Punk Rock For Rich Kids
Tearing out of the glass with pine needles, orange peel, & enough resin to gum up the distortion pedal, Punk Rock For Rich Kids ain’t for the faint of heart. Fruity, dank, citrus-soaked with a caramel malt baseline & a dry Belgian snap that holds the whole track together. Some beers ask politely for your attention… Punk Rock hijacks it.
Available: Draft. 16oz 4-pack.
The Move: Enjoy the liquid alliance of this Belgo-American ripper now through Sunday, because Monday… we are officially at odds! Why not US?!
