We ❤️ Emiel!

If you’ve been to the taproom, chances are Emiel has served you a beer. This week's Indeed We Can is going to support our longtime bartender who was hit by a car while riding his bike in July. We're donating taproom proceeds to help Emiel pay for his hospital bills and cover his expenses from the time he was not able to work while recovering from his extensive injuries.

All taproom proceeds, including merch, to-go beer, and THC, will go to help Emiel.
