Prepare for hyperspace! Join us on Thursday, May 2nd, as we drop Crabmiral Ackbar and Fuzzy Tauntaun, kicking off the start of our Star Wars Day and Crabby-Con festivities. Let the force of flavor be with you as we countdown to an epic weekend!

It’s a hop trap! Dive into the depths of our Crabmiral Ackbar, a dank and hazy New England Double IPA. Brewed with a formidable armada of fruity hops including Mosaic Incognito, Enigma, and YQH-1320, this brew delivers a super-saturated blast of tropical flavors. At 8%, remember to enjoy this galactic conquest responsibly—may the haze be with you!

Prepare for a flavor adventure with the Fuzzy Tauntaun, a sweet and fruity Imperial Sour that’s as legendary as its icy namesake. Brewed with a bounty of tangy tangerine and fruity peach purees, and a hint of lactose for that sweet edge, this sour is a true taste of the tropics from a galaxy far, far away. At 7.5%, sip this celestial concoction responsibly and let the force guide your taste buds!

We are working on a massive project here at The Beer Thrillers. We are creating a map of all of the breweries across the United States. State by state we are adding maps of all of the different states with every brewery in each state. (We will eventually get to the US Territories, as well as the Canadian Provinces, and possibly more countries; as well as doing some fun maps like a map of all the breweries we’ve been to, and other fun maps.) You can find the brewery maps here:
