A NEW SELTZER (and semi-newish beer) HAS DROPPED!!!
This summer has been a scorcher so far and one of the few things that has consistently cooled of our glassblowers is Red Panda Grocery ‘s pickle lemonade! So we got together and decided to make a deliciously tart and thirst-quenching seltzer using a boatload of pickle juice and a mountain of lemonade mix!
Last but certainly not least we have the Imperial Sultry, a cousin to the fruited blonde we’ve made the past 5 years to celebrate Rhinestone Fest (aka Dolly Week).
This high gravity variant was fruited using black currant and steeped with hibiscus flowers to create a beer as beautiful as it is tasty!

The dogs days of summer are upon us and there’s not better way to beat the heat than with an ice cold beer!
We’ve been really enjoying the Jimothy as of late, a juicy IPA named after the internet famous scamp that captured our hearts earlier this summer.
Bursting with citrus notes this beer truly taste like summer.

Damn, this one hurts! Dolly was canonized as the Patron Saint of East TN long before today. Her impact has been wide, deep and overwhelmingly positive. As a parent of two kids born in East TN, it melted my heart when we started getting FREE and great quality books from imagination library aka Dolly. Wonderful books, great illustrations and messages of kindness/inclusivity.

For the last five years, each year, I have drawn my version of Dolly as a different patron saint. Patron Saint of Kindness, Patron Sheriff of Equality, Angel Dolly ala Bernini, and Angel Dolly ala Renaissance. Halos, mandalas, all things celebratory. There’s probably 300+ hours of work in that series and I never tired of dreaming up ways to represent her impact. These drawings are for Rhinestone Fest, where all the businesses in the Old City celebrates all things Dolly! And damnit, it’s one of the best weekends of the year. Everyone’s happy, everyone’s nice, it’s just amazing.
I know this hits hard on everyone. Not just East TN. Not just the south, not just America, it’s the world’s loss. RIP Dolly. If every community had just one Dolly in it, the world would be a beautiful place. So let’s try to bring a little Dolly to our neighborhoods.

Also, f*c…buncha broken hearts over here 💔

*NEW BEER DROP*

There’s an old saying in Tennessee - I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, “The only was to beat the heat is with a wheat.” So that’s just what we did!
Meet the Hoppy Wheat, a refreshing wheat ale that’s been dry hopped to perfection! Featuring notes of lime, white wine, and tangerine the Hoppy Wheat just might be what it takes to make it through this heat wave y’all so come on down.
