Midnight Brett

Dark Ale Fermented with Brettanomyces

Midnight Brett gets its name from the Midnight wheat we brew it with. The dark wheat gives it a deep, dark chocolate color. The aroma opens with fresh berries and sour cherries, and ends with a warm roastiness. Each sip offers a zip of tart fruitiness on the palate. We brew this beer with 2-row, Midnight wheat, raw wheat, and rye malt. It’s hopped with a blend of Perle, Glacier, and Simcoe hops. We then add our house strain of local, wild Brettanomyces yeast. The yeast works its magic over the next eight months where the beer ferments in a stainless tank. Midnight Brett begs to be shared no matter the hour on the clock.

Dark Beers

A beer’s dark color comes from kilned malts. These specialty malts can add flavors of chocolate, coffee, and roastiness. Another fun fact: dark beers aren’t always heavy—some can have a very light, refreshing mouthfeel.

Barrel-Aged Beers

We think of barrels as more of an ingredient than a vessel. Using different barrels, you can add notes of spirits, oak, vanilla, toasted coconut, and more. They’re also used for aging our wild and sour beers. If you’d like to explore all of our currently available beers that spent time in barrels, click below!
