Tetrad Brewing opened in September 2019. Their passion is to brew classic beer styles sometimes with a unique, modern twist for the craft beer drinker and novice alike.
They are a dog-friendly brewery, and the day that I visited they had a charity fund raiser entitled Pints 4 Pups. This also happened to be their last day of operation at this site, and they will be temporarily closed until they relocate.
Hoppy enjoyed the below listed brews during his visit:
The Club Collab #10 – Hoppy Cream Ale – This was their 10th Build-A Brew collaboration with the Club at Tetrad members. Described as characterized by a combination of ale and lager yeasts, allowing the beer to be fermented at cooler than normal temperatures, leading to smoother flavors and aromas. They pushed the boundaries of a traditional cream ale by utilizing mash hopping, first wort hopping, whirlpool hopping and dry hopping to something closer to a session IPA than a light lager. 4.8% ABV, 42 IBU.
The Club Collab #9 – English Bitter IPA – Described as a throwback to a traditional beer that some call the “national drink of England.” Although not very bitter by today’s standards, UK grown hops provide a nice earthy and floral contrast to the cracker-like sweetness coming from locally grown malts. Late additions of First Gold hops give this beer a pleasant aroma reminiscent of orange marmalade, tangerine and magnolia. 5.1% ABV, 48 IBU.
