Brewmaster names new beer after TV series
This month, Moon River Brewing will be tapping a new beer, Black Lodge India Pale Ale, named after a location in the TV series Twin Peaks. Brewmaster John Pinkerton notes, "It is said, if you confront the Black Lodge with imperfect courage, it will utterly annihilate your soul. ... Are there any Bookhouse Boys out there up to the challenge?"
 
For those of you who have no clue what he's talking about, co-owner Gene Beeco notes, "It's an amazing and delicious beer. That's all you need to know."
