Something Atypical

Recently, somewhere hidden deep inside Thomas Creek Brewery, our brewers began tinkering with the idea of creating something more unique, something to make people stand up and take notice. Tom wasn’t satisfied with the incredible success of Up the Creek (our 12.5% ABV extreme IPA), nor was he satisfied with inventing the Belgian-Style Porter (Dirty Monk). No, something else needed to be done to really drive home the point, “Don’t Be Typical.” Then, it happened; one day the 3.5 bbl system was free of test batches, there was time in the production schedule, and extra grain in storage. That initial brewing of Conduplico Immundus Monachus, an imperial version of Dirty Monk marked the beginning of what we have come to call our “Atypical Series,” a series a beers that will be wholly unique, but still incredibly delicious. Soon after, Assistant Brewer Matt Manthe’s Key lime and pink peppercorn Saison, Houlbon et Poivre, was in production. Although the small brewhouse had to return to its regular duties for a short time, several uncommon beers are slated to join the first two in the series, both of which are available at the brewery. We hope to release these beers to the public very soon in larger 750 mL corked bottles. Be on the lookout!
