BC: Who came up with this beer’s recipe?
I did.

BC: What’s your favorite aspect of this beer (flavor, aroma, etc.)?
My favorite thing about Arjuna is the unique spice character -- the way that the Chamomile blends with the coriander and sweet orange peel creates a very unique flavor.

BC: Where does this beer’s name come from?
Originally this beer was called White Flame, which unfortunately was a name that was already spoken for. Arjuna is Sanskrit for White Flame and we really like the way it rolls off the tongue.

BC: Is this your “desert island beer?”
This would not be my Desert Island beer, it would be on the shortlist, but I think in the end it probably wouldn’t make that final spot.

BC: Can you describe this beer in 10 words or less?
Fruity notes of orange peel, coriander and chamomile make for a refreshing experience.

BC: Do you know a story – or have a personal story – that revolves around this beer?
I am constantly surprised by the fierce following that Arjuna receives, at one point we were talking about reducing it to a seasonal and the fierce backlash we got from its loyal supporters quickly caused us to change our minds.

BC: What's a good food pairing for this beer?
Arjuna pairs great with white fish, fruit and sweet cheeses.
