The Garage will release a trio of Imperial Stouts on Saturday, December 16

If you have been to the Garage in the past two months, you may have tried one or all of our decadent Situational Ethics variants:

• Cinnamon Vanilla Maple Bourbon Barrel
• Coconut Vanilla Rum Barrel
• Coffee Vanilla Bourbon Barrel

We no longer have these beers available on draft but will be releasing them in bottles for the first time ever on Saturday, December 16 at 5pm in the taproom. 500ml bottles will be $12 each.

Space Lettuce blasts off this Saturday

Our West Midtown taproom is launching Space Lettuce tomorrow from 12pm-4pm. Our Creative Brewer Josh Johnson had this to say about Space Lettuce, which launches at West Midtown tomorrow:

“Space lettuce is the result of the continued development of our IPAs. It is triple dry hopped with a blend of Citra, Simcoe, and Mosaic, with a plush malt backbone. The combination of the two creates a beer that possesses room-filling aromatics and a slightly sweet honey finish.”

Basically, it drinks real good. Dress in a space-themed costume for $1 off your Space Lettuce pints, and make sure to take home a 4-pack (while supplies last).
