BC: What’s your favorite aspect of this beer (flavor, aroma, etc.)?
My favorite aspect about this beer is rather than bringing down the pH to an almost palate destroying level, the slight sour attribution really brings out the array of flavors which can all be detected individually.

BC: Where does this beer’s name come from?
Juniper Pale Ale w/ Grapefruit and Lime - All Local's Stash beers are simply named as the style of the beer itself. We keep it simple in order to create a clean appearance on the label. However, the Juniper Pale we like to call "Gin and Juice" as that is where the inspiration for the beer stemmed from, listening to 90's Snoop Dogg.
BC: Can you describe this beer in 10 words or less?
Slight sour, refreshing citrus.
