At Monkey Town Brewing & Restaurant, crafting exceptional beer is not just a passion; it’s an art form. From selecting the finest ingredients to meticulously honing each recipe, our brewing process is a labor of love. In this blog, we invite you to take a behind-the-scenes look at Monkey Town’s craft beer brewing process and discover what sets our brews apart from the rest.

Selecting Quality Ingredients:

It all starts with quality ingredients. At Monkey Town, we source the freshest hops, malt, yeast, and water to ensure that each batch of beer is of the highest quality. Our brewers carefully select and combine these ingredients to create unique and flavorful brews that capture the essence of our craft.

Mashing In:

Once the ingredients are assembled, the brewing process begins with mashing in. This involves mixing the malt with hot water to activate enzymes that break down starches into fermentable sugars. The resulting liquid, known as wort, forms the base of our beer and provides the foundation for its flavor profile.

Boiling and Hopping:

Next, the wort is boiled and hops are added to impart bitterness, flavor, and aroma to the beer. Our brewers carefully time and adjust the boiling process to achieve the perfect balance of hop character in each brew. Whether it’s a crisp IPA or a rich stout, our beers are crafted with precision and attention to detail.

Fermentation:

After boiling, the wort is cooled and transferred to fermentation tanks, where yeast is added to initiate the fermentation process. Over the course of several days or weeks, the yeast converts sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide, resulting in the formation of alcohol and the characteristic flavors and aromas of the beer.

Conditioning and Packaging:

Once fermentation is complete, the beer undergoes conditioning, where it is allowed to mature and develop its flavors further. Depending on the style, some beers may be aged in barrels or undergo additional dry-hopping to enhance their complexity. Finally, the beer is packaged into kegs, cans, or bottles, ready to be enjoyed by our customers.

Quality Control:

Throughout the brewing process, our brewers conduct rigorous quality control checks to ensure that each batch of beer meets our high standards. From monitoring fermentation temperatures to tasting samples at various stages of production, we take pride in delivering consistently excellent beer to our customers.

At Monkey Town Brewing & Restaurant, our craft beer brewing process is a labor-intensive and meticulously controlled endeavor. From selecting quality ingredients to conducting rigorous quality control checks, every step is taken to ensure that our beers are of the highest quality. We invite you to experience the fruits of our labor and enjoy a pint of our handcrafted brews. Cheers!
