Our world seems to revolve around more, more, and more. More things and more attention, and even beers have more ingredients and more noise around them. But with excess in excess, an authentic craft beer was nowhere to be found. And when you think you found it, it’s lost in the next pour.With tradition and consistency as their true norths, our two captains, Brenton and Andrew, ventured overseas. Exploring endless beers and brew houses, they discovered a new tradition. One that embraces traditional European brewing methodology, but with state-of-the-art tech that empowers us to provide a purer brew that is consistent across every batch. A refreshing, crisp beer that pays homage to exactly that: a proper brew.
