Hive Beer

Swarm (noun) - a body of honeybees that emigrate from a hive and fly off together, accompanied by a queen, to start a new colony.

At some point later this year, we'll be calling it a wrap down in Westerly. We've been super fortunate to call Grey Sail our home for the last 4+ years and are forever grateful to them for helping us get started, but new plans on both sides have necessitated a change. What that looks like for us is very much a work in progress right now, but we're excited about new possibilities.

As the last 'new' beer we're releasing from Grey Sail before finding a new home, Swarm felt like the perfect brand. It's a hazy, soft and bright pale ale, generously hopped with one of our favorite hop blends: Nelson Sauvin, Citra and Riwaka. Just think of the most harmonious combination of tropical fruits, citrus and dank, but better yet, try it for yourself.

This isn't our last brew in Westerly. We've got an old favorite or two left to come, but you're not gonna wanna miss out on Swarm. All cans are down at the brewery, so get yourselves to Westerly!

Remember Pils Prty? It’s back—this time featuring Zumo.

Heard of Zumo yet? It's a new American hop variety that's been popping up, seemingly always in single-hopped beers 🤔. Enticed by its advertised lime-bomb characteristics, we figured let's give it a shot!

Built on a classic Pilsner backbone, this West Coast variant gets a hefty dry hop charge and brings bright citrus aromatics layered over lean domestic pilsner malt, with bitter and zesty lime and grapefruit pith up front and a dry, herbal and clean finish.

Still sharp and 4.7%, it's proving to be a great warm weather buddy. Cans are ready to go and it's freshly tapped down at !

We're all gonna be sweatin' our ears off next week, as the saying goes. Fortunately, Salsa (our Mexican-style Lager 🌽🇲🇽) has been proven to be the most effective way to rehydrate in the summer heat and we're stocked up down in Westerly for ya. And to our bar & restaurant friends, has a handful of kegs ready for you too!

Together at last 👾! Fresh Nazzling (Pale Ale) and his fully evolved form, The Nazz (DIPA) canned up just in time for the holidays. It's like a Pokémon thing. Both are driven and inspired by the nostalgia of classic American flavors featuring some oldie but goodie hops like Simcoe, Chinook, Columbus, etc. As always, our focus is on making these as deliciously drinkable as we can. Grab them while they're hot!

A new beer! We made a "house lager" without really having a house of our own quite yet, so we're calling it a "Studio Lager". For fun. It's called Self-Titled.
🐝
Pretty much a straight up BEER with beer flavors. It's built with a mix of heirloom Barke Pilsner and Vienna malts from good ol' Deutschland, a hop combo of Saaz and NZ Wakatu, and then here's the neat part: We naturally carbonated the beer with 2lbs/barrel of honey from URI East Farm 🤯!
🍯
If you're new or haven't been paying attention, East Farm is home to the Bee Lab which we support with 1% of our gross sales.
🍺
This beer looks, smells and tastes like a beer, but the honey adds a definite subtle sweetness upfront with an earthy character as well.
