When a day of adventure calls for a portable legend or an afternoon of relaxing poolside or hammock-happy, get loose and drink the Moose.

ROADHOUSE MOUNTAIN JAM RAILROAD EARTH

Roadhouse Brewing Co.’s series of musically-inspired brews chose Bluegrass this summer with an Americana dynamo, Railroad Earth. As Roadhouse Brewmaster, Max Shafer describes, “The best way I can describe this beer is tropical fruit punch—red fruits, mango, and papaya. Subtle hints of strawberry and coconut but not in an overpowering synthetic sun tan lotion way—shine through along with a bit of passionfruit.” The result is delicious and flavorful and a tribute to what it means to Live Deep. Share this special edition Hazy IPA with those who love any combination of music, summer, and beer!
