Description
At Modist, we push past traditional brewing by embracing creativity and unconstrained experimentation.
This starts with the approach to recipe development taken by our Head Brewer, Keigan. Contrary to starting with a style guideline in mind, then moving forward – he starts with a flavor and experience in mind, then works backward. And since we’ve decided to not be bound by style guidelines, he’s free to use whatever ingredients in any amount with whatever technique he wants to create a new beer experience.
To enable this philsophy and to enhance our creativity, we created a custom built brewhouse that allows us to make the beers we want to make. It’s centered around the region’s first mash filter. This piece of equipment allows us to use any grain in any percentage – and do so while using a fraction of the water and energy of a traditional brewery.

From a can. Great carbonation and color. Good palate. The mosaic is rather sweet for a pilsner. Grapefruit/citrus aroma.

Aromas are malt, lime and salt. Flavors are similar to nose. Just slightly more sweet than bitter with okay lime and barely noticeable salt. I guess it does what it's supposed to do and nothing more.
