Following up on the delicious fun we’ve had brewing and sharing Requiem for a Pancake, One Love – Imperial Stout Aged in Jamaican Rum Barrels, Rye on Rye on Rye on Rye, Allegro Non Troppo, Paw Paw’s Got a Brand New Bag and Messenger in a Bottle, our previous Brewhouse One Series releases, we’re excited to announce that it’s almost time to share another new, special beer with you, our friends and neighbors!

Inspired by a crazy delicious coconut pecan pie, our brewers sought to marry rich coconut, toasted pecan and complex chocolate notes with a sticky, slightly boozy imperial stout to create Good L'Oven.

Thelma’s Kitchen is a gathering place, where everyone is welcome.
