Mr. Pineapple is one of our most popular brews and truly a labor of love. We take pride in sourcing quality ingredients, making for a more refreshing and satisfying beer. On behalf of the entire SanTan Family, we are thrilled to have our beer selected for the silver award,” said Anthony Canecchia, founder and brewmaster, SanTan Brewing Company.
