This Beer Contains Lactose Milk Sugar. My Milkshake brings all the….whoah! Hold the train!!! New England IPA fused with Strawberry and Guava and a touch of vanilla to tie it all together. Call it weird, call it the best thing since you were a little kid at the ice cream shop ordering a frappe. Big Boss Milkshake IPA features a creamy finish as a result of lactose milk sugar leaving a rich and sweet finish complemented by fruit purees and the balancing foundation of New England IPA.

Blackburn Shark Rye Irish Stout pays hommage to our friends from across the pond as we celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day here at the brewery. A blend of roasted malts create layers of chocolate, toffee, and espresso while flaked barley and rye provide a silky mouthfeel with a hint of spice in the dry stout recipe. Come enjoy a pint while it last and have a bit craic!

Guatemala – Finca OnaOná is one of the oldest coffee plantations in Guatemala. It is located in the department of San Marcos, in the bocacosta north of Coatepeque. Oná means “refuge of bees.” This coffee carries the Rainforest Alliance certification, which indicates that the farm is in compliance with rigorous environmental, social, and economic criteria. The Rainforest Alliance certification promotes decent living and working conditions, gender equality, and access to education for children within the farming community.
The coffee is cultivated under shade (Inga), in a volcanic soil, on hillsides with wavy topography, between 2,500 and 4,000 feet above sea level. It is harvested from September to February and its process carefully by hand. The coffee process at Finca Oná is something very special, for Oná it is an art to plant his coffee. The whole process is worked from the seed to the gold coffee that is carefully selected and processed. The varieties that are cultivated are: Arabico Bourbon and Caturra depending on the height in the farm where the planting takes place.
