From First Magnitude Brewing Company
We’re not Bock-ing down from releasing heartbreakers of beers, especially if we can incorporate some Petty Puns! ❤️
Join us on Saturday October 14th for Don’t Brew Me Like That and indulge in our special Petty-themed beers, from the archives, while swaying to some live, local acoustic acts Austin Brockner, Maggie Clifford and Hannah Harber on our stage from 7:00-10:30 pm. ?
YOU DON’T KNOW HOW IT PEELS Citrus IPA 6.5% ABV
Let’s get to the point: this modern take on an American IPA has plenty of citrus and tropical fruit hop character that gets a significant boost from a generous dose of grapefruit and orange zest. The soft malt character provides a perfect platform for all of these flavors to shine through. We think you will know how it feels when you enjoy this one!
WON’T BOCK DOWN – Helles Bock Lager – 6.6% ABV
There ain’t no easy way out, but it’s real easy to enjoy this German-style lager that features authentic German hops and malt. The spicy-herbal hop character is supported with a slightly sweet blend of pilsner malts. This crisp, refreshing beer has a dry finish that will have you willing to stand up at the gates of hell to order another!
LEARNING TO RYE – Rye IPA with Citra + Nelson – 6.3% ABV
This pale gold IPA features Citra and Nelson Sauvin hops. A lush, exotic bouquet of juicy stone fruits, white grapes, and passion fruit intermingle with a subtle spicy rye malt character. This beer is as unique as Gainesville’s native son.
We know that waiting is the hardest part, so we’ll be releasing these a day early, on Friday! Available on in cans to-go, and on draft Friday 10/13 starting at 2:00 PM. ?
