We brewed this beer in collaboration with the students of Hocking College’s “Fermentation 2200” class on March 27th, 2020. We really let them take the reins on this recipe, and they conceptualized a brew that spoke to us as brewers & lovers of simple, elegant Belgian-style beers.

We started brewing a 100% Ohio-grown Bavarian-Style Hefeweizen during the height of the Covid pandemic, and called it “Mask Up, Yo!” to help spread the message of masking for public safety.
