Description
Determined to find a way or make one, the idea of BLACK PLAGUE was founded to create a community, relationships, and great beer. BLACK PLAGUE began as an abstract idea about bringing people together over delicious beer… but it quickly became more than that. Doors opened in June 2017 and we have won multiple awards for our beers.

BLACK PLAGUE Brewing represents the misfits, renegades, underdogs, rebels, rule-breakers, nonconformists, hustlers, D-I-Yers, and all those who strive to be better, stand out from the crowd, and follow their true passion. Our mission is to provide deliciously fresh hand-crafted beer that emboldens a community around collaboration and inspiring creative self-expression – reminding us that death is certain, so we must live life to the fullest.

On tap at barrel republic pours out crisp clean golden topped with a white head. Nose is a nice combo of pine citrus hops and some bread malts. Taste is more of the nice hop combo and a well balanced malt bill.

Some bar in Fullerton: pours amber with a white head. Aroma is lemon juice, grapefruit juice... fruitiness generally. Taste is juicy... but not in the NE haze type of way, but quite literally. Easy drinking but seems stilted.

Pour is a dark almost brown haze with a small white head. Aroma is a pineapple and mango fruit salad. Flavor is a non-descript fruit with a real thick but dry mouthfeel with a little caramel malt. Not much of any flavor is left after the swallow. This was a decent beer. The aroma was the best thing about this.
