1554 [ 5.6% ABV | 21 IBU’s ]
Born of a flood and centuries-old Belgian text, 1554 Enlightened
Black Ale uses a light lager yeast strain and dark chocolaty malts to
redefine what dark beer can be. In 1997, a Fort Collins flood destroyed
the original recipe our researcher, Phil Benstein, found in the library.
So Phil and brewmaster, Peter Bouckaert, traveled to Belgium to
retrieve this unique style lost to the ages. Their first challenge was
deciphering antiquated script and outdated units of measurement,
but trial and error (and many months of in-house sampling)
culminated in 1554, a highly quaffable dark beer with a moderate
body and mouthfeel.

Lips of Faith – Sahti [ 7.2% ABV ]
Inspired by Finnish Sahti, a traditional rye ale brewed with juniper,
our Sahti Ale is a hazy amber ale with a sturdy mouthfeel and a crisp
and lively “finnish”. Brewed with Pale, Crystal, rye malts and whole
oats, our version is bittered with Cascade and finished with Cascade
and Amarillo hops. Juniper boughs are added to the mash and juniper
berries, orange and lemon peel are pitched in the whirlpool creating a
festive olfactory of citrus and juniper notes.
