Half Acre/3 Floyds Mutiny & Mollusk

Per Success Is Not An Option:

This label began life as a confusion between this Man o’ War and this Man o’ War. Eventually both kinds got included. Also, if you look carefully, you will see a goddamn giant kraken.

This beer is only going to be available at the Floyds facility in Indiana, but it is certainly worth a short road trip. And before you ask, yes, actual oysters are involved in the brewing process and it’s not as gross as I assumed it would be when I heard that.
