Last month, RAR began rolling out cans of Nanticoke Nectar to stores and bars on the “Western Shore,” including the District. Thankfully, no one will ever feel my pain again.

When I first visited RAR Brewing’s Cambridge, Md., brewpub in the spring of 2014, I fell hard for Nanticoke Nectar, a West Coast-style IPA loaded with fragrant Citra hops.
