Welcome to
Bewilder Brewing Co., a house that’s clearly divided, and we’re not talking politics. It’s a place where one side is heavily weighted pro-ale and the other is sticking to their guns with the classic lager team. Now don’t get us wrong because we’re clearly both right, most of the time, as both beer categories offer delicious variations within each of its collective silos. When we heard about
Bewilder’s Oat Pale Lager, just the simple name perked our ears. What could this intriguing brew be? The lager makes us think we are in for a crisp and clean brew, with the best of what’s there, an absence of noise. The pale portion leads us to believe there may be a little play on the India Pale Lager, which is also a favorite in our household because it seems to satisfy both of our palates nicely. Now what about this oat component? It’s something that makes our minds swirl in beer-related madness but also helps us rationalize bringing together the different poles of the craft beer world.
