HOP RUB TIME 🍻

We’re partnering with for third year in a row to bring you an exclusive Square Roots hopfenlager, and we couldn’t be more excited!! A few of us from the and teamed up with the incredible Dovetail brewmasters to sample an array of hops for this years brew. Now, we can’t give too much away, but let’s just say this beer is in fantastic hoppy hands 😎

The Square Roots hopfenlager has been so popular over the past couple of years that it’s sold out long before the fest is over! You’re definitely going to want to get in line early this year, and we can’t wait to share it with you 🍻

Best part of the summer so far?? Obviously sipping on an ice cold Square Roots hopfelager from at our favorite summer festival 🍻

We couldn’t have asked for a better collaborator than Dovetail in making our exclusive Square Roots brew. From the hop rub back in May with and to the first keg tap in July all the way through Square Roots weekend, the process is a labor of love that we appreciate SO much! Plus, you can’t go wrong with any of the rest of their unbeatable beers on a hot festival day.

Thank you endlessly to the folks at Dovetail for making the season more refreshing for us all! As the weather begins to cool down, you best believe we’re already thinking about next year’s brew 🫡

Thank you so much to all of the volunteers who made the weekend such a success!!! ♥️
