Brewing Process

Horse Thief Hollow beer starts with the finest fresh milled barley. Our hops are both sourced locally and around the world, and yeasts are delivered specifically for each beer. Extreme detail is given in hand crafting each of our beers, and we never use adjuncts or cheap ingredients. Here’s a quick breakdown of how we make our beer.

Milling

Milling cracks the grains, making it easier for them to absorb water in the next stage of the brewing process.

Mash Tun

Mashing combines the milled grain with water & heats it in a mash tun. This water will extract sugars from the malt (milled grain).

Kettle

Boiling the malt extracts, also called wort, ensures sterility. It’s during this process that we stir in hops to add bitterness, flavor, & aroma to the beer.

Fermentation

After the wort is cooled & aerated—usually with sterile air—we add yeast. The yeast converts the sugars in the wort into alcohol.

Condtioning

At this stage, we cool the beer to around freezing. This process settles the yeast and slows fermentation. The beer continues to mature, clarify, and develop its flavors.
