About this beer
This is the 13th of 15 labels we have from Wayfinder Beer. It is one of 4 extra pale ale / xpa labels approved in September 2026. Its label was approved 3 days after it was submitted.
From the label“A forbidden gathering of hop sorcery brewed in collaboration with Pint House Brewing. Trust the hops, trust the coven. Question everything else. Notes of tropical fruit, gooseberry, and pink grapefruit jellybeans, conjured into a dangerously crushable XPA. The coven has spoken.”
From the brewery“Made in Collaboration with our good friends at Pinthouse. Notes of gooseberry, blueberry, dank, & kumquat marmalade.”
