Morel Pottery This Friday!!!

You know her! You love her! Fan favorite Heidi Morel of Morel Pottery will be here with a fresh drop of ceramics this Friday, December 6 for First Friday! Heidi’s ceramics are wildly popular and feature a multitude of hand-painted, Alaska-inspired images. Doors open at 3PM, so get here early for first dibs of Heidi’s new works! Gonna miss First Friday? Eh, no worries. Heid will restock throughout the month, and we’ll have her work up through the new year!
New Tees with Fresh Colors
Ooh, check out those new colors! Swing by our taproom to check out our latest merch drop, scope restocks and grab a couple of things out of our Last Chance Basket (all basket items 20% off)! Even better? We’ve got more new merch on the way! Stay tuned!
New items will be added to our online store soon, and existing items are available for order HERE.

Velvet Antler Has Returned

After a two-year hibernation, Velvet Antler Baltic Porter has returned to our taps! Robust without being too heavy, this beer is an ideal wintertime sipper. Roasty, with just a hint of chocolate and weighing in at 7.4% ABV, this beer is just as perfect next to a bonfire as it is with a rich holiday meal. Enjoy it on tap at our taproom or grab a 4-pack to-go today!
