Smooth and dark, this English-style porter provides a rich, malty backbone and creamy mouthfeel. Balanced with moderate bitterness and kissed with coconut for a subtle roasty sweetness. Our name for this beer is a combination of the Portuguese and Spanish for "ghost," or "scarecrow," likely referencing the face-like appearance of the husk's three germinating pores; and the fact that during WWII, medics in the Pacific theatre purportedly used coconut water as a replacement for scant supplies of blood plasma.

Maibock - 7% ABV
A classic German Maibock, this clean, crisp lager carries a rich malty backbone balanced by subtle floral notes from noble hops.it’s smooth, slightly sweet, and dangerously easy-drinking for its strength.
