“Herbal and earthy elements can really complement the flavors found in your beer,” says Zac Sorensen, who uses Cynar and Punt e Mes to accent the hoppy aromas of American Pale Ale. An ode to the bitter purls of yore, the Hop Skip Jump is served in a punch mug and garnished with half an orange wheel.
