From day one, BRU’s founder, brewer, and chef Ian Clark approached his beers with a culinary mindset. When he first crafted this flagship beer, his wife, Bryce, dubbed his beers “chef beers,” or ingredient-focused beers brewed with spices, herbs, roots, and unexpected adjuncts. “I like to take the things that I taste in beer and accentuate those flavors,” Clark says. “The Cascade hops in an American IPA are citrusy and piney so I added freshly zested lemons and juniper berries to bring out those flavors.”
