Why Empyrean?

Since the dawn of time, all civilizations have had two things in common. They gazed skyward to marvel at the secrets of the cosmos, and they made beer. Myths and legends were born as mortals sipped beer and watched comets blaze across the evening sky and stars dance throughout the heavens.

The ancients believed paradise existed at the highest point in the universe, a fiery sphere called the Empyrean. Inspired by these tales, we set out to infuse every batch of our handcrafted ales with our unique notion of paradise. As you contemplate the sublime beauty of the world, enjoy a freshly brewed Empyrean beer and discover your utopia in every sip.
