We’ve been exploring Krush in 3 new beers: a Pale, an IPA, and a cask-only Spring Pale.

Same hop, different expressions.
The Pale: papaya, guava and key lime pie.

The IPA: pineapple, stone fruit & green mango.

The Spring Pale keeps things light, bright.

This one’s worth a look.

Haha, good try! This beer didn't follow our usual naming methods.
K.R.A.F.T.L.E.S.S used Chevalier malt and was hopped with Goldings, Columbus, Citra, Simcoe & Amarillo.

The K and R stands for Kernel and Redwillow the A.F.T was left up to popular vote.

Join us at our Spa Road Venue today for our first pouring of the RedWillow Brewery’s 15th anniversary beer: K.R.A.F.T.L.E.S.S
