Get out of the way… because Leadfoot is tearing up the town.

Leadfoot is a new 5.3% New Zealand-style pilsner crafted in collaboration with our friends Altered Suds. You’ll often find us in their Warrenton taproom and them in ours, so it only made sense to finally brew something together. Plus, they’re just 30 miles away. What’s a little 15-minute drive?

This lager carries a heavy load of two New Zealand varietals. NZ Cascade — endowed with an essence of lime, guava, and red grapefruit — entered the kettle several times during the boil. Later, after primary fermentation, we dry hopped Leadfoot with our stash of Freestyle Riwaka, a lot we hand selected for its robust stone fruit and cannabis attributes, in addition to the familiar fruit punchiness. Trust us, you can smell it a mile and half away.

The grist is a mix of pale malts — mostly Weyermann pils, but also some of their Isaria 1924 heirloom malt and Epiphany’s fest-y Ursprung. The result is a light, cirsp body. After all, you can’t be bogged down when you got places to be.
