Pitfalls Pale Ale_Winter 2013

Welcome friends and fans!  In the midst of the dreary Seattle winter we successfully brewed & bottled our inaugural beer, the Pit-falls Pale Ale!  Pitfalls is named after Jez (Jezebel) a spirited girl who's origins are thought to be pit-bull and American bulldog.  Jez, who was adopted in 2009 via Pet Finder (found wandering the streets of Tacoma, WA) is now the beloved princess of the brew-master. Her energy, adoration of any human, and playful antics provide good entertainment for all. Though she's mostly a city girl, Jez frequently gets out to the mountains, as featured here on the label, full pack on; fording a river!
