RARE FORM MOXIE
On tap at Growler & Gill, briskly easygoing butterscotch-hazed Imperial India Pale Ale lets dry-hopped Mosaic varietal bring sharp lemony grapefruit-pineapple tang to the surface alongside wood-toned vodka ethers.

MAGNIFY FLAVOR WAIVER
On tap at Ambulance, perplexing ‘triple IPA’ utilizes subtle lychee puree to create dryer Simcoe-hopped profile for strangely calming 11.5% ABV booze bomb.

LAGUNITAS SAKITUMI ALE WITH SAKE YEAST AND RICE
On tap at Ambulance, uniquely hybridized IPA (with unobtrusive 8% ABV) utilizes dry rice-wined sake yeast to influence raw-honeyed orange oiling and wispy grapefruit-tangerine tang. Sweet bread flouring anchors enigmatic Japanese-wined medium body.
PIPEWORKS/ TIRED HANDS MARILIME LAW NINJA DOUBLE INDIA PALE ALE
