We select only the finest British, Belgian and German malts and have them milled to our exact specifications.
The milled malt (grist) is then Mashed in by hand with hot water to specific tempuratures that allow enzymes to convert starched in the malt to sugars. This sugar liquid is called wort.
The wort is then recirculated through the grain bed and sparged until it runs clear. It is then lautered into the kettle for boiling. During the boil the hops are introduced to add bitterness, flavor, and aroma.
When the boil is complete the wort is whirlpooled and after a short rest it is pumped through a heat exchanger reducing its tempurature from over 200F to 80F. The wort is then pumped to the fermentation tanks.
Fermentation begins as live yeast cultures are introduced to the wort. The yeast metabolized the sugar in the wort and produces CO2 and alcohol. Once fermented and filtered it is pumped to our storage tanks. From the beer tanks our beer flows from the taps into your glass.
All of our hand crafted beers are served at peak freshness. Cool. Fresh. Tasty.
