The stouts are coming. The stouts are coming. This decadently flavorful yet effortlessly drinkable Milk Stout is conditioned on roasted cacao nibs, coffee, a dash of milk sugar, and GOBS of peanut butter. It runs the gamut from toasty lattes and dark chocolate ganache to rich, gooey peanut butter cups. Don’t let go of a good thing. Hold On to Sunshine reminds you to make the most of the sunny season and keep the light in your life close to your heart. Even when times get tough.

The rarest of all hat tricks - the June Stout Hat Trick - is complete! Hold On to Sunshine is one of our favorite Milk Stouts, brewed with gobs of peanut butter, a rich, chocolatey grain bill, cacao nibs, and conditioned on house-roasted coffee. The intersection of peanut butter and coffee roast is one of those flavor combinations that seems obvious in hindsight. Both are so familiar, so woven into our everyday routines, that it's easy to miss how naturally they complement one another. Layered atop a fluffy mouthfeel, the pairing creates a beer that is deeply decadent yet remarkably easy to drink. Whether life gives you lemons or life gives you juicy sweet peaches, it's paramount to Hold On To Sunshine.
