🍊🍊SUBVERSIVE SUMMERFEST & GOLDEN LIME L***R RELEASE 🍊🍊

Our beloved GOLDEN LIME L***R releases today, on draft and in cans to go, as part of our kickoff to Summerfest!

This ultra-crushable summer l***r is brewed with 100% New York grown grains, and freshly fruited with Calamansi citrus juice & zest, greenhouse grown in New Jersey by Flavors by Bhumi (and hand juiced and zested by us!). It’s our riff on the classic combo of l***r with lime, using fresh, Northeast grown citrus.

Calamansi—AKA the Philippine Lime or The Golden Lime—is a citrus resembling a small, round lime, with an orange skin and a sour, tangerine-colored juice. A longtime staple of Filipino and Southeast Asian cuisine, the fruit is known to possess a tart flavor that’s reminiscent of a combination of lemon, lime and orange!

GOLDEN LIME L***R is one of our most-beloved summer offerings by staff and customers alike, and we only make it once a year—so when it’s gone it’s gone!

In addition to our regular food & drink menu, we’ll be offering the following specials all weekend long or until sold out!

🦞 LOBSTER ROLLS | Maine Lobster served warm on a buttered brioche bun with parsley, chive, celery, mayo & lemon. Served with a side of fries or a house side salad
🌭 SAUSAGE & PEPPERS | Sweet Italian sausage, peppers & onions on a brioche bun. Served with a side of fries or a house side salad.
🍹THE (FROZEN) GOLDEN LIMARITA | Steelbound NY Blanco, Calamansi, Coconut, Agave.

We’ve also got some killer summer jams lined up to keep you grooving!
