SIMPLE

Belgian-inspired pale ale with Glacier hops

Simple:
American and German pilsner malts,
English caramel malt.
CBC’s house Belgian yeast.
One single, simple hop varietal, Glacier.

Heavily late-hopped in the kettle, this Belgian-inspired pale ale trades the common American hop notes of citrus, grapefruit, and pine for a more earthy, grassy, peppery hop character.

Super dry on the palate, with a clean maltiness and fruit and spice notes from our special yeast. Long, lingering hops through the finish line. Simple.

Testimonials

  • Beer + consistency = awesome. CBC had great beer the first time "micros" were trendy (mid-90s), great beer after the bubble burst, and it still has great beer now that "craft beer" is trendy again.

  • As a budding beer snob, their beers are to die for. I like the dark ones, and everything I've ever had here has left me quite pleased. You really can't go wrong, no matter what you order.
