Dongbei IPA

ABV 8.0%
Pale Ale
Hop level
Color

A hazy and intensely dry-hopped Northeast-style IPA. This beer’s all about the fresh, unfiltered aroma, so pull it in close and drown your nose in a juicy spill of tangerine, peach, guava, and mango. With a pillowy-soft mouthfeel and light bitterness, this beer goes down surprisingly easy for a hop-bomb.

Slacker

ABV 0.5%
IPA
Hop level
Color

A laid-back low-alcohol beer with all of the hops and none of the hangover. In Chinese, “touching fish” refers to stealthy, tactical slacking off on the job. Just like this deceptive 0.5% sipper that feels like a busy hazy IPA, complete with juicy tropical fruit aromas. A few pints deep, and you can still get right back to work. Or to slacking.

IPA
Hop level
Color

Our unfiltered tribute to the city we know and love and to the people who, whether it’s a blue-sky day or a no-sky day, make it so great. A mix of specialty malts lends a rich mouthfeel that helps carry dank flavors of pine resin, grapefruit, and peach, closing out with a dry finish.

Jingdao

ABV 5.0%
Pilsner
Hop level
Color

This is A’s return to the roots – paying our dues by settling the pils. Jingdao is a classic old-school Bohemian-style pilsner, refreshing and supremely drinkable. 100% German malts provide toasty richness, while Czech Saaz hops bring rounded hop flavors and a crisp, clean finish.
