If you're decidedly ready for this special release jelly, get to scrolling, friends:

REALITY MAZE: BANANA COCONUT CREAM PIE EDITION
We treated this hefty imperial stout to a bevy of our finest adjuncts, loading it up with beyond-liberal amounts of coconut, Madagascar vanilla, and wild Thai bananas. It’s a wildly successful confluence of decadent dessert flavors that’s virtually guaranteed to set the palate ablaze with pleasure.
ABV: 12%
Format: 22oz Bottle
Price: $19.50
Total Quantity: 3,776
Bottle Limit: 3

STENCIL CREW DIPA
The third edition of this beloved 8.5% hazy DIPA is loaded with staggering quantities of Simcoe, Citra, and Amarillo hops for an outrageously juicy profile replete with tropical fruit, citrus, and liquid goodwill.
ABV: 8.5%
Format: 4-Pack of 16oz Cans
Price: $21.50
Total Quantity: 3,000
4-Pack Limit: 18

FOEDER TENTBIER (COLLAB W/ HEATER ALLEN)
Originally conceived with our friends at Heater Allen, this Festbier was wildly tasty in its own right—as anyone who’s had the OG version can confirm. This go-round, we escalated the radness even further with a 3.5 month stay in medium-toast American oak foeders, which added some lovely oak & vanilla notes to the already-stellar profile of honeysuckle, allspice, & biscuit. It’s both enchantingly complex and utterly refreshing, and we’re pretty frickin’ stoked about it.
ABV: 5%
Format: Single 19.2oz Can
Price: $4.25
Total Quantity: 2,750
Can Limit: 24

POLY RYTHMO W/ TETTNANG
Prepare to experience critical levels of refreshment. We brewed this Italian-style pils with Weyermann's Bohemian Pilsner malt and a sprinkling of Carafoam before hopping with some lovely German Tettnang hops and lagering at 32 degrees. The end result is both insanely quaffable and delightfully complex, with notes of biscuit, orange peel, black tea, and fresh floral undertones. We’re pretty hyped on it; here’s hoping you are, too.
ABV: 5.1%
Format: 4-Pack of 16oz Cans
Price: $13
Total Quantity: 1,700
4-Pack Limit: 18

DREAM POP W/ BLACKBERRY, PEACH, & VANILLA
We began this utterly exquisite 7.8% IPA with massive amounts of Mosaic, Rakau, and Simcoe hops, followed by a generous helping of vanilla. Finally, just to be ridiculous, we added huge quantities (understatement) of blackberries and peaches to create a creamy, indulgent spectacle of liquid fruit cobbler magic.
ABV: 7.8%
Format: 4-Pack of 16oz Cans
Price: $23.75
Total Quantity: 1,700
4-Pack Limit: 18

DIVERGENT PATHS DIPA (COLLAB W/ BURGEON)
We circled up with the excellent folks at Burgeon Brewing to throw down this totally excellent DIPA. Built on a simple grain bill of pilsner malt, white wheat, and flaked wheat, this beer was hopped with over 3lbs per barrel of Galaxy & Strata. The finished beer sports a vibrant bouquet of tropical dankness followed by notes of papaya & pineapple and it's rounded out with a subtle bitterness that brings the whole thing home in an immensely pleasing fashion.
ABV: 8.4%
Format: 4-Pack of 16oz Cans
Price: $21.50
Total Quantity: 3,800
4-Pack Limit: 18
