    Hi Joran! I love Halfway Crooks. Always curious what is different about your regular German lagers, such as active low, ADA, and radix. Malt? Hops? Do you have a favorite?

    Is the name of your brewery a Mobb Deep reference?

    The Ascii style art on the can is so cool. Who came up with the description on the can and what is behind it?

    How do you get the hop flavors to be so floral?

    Do you use a traditional decoction to make Radix?

    Can't wait to visit this brewery some day.
    What is uniquely 'Halfway Crooks' about this Pilsner? What is your signature on the beers you produce?
