Food Pairings: Our Unconventional Buffalo Wings or Buffalo Cauliflower are worthy matches, as is the Chorizo heavy Border Burger. Shrimp and Grits with New Orleans Red Gravy is a delight, and Decisiveness would delight with most any dessert.

About the Ale: Largely because of the pandemic, we haven't brewed a Double IPA in almost a year and a half. As the world inches towards normalcy, Batch #2222 presented a golden opportunity. We added British crystal malt to plenty of British Lager malt and American oats to give this beer body and mouthfeel, and generously dosed it with American Citra, Columbus, Mosaic and Sabro hops for a complex fruit flavor and aroma. Notes of tropical citrus, pineapple, and coconut, and subtle stone fruit, melon and berries jump out of the glass. British Crystal Malt gives Decisiveness a sweet counterpunch to the perfume-like abundance of fragrant hops. Deceptively smooth and easy drinkability makes this beer a dangerous (but rewarding) decision.
