Mount just dropped their biggest beer ever, Tripel Overhead 11.3% imperial stout.

Born from a three‑way collab with Pinta (Poland) and Ārpus (Latvia), Triple Overhead starts with a rich, full‑bodied stout base, with single‑origin Brazilian coffee beans, vanilla pods and cocoa nibs. The result? A luscious, velvety brew pouring layers of dark chocolate, caramelised sugar, and espresso before finishing in a smooth, warming embrace.

We only have 12 cans of this monster, so grab one while you can.

We recently had a chance to give Papa's Smashies a try and think they're ideal as a BYO food option. Grab a burger from down the road and head over to The Beer Library for a couple pints for Music Bingo kicking off at 5:30 tonight!

Just tapped: this Mountain IPA from Black Sands Brewing Company. Think lush hazy with big aromas but with the bitter bite of a WCIPA. Best of both worlds.
