BEER & CIDER - Beer Bottles & Cans

Alchemist 'Focal Banger'

(16oz Can) 7 % ABV Unfiltered, unpasteurized, super dank. Citrus, tropical. Balanced and very drinkable. All Citra and Mosaic hops.

US$9.00

Alchemist 'Heady Topper'

(16oz Can) 8% ABV Heady Topper is not intended to be the strongest or most bitter DIPA. It is brewed to give you wave after wave of hop flavor without any astringent bitterness.

There is just enough malt to give this beer some backbone, but not enough to take the hops away from the center stage.

US$9.00
