Purity of Essence

Well, sure, the Cold War might be over, but you can't be certain, can you? You've got brewers putting all sorts of crazy things into your beer – do you ever really know where they came from, or why they're even there in the first place?

You need a beer you can trust, and that's why we make Purity of Essence. It's an overstuffed blend of the best malts, fresh Noble hops, yeast, and water, brewed according to the German Reinheitsgebot – the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516 – but you won't find anything like this in the Old Country. Vienna and Munich malts add just a bit of color and malty firmness to balance the intense hoppy flavors and aromas that make this brew distinctly American.

Vigilance!
