Brewed by Ryan and his wife Stephanie to celebrate the life of their dog, Calli. Schwarzbier, or "black beer", drinks more like a pilsner than a stout, despite its color. Brewed with Minnesota wild rice, there's a touch of earthiness, nuttiness, and bittersweet chocolate. Join us in raising a middle finger to cancer, and raising a glass to those taken too soon!

A right proper pint, innit? Using 100% malt, hops, and yeast from the UK, expect notes off toffee and caramel, as well as earthy florals from the hops. Easy-drinking at 3.7%, you can have a guilt-free pint...or three. Abv - 3.7 ibu - 26.0
