Martin House Brewing – The First Gemini

Today Arfred is serving Martin House – The First Gemini, a 9.2% imperial pomegranate sour. As a Gemini myself, I gotta say I’m not thrilled by being called two-faced by astrology (I wonder if Harvey Dent was a Gemini). Love how they snuck Castor and Pollux into the can art, the true first Gemini twins. Well, twins and yet only half-brothers since Pollux is actually the son of Zeus, who became a swan and raped Pollux’s mom. Yes I said raped, not “seduced” as many versions of the story go, because Zeus was a colossal predator, and how the hell can a woman be seduced by a swan? She’s a princess – you’re gonna look at me and tell me that I’m wrong? Grow up, bro. Cisco recommends Googling “you’re gonna tell me I’m wrong” if you didn’t get that reference.

Do you follow astrology?

Pairs well with Shallow Rivers – Leda and the Swan
