We’re excited to announce that our apprentice Kate Wallace is graduating! Her beer is named Jasmine, a Belgian style ale infused with jasmine flowers. This rich red ale offers a nuanced spiciness with a smooth medium bodied malt backbone and a dry finish.
We’ll be celebrating with Kate on Friday, February 17 from 6-8 p.m. with another Apprentice Open House. Hope you can join us as we congratulate Kate on a job well done.
