This ambitious brew is a celebration of perseverance and dedication, embodying a symphony of bright, bold flavors with zesty fruit notes, all culminating in a crisp and clean finish. It stands as a refreshing homage to the journey ahead, making every sip a toast to progress and hope.
“Closer by the Mile” is not just a beer; it’s a commitment to a cause. Athletic Brewing pledges to donate 100% of the profits from this beer to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, directly supporting cancer research and treatment efforts.

Delving into the sensory experience, this medium-bodied IPA showcases a rich tapestry of aromas and flavors.

The brew’s composition is a testament to quality and care, featuring water, malted barley, wheat, hops, and yeast. Nutritional information reveals a considerate profile for the health-conscious, with 70 calories, 16 grams of carbohydrates, 1 gram of protein, and zero fat per serving.
