5th Anniversary Project with Midnight Sun Brewing Co

Midnight Sun Brewing Co

Tales of the Midnight Sun Brewery had drifted down the coast; shrouded whispers of the glory of the brews concocted on the hollowed ground of the last frontier. We sought them out, but save for once a year at the Toronado Barleywine Festival-which it must be noted we failed to arrive early enough to encounter such before mentioned beers-their brews continued to allude us; the fabled unicorn beer.

One afternoon, not much different than any other, a lone brewer named Ben wandered into the City Beer Store during his San Francisco Beer Week tour. He was a thirsty traveler from the land of wonder, and a fine brewer playing for the Midnight Sun team. On that fortunate day the unicorn beer ceased to be a mythical beer beyond our grasp, the unicorn beer had become a reality.

This past July we had the opportunity to travel to the land of wooly beasts and enchanting landscapes, and along with the wonderful “brew crew” of Midnight Sun we crafted a unicorn beer of our own.
