Saturday is for Simcoe. This hop breathes through Daisy Pale and so much of what we do. Simcoe turns 25 this year – a hefty milestone for an essential part of Half Acre beer. Feels right to raise a glass to this legendary hop today.

Night's coming earlier and crisp air is moving in. WayBird glides through it with a brightness – lush, rounded, a little wild around the edges. A hazy for when things slow down. Reads & Records Book & Vinyl Fair is this Sunday, 11am-5pm, swing through for a bird while you browse.

Ridge Tree looking right. 4.6% Dark Lager with a calm pour and pillowy foam. Roasted malt, a brush of chocolate, a little toast and grain around the edges. Soft, sturdy, and in stores wherever you find Half Acre beer.

Ridge Tree’s pouring fresh, and we’ve got something special to go with it. Order a pint of Ridge Tree in the taproom this week and take home the limited edition 16oz glass it’s served in. $18 gets you both, from today through Sunday, or until the glasses are gone.

Sticky Fat meanders back into frame. A longtime resident of the Half Acre landscape, the StickyFat bear wanders off from time to time, but we’re always glad to welcome him home. From the same fresh hop lot as Jet Harvest, we saved some to brew this one – draft only in the taproom

Today we welcome the return of Orin – a barrel aged ale that’s shifted shape over the years but always holds true to the spirit of time, oak, and patience. Honored as Best in Show at FoBAB, Orin carries deep layers of fruit, toffee, and brandy warmth. Raise a glass with us.

Came across this scene & felt best to send up a search light. Classic Saab 900 16S, Beryl Green, DOUBLE GD Skellies, Slipknot handle on a WI vanity. I’m guessing this seeker brushed haze but finds home with a sharp west coaster. If you know them, we’ve got a tall pour at Balmoral
