That was right around the time I started home brewing and I saw what a variety of beer you can make. I just got into all the different styles and wanted to try everything.”

Our Process
Take Note
Crafting a beer is a precise process. Creating a recipe is essential and allows brewers to carefully measure the ingredients and allows them to recreate the same beer in the future as well as make any needed adjustments on the next batch. This stage determines whether the beer will be an ale, stout, IPA or something completely new.
We often add local ingredients to in tribute to our beautiful state.
Source of Hoppiness
Once the recipe is created, the next step to find where to get the key ingredients from. The origin of the hops especially will determine the quality of the final product. We source our hops from high quality providers that have a track record of producing great beer.
Go get Mashed
The grain is boiled to extract the sugar which will eventually turn into alcohol during fermentation. The boiled grain is refereed to as the mash.
Get hoppin'
There are three stages where hops are added to the brew. Each stage will cause a different effect on the batch. This hops selected to be added at this stage provides flavor for the beer. The amount of hops added at this stage will determine the bitterness of the beer.
Cool it
The batch is cooled and the hops are removed. The mash is moved to a third boiler.
