Each autumn, we brew Twilight of the Idols, our winter porter with a touch of cacao nibs, coffee, and cinnamon, and condition it on vanilla beans. Conceived in 2009 with age-old friend Ryan Witter-Merithew while brewing in Denmark, this tradition continues. Its name is inspired by the title of one of the last known texts written by Friedrich Nietzsche, a guiding voice within the entire length of our journey.
