Ch'Ti Blonde

Ch'Ti Blonde hits you with that distinctive Belgian yeast spice right away—clove and banana notes that linger on the back of your palate. There's a honeyed sweetness underneath that keeps it from feeling dry, and the carbonation is lively without being aggressive. It's the kind of beer that tastes different in the first sip versus the fifth, as your palate adjusts. The 6.4% ABV sits comfortably in the middle—strong enough to feel substantial, not so high that it weighs you down.

Sleeman Original Draught

Sleeman Original is what mass-market North American lager does when it's done right: crisp, clean, almost clinically balanced. There's barely any hop character to speak of (that 22 IBU is mostly in the background), so what you're left with is grain, subtle corn sweetness, and a dry finish that makes you want another sip immediately. It's refreshing in the truest sense—the kind of beer that disappears on a warm afternoon without demanding anything from you.
