Description
Although we hail from Chicago, we met in Munich at the Doemens Institute while studying for our Master Brewer Certifications. While bonding over the great beers and food of Bavaria, we soon discovered a mutual respect for the traditional brewing methods of continental Europe. As two educated brewers cut from similar stock, we decided to join our talents and shared vision into a stronger form, like a dovetail joint.
Our goal is to produce beer of the highest quality similar to the level of craftsmanship found in fine woodworking. We are merging continental European styles and techniques with American creativity to produce the kind of beers found in small, family-run breweries in Europe.

Can from Beer On the Wall Arlington Heights. Pours a clearish gold with a finger of white foam that lingers. Nice lacing down the glass, lovely bready malt aromas with a slighly floral, herbal note and a touch of citrus. More of the same on the palate. Well-rounded mouthfeel, clean and crisp. Great stuff.

Can from Beer On the Wall in Arlington Heights. Pours a clearish gold with a finger of white foam that dissipates rather quickly. No lacing on the glass. Get some banana, clove and citrus aromas. More citrus on the palate. Seems under-carbonated for a hefewizen. Flavors are all there, but wish there wish a bit more carbonation. Enjoyable though.
