Lager (5.5%) pairs well with excellent sunshine and friendship from a distance.
Available in 16oz cans
7/10 | Sour Smoothie Very Berry
Tart Wheat Ale | 5.5% ABV
The fourth edition in Hi-Wire’s Sour Smoothie Series received a ridiculous amount of raspberry, blackberry, and blueberry to create an over-the-top fruited sour beer with a balanced sourness and refreshing finish.
