The lager train is coming, folks. Summer is the season of sunlight, but there are plenty of nights sprinkled between these hot days when cool air settles in. Idle Mind is one of our favorite lagers when winding down at the end of the day. Pouring a glowing copper color, a historic malt bill conjures notes of freshly baked bread and light caramel, balanced with a kiss of noble spice. Pour one as the evening cools, put your feet up and your phone down, and let your mind go idle for a while.

Idle Mind is our Vienna Lager. Flavor does not have to sacrifice crispness and drinkability by any means. This beer’s toasty character and hints of caramel come from the use of Vienna malt. These flavors cascade over the palate before dissipating into a soft finish. This style found a new life when brewers in Mexico adapted its recipe as a facet of their amber lagers. It’s an incredible style with historic European roots and a secondary seal of approval from our crispy connoisseurs to the south.

August means our minds begin to drink more robust, full-flavored lagers, bridging our past with our present. Idle Mind is one of those beers, and it's magnificent. This traditional Vienna Lager pours a golden amber color with notes of caramel, biscuit, and honey. Noble hops balance this sweetness, and it finishes with a touch of spice that invites another sip. Brewing beers like this is a pleasure, especially when drunk as intended; with friends and family.
