The ‘very, Very Single’ Valentine :
If only you could invoke a little love for just one day...
It might not summon you a lover, but you won’t feel so alone with Revelation Craft Brewing’s Love Potion #2, an awesome combo that was meant to be - the perfect balanced tartness from Revelations house lacto-strain conditioned on mango and pineapple – also available as a candle!

The ‘School-Yard’ Valentine :
Recreate the excitement of Valentine's Day exchanges with the adult version! Tell that special someone how you really feel with a Dogfish Head Distilling Co canned crush!

The 'I Hate Everyone' Valentine :
Valentine's Day is just another day, right... right? Wallowing pairs perfectly with Autumn Arch Beer Project’s Love and Loathing - Strawberry Tart Saison Funky. Notes of oak and musty grapes blend together in this deeply red and gorgeous barrel-aged sour. 12 months on oak produced tender notes of earthy jam and a super mellow tartness.
