A play on a traditional India Pale Ale, the mash for Leghorn includes three different types of rye. The rye imparts a spicy malt profile that balances the five separate hop additions. Bittered with Columbus hops and dry-hopped with Liberty, the deep hop flavor and delicate, floral bouquet creates a complex, yet refreshing brew.

Using a subtle combination of Victory and Honey malts for a smooth greeting followed by a sly, sharp stab to the palate of robust American hops, Velvet Hustle will easily work its way into your home and then steal your heart. And your watch.

Generous amounts of baked sweet potatoes (provided by Tennessee’s very own Delvin Farms and roasted by Flavor Catering) are mashed with the grains to create a complex, silky smooth stout with a prominent presence of coffee and bitter dark chocolate. This stout is great on its own, but complements many dessert items. Look for the roastiness of the sweet potatoes on the finish.
