Recipe Formulation

We typically start by identifying the best beers in the world according to the specific style we are trying to create.  By carefully examining their attributes and applying brew science and experience, we deconstruct the recipes to isolate what makes them stand out. Next, we determine any commonalities and then reconstruct a recipe based on the best qualities of these very best beers, a All*Star of best practices. We brew up a pilot batch and discuss the results 

Reverse Osmosis

It all starts with water. Reverse Osmosis renders our H2O free of all minerals and chemical content, allowing us to rebuild the chemistry to enhance any characteristic of your beer we wish, and also to precisely replicate water sources from around the world.  When you order our Czech Pilsner, you are sampling the same historic water as you would have in Plzen, Czech Republic.  Beer is 90% water, so we act accordingly.

Crestview graduate, Scott Brubaker, uses our spent grain to supplement feed for his cattle - which is eventually fed back to you. This is the Circle of Life Elton John was singing about.

We name our beers ill willed synonyms like Strife, Angst, and Animosity which were crafted to pair with the situation that led to you needing a beer. Did someone correct your grammar? Order Pettiness. Can't keep up with the Joneses? Have a Pissing Contest

 

Sour beers most commonly end in past tense, like Miffed and Peaved and our IPAs have a lineage deriving from the ill albums Illmatic, Licensed to Ill, and Ill Communication

We have broken the styles into eight broad categories and assigned a color. Belgians are purple for example. The shade of purple will indicate it's potency. The darker the higher the abv. 

Beer nerds by admission, we continuously seek innovation.

Our space is purposefully harsh and unforgiving. We prefer our music loud and our beer louder. The decor is not accidental either. There are secrets to unlock around you and clues hiding in plain sight. 

We brew bold beers with a pioneering spirit and traditional styles to pay homage to the history around and behind us.

Our beers take their names from ill willed synonyms like Vitriol, Bitterness, and Loathing - each crafted to pair with the situation that led you to needing a beer. Run into the grammar police? Order Pettiness. Can't keep up with the Joneses? Try Pissing Contest

Limited Release only because the brewhouse is real small.
