On National Beer Day, we're contemplating "Is Beer Art?"
We strongly believe that it is:

Brewing blends creative, sensory, and technical skills to create a balanced, aesthetic experience. Beer is a "living art" that tells stories and captures cultural moments. 

Our brewers use ingredients including hops, malt, and yeast to "paint" with flavor, balancing taste and aroma similar to how a painter balances composition, color and texture. 

Beer, like traditional art, is a reflection of society and is a record of human history. Our focus on re-creating classic Irish and English beers emphasizes this aspect

The tasting of beer is aesthetic, where "beauty is in the eye of the be(er)holder" 😉
