Youโ€™ve seen them behind the bar. Youโ€™ve followed viral sensation on Instagram. But inquiring minds want to know: Who exactly are Tia and Mollie? Letโ€™s get to know the dynamic duo!

Tia signed to Team Ocelot at the start of the summer and just recently came on full timeโ€ฆ but it already feels like sheโ€™s been here for many moons. Sheโ€™s a proud alumna of Sarah Lawrence College, where she majored in music. If she ever needs to pen a doctoral thesis, the subject will likely be Laundry Day, the NYC quartet for whom she stans. In her free time, Tia makes music in her own band and mothers three cats. Her favorite Ocelot beverage is ONE hard seltzer โ€” and sheโ€™ll hear none of your judgement for this.

Born and raised locally, Mollie has been coming to the brewery with her dad and uncle since she was a mere adolescent. (Ocelot is for the kids!) The proud Belieber loves hiking, golfing, and most anything else outdoors, though these days sheโ€™s often stuck in classrooms at George Mason University, where sheโ€™s studying psychology and education. Mollieโ€™s furry friend is a dog named Sadie, and her post-shift beer is likely to be something light. Polvo Pils or Blowinโ€™ Up perhaps?

They donโ€™t want to make small talk. They just want to be left alone. Alas, we travelled to Philly to see Kiwi Jr. and bring them a case of our collab Blowinโ€™ Upโ€ฆ so they had to take some photos.

For more patient fans of world-class indie rock, the band visits Pearl Street Warehouse on Saturday, January 9. Our hoppy lager, meanwhile, is available at the brewery now.

Throw the tape deck into the pool. Weโ€™ve lit the fuse on Blowinโ€™ Up, an explosively hoppy pilsner carefully assembled with Kiwi Jr. This collaboration lager accompanies the arrival of the Toronto quartetโ€™s long-awaited fourth LP โ€” and first for storied Krecs โ€” ๐˜‰๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ๐˜ช๐˜ฏโ€™ ๐˜œ๐˜ฑ.

With three full lengths in less than four years, Kiwi Jr. spent the beginning of the decade quickly and firmly establishing itself as a leading purveyor of whip-smart, whirling indie rock. But the band travelled a circuitous path to ๐˜‰๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ๐˜ช๐˜ฏโ€™ ๐˜œ๐˜ฑ, workshopping songs for months on end, refining and editing ideas over years, then finally recording them live with producer Graham Walsh at Detroitโ€™s High Bias in early 2025. The resulting album is sprawling in sound and scope โ€” a collection of ten songs that feels classically Kiwi Jr. while also expanding our conception of what that means.

Blowinโ€™ Up (the beer) is similarly a testament to patient resolve. Brewed in June utilizing entirely premium Weyermann barleyโ€” primarily the German institutionโ€™s subtle pilsner malt, with a dash of its Barke Vienna for a lightly golden hue โ€” the lager was given a generous two months of tank time to mature. Chinook hops were employed several times during the boil, imbuing the beer with a piney essence that nods to the Canadian IPAs that sustained the band in its earliest days. The 4.8% lagerโ€™s dry hop, meanwhile, is โ€œPure Michiganโ€: Cascade and Saaz, both grown in the glacier-swept soil of the Great Lakes State and combining here to form a bouquet of grapefruit peel, noble spice, resin, and more pine. Thereโ€™s a firm bitterness to Blowinโ€™ Up, too. Think of it as our tribute to singer-guitarist Jeremy Gaudetโ€™s oft-biting commentary on modernityโ€™s hijinks.

The canโ€™s greyscale-and-red label features a rendering of the TNT-emblazoned bass drum that eagle eyes can spot in Laura Lynn Petrickโ€™s photography for the cover of ๐˜‰๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ๐˜ช๐˜ฏโ€™ ๐˜œ๐˜ฑ, in addition to various singles. Handle accordingly.

To paraphrase Gaudet: It was good luck brought us somewhere, so good luck, goodbye, and amen.

Our first release this week is whispered and spoken. Itโ€™s the second entry in our ๐˜š๐˜ฑ๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ต ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜Œ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ tetralogy. Itโ€™s Desire....

Our first release this week is whispered and spoken. Itโ€™s the second entry in our ๐˜š๐˜ฑ๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ต ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜Œ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ tetralogy. Itโ€™s Desire.

A unique 6.5% ale, Desire is conjured from the union of amazake โ€” a โ€œwortโ€ made from koji-inoculated rice historically used in the production of Japanese sake โ€” and a traditional barley wort. This blend is then fermented with our house Belgian yeast strain, resulting in a tart, citrusy, and utterly refreshing beer.

To accentuate Desireโ€™s underlying citrusy qualities, we added Motueka during boil and whirlpool, setting the stage for the New Zealand hop to harmonize with its unmistakable medley of tropical lime and slight herbaceousness.

Itโ€™s perhaps the perfect liquid for those content to relax.

Thereโ€™s a fresh face on the brewdeck. Meet Jon Blake. Heโ€™s new here. Will you show him around?

Jon took over the production reins this summer, becoming our third ever head brewer. Heโ€™s a homegrown talent โ€” the pride of Falls Church and a ten-year veteran of Merrifieldโ€™s Sweetwater Tavern. If you couldnโ€™t tell from our ongoing ๐˜š๐˜ฑ๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ต ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜Œ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ series, he harbors a soft spot for timeless Belgian ales. And also sparkling white wine! But we wonโ€™t hold that against him because his IPAs slap. Heโ€™s a bit of a polyglot musically, as likely to cue up jazz as Chat Pile as Slowdive on the taproom sound system. So, he fits right in.

If you havenโ€™t had a chance to chat with Jon yet, join us the afternoon of Sunday, August 23, to share a beer and pick his brain about whatโ€™s in store at Ocelot. He and his fiancรฉ have a cat named Cheese, so maybe a Cheese IPA ร  la Sim?!

Speaking of Jack, we would be derelict to not thank him here for his endless creativity, thoughtful stewardship, and unwavering friendship over the last decade and change. We canโ€™t wait to sip what he brews up next.
