This week at your Co-op

This week I'd like to keep it short and sweet. We are all busy with holidays-goings-on, and need little reminders to take care of ourselves.
So while enjoying family, friends, and festivities, be sure to take some time out for yourself. Whether it is a long soak, a 10-minute meditation, or a walk in our woods, please give yourself that gift this holiday season.
We appreciate you choosing to spend time with us at the Co-op.
Blessings,
Kristin

Beer of the Year +
A Killer Deal
There have been a lot of good beers this year, but my favorite was Reuben's 2019 Hop Idol Hazy IPA, by Dan Schlegel and Frank Hammack, the winners of their annual homebrew contest.
Brewed with Norwegian kveik yeast, an old landrace strain just being discovered in America, with a rich, creamy mouthfeel, hints of citrus, spice and tropical fruit and clean sharp hops.
We bought up all the Hop Idol left at the warehouse in exchange for a killer deal
, which we're passing on to you. Normally $3.99 a 16 oz can, now $7.99 for a 4 pack.

New in the Store - Serenity!
Serenity Someday Hazy IPA
from Matchless and Trap Door brewing - A crazy, hazy beer which acknowledges and celebrates that, while we all hope to achieve serenity someday, this day is pretty insane.
