The Maui Wowie edition incorporates POG juice into the brewing process before fermentation begins, allowing the yeast to work alongside the fruit sugars and proteins.

Between Two Pillows was developed as a collaboration with nearby Riverlands Brewing, combining both teams' experience with hop-forward, haze-driven styles. The grain bill leans on a generous addition of oats—internally nicknamed \"Oats-Ma-Goats\" by the brewery's director of brewing operations—to build the silky, pillowy body the name promises. The hop schedule layers six varieties across the process: Mosaic Incognito and LupoMax Mosaic deliver concentrated lupulin oil without added vegetal matter, while LupoMax Citra, standard Citra, Mosaic, and Strata round out the aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Passionfruit leads immediately, followed by waves of ripe blueberry and a cotton-candy sweetness that drifts underneath.
