Join us in celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) folks both in craft beer and beyond, as we seek to build a bigger, more united community. While diversity within the brewing industry is still growing, it felt important to represent those that aren’t necessarily represented in most craft beer spaces. This collaboration encompasses just a small fraction of those within the AAPI community, it is a step towards building a bigger, more united community. Our friends from Bluejacket, Barriehaus, and Finback have helped us craft a refreshing light lager that pulls inspiration and flavors from our various backgrounds.

Enjoy the talents of many through the lens of Collaboration Beer Releases led by Burial Brewers Rachael Morris and Jaemin Riley, a live Free Sound performance by Tashi Dorji and Thom Nguyen of Manas, and a Kitchen Pop-Up by Paul Jonathan Pike of Master BBQ.

We celebrate and gather together as a reminder that coming together as a community can create something truly special. A portion of Dry Cup beer sales will be donated to the WNCAAPI.

Manas is a duo comprised of guitarist Tashi Dorji and drummer Thom Nguyen. As a duo, Manas explores lots of improvisational ground, ranging from extreme sideways expansions of sonics texture — with Tashi’s guitar moving decisively outward while Thom’s drums explode in a mostly (but not entirely) parallel plane — to repetative reflecto passages that curl up into a tight ball before achieving escape velocity.
