Tavour is an app that connects craft beer lovers with rare and hard-to-find beers from across the country.
And as an online craft beer retailer the company does offer some strange brews. Beers with uber-bizarre ingredients. Beers that owe more to bakeries or delis than breweries. Beers that have a sense of humor. Beer that challenge the norm…

Evil Twin Midtown Dew – Evil Twin Brewing NYC (Ridgewood, NY)
In 2019, famed gypsy brewer Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø, along with his wife and business partner, Maria has opened their very first permanent brewery and taproom in Queens. Evil Twin Brewing NYC features a 15-barrel state-of-the-art experimental brewery that not afraid to take chances….
This from Tavour…
“The first time we saw this Shrek-colored brew, we said it’s made of “the very same glowing ooze that turned 4 ordinary baby turtles into the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Probably…. It’s actually made of real Mountain Dew syrup, which may or may not have the power to mutate.”
