We teamed up with our friends over at @bottlelogicbrewing to make one for that guy right there and that lady with the sideburns.
Mutants From Table 9 - Bourbon Barrel Aged Barleywine with Peach, Granola and Vanilla. 12.0% ABV.
For just over 2 years, this barleywine has been aging in a trio of bourbon barrels: 1/3rd Russell’s Reserve + 2/3rds Elijiah Craig. This cute lil Can O’ Mutants is like taking a bite of Peach Cobbler alongside a sip of Bourbon neat. Luscious notes of caramel, molasses, raisins, with hints of peach and vanilla.
MANDRAKE FALLS
“NEVER EVER LEFT MANDRAKE FALLS BEFORE, AIN’T THAT A PIP”
Mandrake Falls - West Coast IPA with Motueka, Mosaic and Nelson. 6.8% ABV.
Inspired by the lovely little town where Longfellow calls home, where no trouble befalls and the scenery enthralls. This beer is exploding with Tropical Fruit, Sweet Citrus, Berries and rounds out super dry with a light bitterness. Pairs perfectly with a hot and ready french fry and oreo pizza.

CZECH DECK
BORN AND BRED TO RIP AND SHRED
Czech Deck - 12° Czech Style Pilsner. 5.0% ABV.
We’re dropping hammers with our latest Czech Pilz. Made with Floor Malted Bohemian Malt and a gnarly amount of Czech Saaz Hops. This little shredder pops effortlessly with a crispy golden color, setting up an awesome foam, a soft mouthfeel and firm bitterness all backed up with a zesty floral hop character.
Shoutout THE DAWES (@matthewgordondawes) for the sick Czech pun and @karpinsk for inspiring our label artwork with his incredible skate photos (Czech them out!).

GRANDÉ HEFÉ
🍊🍊 THE BIG BOSS RETURNS 🍍🍍
GRANDÉ HEFÉ - Hefeweizen conditioned on Oranges and Pineapples. 5.4% ABV.
We first brewed this beer during our home brew days circa 2013! A few of our original homebrew recipes have made the jump to become core beers for us, while others have become recurring taproom favorites. Other ones…not so much! If you want to take a deep dive into Ambitious history you can scroll allllll the way down our instagram feed and see how things started.
Hefé starts as a well balanced hefeweizen with subtle fruity esters and a healthy amount of wheat malt. We then condition the finished beer on Oranges and round it all out with vibrant pineapple purée. Drinks soft and effervescent with layers of tropical fruit, citrus and spice.
ROSS
MEET THE BOYS
ROSS - Triple Dry Hopped Triple Hazy IPA with Nectaron Cryo, Citra, Dolcita, Vista and Citra Hyperboost! Collab with our friends at @everywherebeerco.
Who’s the bad boy? Gotta be ROSS. Who’s the lover? Definitely ROSS. And the one with the hidden talent? GO ROSS!
This TDH Triple Hazy IPA was dreamt up in our beautiful group chat with the kind people over at @everywherebeerco. If it wasn’t triple dry hopped or triple hazy it just wasn’t going to work for us. Bursting with notes of dole whip soft serve, fresh squeezed orange juice and peach rings, ROSS packs more bite than the most ferocious Chihuahua.
The long wait for a TDH Triple Hazy IPA collab from us and @everywherebeerco will be totally worth it in the end. You’ll be quick to fall in love with our newest bad boy ROSS.

MAGANDA MO
MAGANDA MO → YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL
Maganda Mo - Fruited Sour, Berliner-Style Weisse conditioned with Calamansi Puree and Fresh Cucumber Juice 4.5% ABV
Inspired by a Calamansi Cucumber Mint drink, we thought, why not make it in beer form? Mint is a bit tricky to work with so we took the Calamansi Cucumber approach and are excited to share it with you.
For those seeking an acid trip, Magando Mo is sour candy-like, tart, juicy, citrusy with a swoosh of pipino. Beautiful just like you :)
