MONDAY, August 22nd

Yards PYNK is a beer like no other.  We add 3,300 pounds of sour and sweet cherries and raspberries to each batch, resulting in a tart berry ale that’s effervescent and pleasantly pink in color.  Delighting the palate, this light-bodied brew finishes refreshingly dry.  We are proud to donate 1 dollar from every case and 5 cents from every pint of PYNK sold to breast cancer research and awareness.  Since 2013, we’ve raised over $18,000 for the Tyanna Foundation!
