This is the first release in a series of specialty 22 ounce only offerings form MacTarnahan’s and the plan is to produce only 3000 cases. With Lip Stinger we’re offering a unique interpretation of Farmhouse Ale that combines the use of three malts and two hop varieties with a Malaysian and Indian 4 peppercorn blend that will deliver a flavor sensation that is endlessly interesting. Enjoy the heat and no pouting.”
