A Fulcrum is the point on which a lever rests. The fulcrum pivots and adjusts to keep everything in balance and as close to ideal as possible given the situation. The craft beer industry has been thrown for a loop these last few weeks and we have all been doing our best to pivot and find our fulcrum. Along with our friends and peers we’ve tried to adapt during these difficult times. We want this beer to be a reminder that even under less than ideal situations, find your resiliency and let’s bounce back and grow from the challenge.
Fulcrum was brewed with a base of white wheat and oats for a soft base. We added Citra and Idaho-7 in the whirlpool and dry hopped it with Nelson, Strata, and Citra. Fulcrum pours a beautiful vivid yellow. As soon as you crack it open bright notes of grass and citrus permeate. Flavors of passionfruit, cannabis, and white wine grapes meld together beautifully with each sip. The buildup of dank juicy fruit counters with a light and balanced bittereness in the finish offering a fulcrum for a beer with such unique and powerful flavor.

Can. Opaque apricot with a large dense white head. Surprising (in the original and good sense) aroma with hedgerow berries, spices, under-ripe stonefruit, pine twigs, grass. Smooth, blurred palate. An almost woody dryness counters the moderately sweet fruit. There's little bitterness and it really wants for a finish. But before that it's interesting.

Pint can from Wine Cellar Depere, 6/14/22. Murky orange, large off-white head, good retention. Aroma of mango, orange, earth. Taste is citrus, mango, tangerine, lime, dank, and it attempts to be banana but falls a bit short. Juicy, moderate bitterness. Interesting. Nice.

Pint can at Tiny Projects, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia. Poured a murky golden straw colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, buttery Chardonnay vinous notes. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a smooth, creamy, oaty, biscuit, light lemon citrus, dry vinous, hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation. Very smooth and nicely balanced. Dangerously drinkable at 8.5%.
