Thursday, May 14: The Big Show 🎪

Doors open at 11:00 AM at both spots as we hit Day 4 of American Craft Beer Week and our 10 Year Anniversary. Today is a massive one. We’ve got a legendary collab returning, a complex foeder-aged sour, and live music from the one and only MoonCats!

🎪 The Main Event
Pickled Nordern Release 🥒
We teamed up with the rad crew from MoonCats to bring back this fan favorite named after a song from their vast repertoire . This is a 5.2% abv Dill Pickle Lager fermented with tangy pickles because it sounded good and tastes even better. It’s crisp, salty, and exactly what you want when the sun is out. 🍺
Drops Of Juniper Release 🌿
This is the refined side of the circus for you acid fans. Drops of Juniper is a Foeder Aged Sour that has been developing character in the wood. We hit it with Juniper berries, Honey, and Calamansi to layer botanical gin-like notes over a bright, citrusy acidity. It’s complex, dry, and a testament to what happens when you let beer sit in a giant wooden tank for a while. 🍺

🎡 The Side Shows
We are turning the Rapid City barrel room into a temporary print shop tonight. Bring your own dark hoodies, flannels, tees and onesies and we’ll hit them with one of four different anniversary designs in light ink, all for five bucks.

• 🕚 Doors: Open at 11:00 AM at both locations.
• 👕 Live Screen Printing: Starts in the barrel room at 11:00 AM. $5 to print on your own gear (bring dark colors).
• 🌮 Food: Patas Azules starts slinging at 3:00 PM.
• 🪕 Music: MoonCats (Campfire Folk/Jams) hit the stage at 6:00 PM and Danny will be regaling the crowd with an old school Ventriloquist set during the break. Yes, actually.

Bonus: you know him, you tolerate him, he’s DEFINITELY served you a beer or three, and we are having a community birthday toast for Ryan around 7. He is leaving at the end of the month to Tennessee, so come say goodbye, wish him (and more importantly, us) a happy birthday, and tell him how much you’ll miss him – or how much you already hate him for leaving.

Come through for the pickles, stay for the foeder aged sour and the Cats, and help us celebrate a decade of keeping the Hills weird. 🍻🍺
