Petrus Aged Pale

Petrus hits different than you'd expect at 7.3%. There's this woody, almost sherry-like warmth underneath the pale ale backbone, but it never gets aggressive. The sourness is gentle, almost imperceptible at first, then it lingers in the corners of your mouth. Ten IBUs means the bitterness is a whisper—this beer is about texture and time, not punch.

Pignoletto Italian Grape Ale

Pignoletto tastes like someone decided a beer needed to taste like a wine spritzer, and somehow it works. You get white grape skin tannins, a hint of stone fruit, and a crisp finish that feels almost natural. At 6.5% and 15 IBUs, it's built for drinking, not contemplating. It's approachable without feeling dumbed down.
