We are excited to share our new core brew lineup for 2023!
Our crew here at 14th Star loves enjoying a fresh pint after a day of brewing, and the word balance means a lot to us. Not just in our daily lives, but within the offerings we designate as our core beers across Vermont and the region we distribute in. The overall destination for our portfolio has always been about that word, and we have been operating with this mindset throughout 2022 and early into 2023.
Overhauling and evolving our portfolio was critical back in 2021 as we were Wayfinding our new path which included telling our story and laying the building blocks for the next decade. That all starts with some good friends, and we have a handful of besties.
The classic double IPA Tribute, the beer that was part of the double revolution!
Our celebration of all things Citra, Citranade is the hazy Double IPA you all love, now in a more vibrant can!
Our Hazy. Juicy. Crushable. CodeName Session IPA, features some fun new color additions across the can.
Wayfinder Pilsner launched in July 2022 and continues to receive wonderful feedback across Vermont and beyond.
Now, our soon-to-be world-famous, Mexican Style Lager. We knew it was time to take this house favorite out for a full-time ride and to join the core team!
So, let’s welcome the newest member. Our NEW Mexican Style Lager is HERE! Look for it on tap at the 14th Star Brewery full-time, and across Vermont over the upcoming months. 16 oz. cans roll off the line in a few weeks debuting in March. The brewery under Prescott, Andrew, Kendall and Sam have produced, and enjoyed this beer for years at the Taproom, and at our good friends over at El Gato in Essex and Burlington. I was introduced to it last year, and was immediately planning for this to be a larger part of our 2023 and beyond plan. This category is important for us to enter, and it adds another layer of balance within our modern portfolio. We are all proud to offer this Mexican Style Lager Beer, brewed right here in Vermont.
Our portfolio extends well beyond this, with our seasonals, heritage, pilot program, partnership beers and smaller releases you can find on tap and canned in the Taproom. These batches are as important to the foundation here, and are meant to compliment the core offerings here that have been curated to touch every palette, and occasion.
While we are excited to build upon new opportunities, the mission remains the same: being a craft brewery known for producing a wide variety of world-class beers, raising awareness, and supporting local organizations and various charities, all while allowing new exploration to inspire our future path. But always remembering our commitments to brewing quality, community involvement, sustainability, fostering a positive culture, an “all are welcome here” mentality, creating safe environments for our staff and guests, and service to our brand.
