Our Story

Deep in his Test Lab lair, mad Nige Beerstein aka “the Doc”, aka “old Hops-along”, aka “that beer guy” concocts experimental brews to run exhaustive taste tests on his lab rats. He might look like a normal guy (see picture below) but believe us, he’s got a story to tell and his pen is made of malt, and his paper is made of yeast, and his… dammit, I ran out of metaphor.

But seriouskly folks, Jackie & I are trying something new - releasing experimental craft beers along with an episodic cartoon story that unfolds one can at a time…

Nelson is a great place to set the yarn. It is after all where we get much of our amazing ingredients.

Keep checking back in as the tale unfolds. You never know, you might see yourself in one of the frames!
