Home and Dry

Tap to rate

Home and Dry is the hazy pale ale in the year-round range, sold in 440 ml cans. It is hopped with Idaho 7, Krush and the experimental variety HBC 630. Tropical fruit sets the tone, led by mango and papaya with a touch of pineapple and some lime; the mouthfeel is soft and the finish dry. The name points to housing after prison: fewer than half of those released find a settled home. In 2025 the beer won bronze in the session pale ale class of the regional SIBA bottle and can awards for the South East.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with bright tropical fruit—mango and papaya dominate, supported by pineapple and a zesty lime lift. The hop character is clean and fruit-forward without grassy or herbal edges. Beneath the fruit lies a subtle, neutral malt base that does not intrude.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and approachable, with the same mango and papaya notes from the aroma translating to flavor without bitterness. Mid-palate remains creamy and unobstructed, allowing the tropical fruit and light lime character to develop. Bitterness is restrained and integrated, finishing clean and dry without any harsh edges.
