“Blurring the lines between beer and a champagne based cocktail, Tangential is a unique twist on a Mimosa that is in a category of its own. Unlike most brut beers, this is not an IPA. Using the same concept of a dry, effervescent base, we decided to take this style into a whole new direction with the addition of Sauvignon Blanc grape juice and Tangerine puree. This might just make you rethink your favorite Sunday brunch beverage, whether you’r a beer drinker or not!”

– Justin Burnsed, Head Brewer

We’ll have cans and draft pours at both Centennial and Arvada locations:
$6 10oz on draft (limit 2)
$6 16 oz Can (no limit)
$20 4 pack

Come by either location and feel those brunch vibes!
