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.

Draft at taproom. Hazy? What can you say? Let this beer speak for itself, and it speaks volumes. Aroma is fruity and dank, tropical, earthy. Taste is sweet, dank in the background. Poundable. But potent. Way too easy to drink. Wow!

Draft at brewery. Hazy pour, blah, blah, blah. Light fruity aroma. Taste comes in juicy, an equal mix of tropical and citrus. Nice feel. Overall decent.
