Brewing Process

  1. We select only the finest British, Belgian and German malts and have them milled to our exact specifications.

  2. The milled malt (Grist) is then "mashed" in with hot water to specific temperatures that allow enzymes to convert the starches

  in the malt to sugars. This sugar liquor is called the wort.

  3. The wort is recirculated through the grain bed intil it runs clear and then lautered into the kettle for boiling.

  4. The wort is boiled for 90 minutes. During the boil the hops are introduced to add bitterness, flavor and aroma.

  5. When the boil is complete, the wort is whirlpooled to remove any unfermentable material. After a short rest, the hot wort is

  pumped through a heat exchanger reducing the temperature from over 200° F to 70° F. The wort is then pumped into a

  fermentation tank.

  6. Fermentation begins as live yeast cultures are introduced (pitched) into the wort. The yeast metabolizes the sugars in the wort

  and produces carbon dioxide and alcohol.

  7. Once fermented, the beer is filtered and pumped into storage vessels which in turn service our taps.

  8. All of our handcrafted beers are served to you at the peak of freshness. Cool. Fresh.
