About the Beer: Biere de Fete

Biere De Fête, our strong spiced lager, is based loosely - loosely - on the esoteric Biere de Garde style. Specifically, it’s based on the even more esoteric sub-style, Biere de Noel.

About The Beer: Dark & Sunny
/
Let us make something clear from the get-go: a tropical stout is *not* a stout brewed with tropical stuff. There is no coconut or pineapple or mango or passion fruit in Dark & Sunny or any other tropical stout brewed to style.
But, as a style, the tropical stout is something much more interesting.

The funny story of the origin of “Goose Beer,” and the more interesting story of how the Gose style was invented in Germany, adopted by American brewers, and how we brewed ours.
Read MoreAbout The Beer: All The Way May
/
Maibock is a fascinating historical style, due in no small part to how inconclusive said history is. But our head brewer gives recounting the history of Maibock a go, and details how we brewed All The Way May - our take on the style.

/
Inspired by tropical climates and states of mind, Woo Palm Beach leaps from the glass with a vibrant aroma of sweet mango juice and orange, followed by our expected lactic, lemony tartness.

/
When we were approached by our friends at African Community Education (ACE) about brewing an Africa-inspired beer for their annual gala, we were at once honored to be given the opportunity and incredibly intimidated by the enormous variety of cultures, flavors, climates, and traditions we were now trying to sort into one cohesive beer.

About the Beer: I Can’t Even
/
Ah, pumpkin beer - the on again/off again darling of the craft beer world. For a single category to encompass such whimsy, nostalgia, spite, and ambiguity is no small accomplishment, especially considering some (including ours!) aren’t even brewed with pumpkin.

/
Ultimate Frisbie Hoar, a collaboration beer (our first!) with Cambridge Brewing Company, is a double IPA (our first!) that we made for The Great Mass Collab fest earlier this month. But the tale of this beer starts years ago, back in the brewery’s early planning days.

Read MoreAbout the Beer: Edelstein Hefeweizen
/
We picked the classic German hefeweizen as our go-to wheat beer because they’re a downright fascinating style. They’re traditionally wildly complicated to brew, but also one of the most accessible styles out there, easily enjoyed by newer craft beer drinkers and consummate beer geeks alike.

Not only is St. Paddy’s Day America’s greatest holiday, it’s my goddamn birthday and I’m gonna brew what I want.
Read MoreAbout the Beer: Big Brains Saison
/
It’s time to bring a little oomph.
Our introductory beer lineup — a golden ale, IPA, hefe, and dry stout — were exercises in balance, tradition, and absolute drinkability. This is good and important, but as we expand our offerings, we want to have some fun and deliver some big, big flavors.
Enter Big Brains.
Read MoreAbout the Beer: Blackstone Stout
/
Why did we brew a dry Irish stout -- a relatively restrained, uncomplicated iteration of stouts?
Was it to push back against a sugar-glazed world gone mad? To stare down an unstoppable rolling tide of bourbon barrels destined to consume all stouts and, eventually, us?
Nope! It’s because they’re fun as hell to brew and drink!
Read MoreAbout the Beer: War Castle IPA
/
War Castle is our take on the American IPA. It’s hazy with a soft bitterness, soft body, extremely fruit-forward nose and flavor — plus some classic piney and spice notes mixed in, a firm malt backbone, and a focus on balance and moderation.
Here’s how we made it.
