Description: You know Freak Flag. You love it. And this year we came up with a fresh new look for this years fresh hopped Freak Flag tribute. And our goals were lofty: make an insanely hop concentrated brew that is incredibly balanced, yet complex (those two things are not mutually exclusive). Bitterness can’t linger too much, but hops should be dank and juicy. This year is simply the best fresh hop variant of Freak Flag we’ve done yet, and we made twice as much of it!

So we don’t get sidetracked further: Strata. You remember Fresh Kicks, don't you? We can't forget it. How could we? Strata worked so well in that beer, that we felt it would be the ultimate pairing for this year's Freak. So we took another trip to visit our friends at Crosby Hops.

The beer is almost savory in the nose. Sweet fruits like strawberry and peaches whisp into a slightly minty finish. I promise it will keep you coming back for more, and you will want to smell it before every sip. Its intoxicating - but it will never intoxicate you.

We are so chuffed to be able to bring you these seasonal beauties. Get it, keep it cold, and drink it fresh, for the love of god.

WARNING: similar to many juices, kombucha, and other beverages you'll find in the grocery store, this product has not been pasteurized, and therefore may contain harmful bacteria that can cause serious illness in children, the elderly, and persons with weakened immune systems.

PLEASE NOTE: like other beverage industries have been doing for centuries, we mitigate the potential for bacterial growth in other ways, rather than to pasteurize and destroy the nuanced flavors that make our beer stand out from many pasteurized non-alcoholic beer offerings, though we do acknowledge pasteurization is the most effective way to inhibit bacterial growth, or potential for refermentation in the can. Risk may be exacerbated by prolonged warm storage, so to mitigate risk, always cold-store Self Care immediately upon receipt, and avoid exposure to extreme heat.
