- Actias Prime Hazy Triple IPA (9.6% ABV): A heavyweight hazy featuring a cutting-edge hop bill of Strata, Strata CGX Nuvo, and un-kilned whole cones flash-frozen at harvest. This unique process delivers an incredibly “green” and vibrant profile. Expect a massive aromatic punch of fresh strawberry, passionfruit, and pungent resin. It carries a dense, silky mouthfeel that masks its potency with a bright, herbaceous finish.
- Ghost in the Machine Hazy DIPA (8% ABV): The “Gold Standard” of Citra IPAs. This beer is an absolute explosion of grapefruit, tangerine peel, and lime zest. It is widely celebrated for its intense tropical juiciness and a soft, pillowy texture that defines the New England style.

- Mezi Czech-Style Amber Lager (5% ABV): A traditional Polotmavý that strikes a perfect balance. It leads with a toasty, bread-crust maltiness and subtle caramel notes, finished with a clean, floral noble hop snap.
- Lightbeam Hazy IPA (6.3% ABV): A bright and approachable hazy brewed with Citra and Simcoe. The aroma is heavy on sweet orange and tropical mango, supported by a light, doughy malt base and a soft, easy-drinking finish.
- Peach Cut Berliner Weisse (4.5% ABV): A tart and effervescent wheat ale fruited heavily with peach. It delivers a vibrant, sun-ripened peach flavor with a crisp, puckering acidity that makes it exceptionally crushable.
