Exploration is the line from local beer maker to World-Class Brewer. It’s a pioneer impulse, and it sets the authentic, rural heartbeat of Southern Tier. It’s how we got here. And by the time others catch up, it’ll be why we’re already somewhere else.
From our wildly innovative founder, Phin DeMink, who’s still a daily inspiration, to the new generation of brewers, thinkers, and drinkers who share our pursuit of what’s next, we keep honing the creative edge of brewing discovery.
So this is an open invitation, to anyone who gives a damn about the difference between a well-crafted beer and a stunningly satisfying encounter with the new. Join us on the road less traveled.

Very malty with a touch if diacetyl butteriness, offering up a buttered caramel popcorn front and a gentle yeast-tinged bitter finish. Decent.

Backlog November 2009. Deep red/amber body under a nice, dense beige head. Aroma of malt, toast, some fruit and hint of pine. Taste is sweet, slightly roasted malt, dry fruit, citric fruit, some pine, medium bitterness and less alcoholic than expected. Fine body with long lasting sweet aftertaste. Well made.

Interesting citra IPA, not delighted at the first sip, but after it was becoming so citrus and bitter, typical soily side of citra, 01.07.19, at Epalinges.
