History on Tap

The Craft Beer boom has inspired many brewers to completely break down the barriers of what beer is and can be. Every year new styles are created with some becoming very popular like the Hazy IPA, and some disappearing as if they never existed like the Brut IPA. As these new styles are being innovated, other “extinct” styles and processes are being discovered, studied, and revived in our local taprooms. Beers which were lost to cultural, political, and even religious reasons are making a comeback in today’s craft beer industry.
