BANDIT SERIES

Origins

In the heart of South Jersey, nestled between the historic streets of Collingswood, the mischievous spirit of the Masked Bandit—our beloved raccoon—comes alive each fall. Much like the raccoon sneaks into backyards to snatch treats, our Bandit Series captures the flavors of the season, blending tradition and playfulness in every sip.

​

Snap Bandit: Inspired by the iconic Ivins' Famous Spice Wafers, once baked just down the road in Camden, Snap Bandit pays homage to South Jersey’s favorite fall flavors. Brewed with ginger, cinnamon, and a hint of clove, this spiced ale strikes a perfect balance between sweet and spice—reminiscent of the cookies that have been a local favorite for over a century.

​

Tart Bandit: Where Snap Bandit brings warmth and spice, Tart Bandit sneaks in with a bright, citrusy charm. Inspired by the nostalgic zing of a lemon cookie, this refreshing blonde ale is brewed with subtle hints of lemon and vanilla for a smooth, sunny finish. Light, crisp, and just sweet enough, Tart Bandit is the perfect treat for summer days and breezy evenings alike.

​

Food Pairings

Snap Bandit's warming spices enhance the natural sweetness of roasted fall vegetables, while its crisp finish balances out rich, hearty meals. Whereas, Tart Bandit delivers a bright, tangy punch that pairs perfectly with foods that can match its zesty energy—or benefit from its refreshing bite. The tart citrus notes cut through rich, creamy dishes and complement savory flavors, while also bringing a vibrant twist to classic desserts.
