Treasure Chest Pint Night at Whiskey Kitchen, 5 - 8:00 pm, 2149 General Booth Blvd, Virginia Beach. Join Green Flash at Whiskey Kitchen to celebrate Treasure Chest 2016. The beer is an exotic pink IPA brewed with grapefruit, prickly pear juice, and hibiscus flowers. Erupting with fruit-forward complexity, 100% Mosaic hops present aromas of heady citrus and refined stone fruit. The pleasantly bitter flavors of the hops are enhanced by the addition of fresh grapefruit juice. Offering balance to offset the bold citrus notes, prickly pear juice imparts a peppery-sweet kick in the finish. Tropical Hibiscus flowers give this beer a naturally pink hue, a nod to the official color of the Treasure Chest mission. Come out for a night of great beer and food to help raise some money for a great cause.
