Couldn’t be more thrilled that Beskar West Coast IPA took out first place at the NSW Pro-Am! After an unforgettable time brewing last year, I’m back again this October for , teaming up with to showcase a different beer than before.

Not a long time ago, in a brewery not so far away…

I teamed up with to brew a Red IPA called Dathomir a beer that I have tweaked and tweaked, crafted with passion, precision, and a touch of the dark side. We entered it into the Brewers Got Talent competition hosted by and guess what? We won!!! 🏆
