"Drink globally locally! At The Intrepid Sojourner Beer Project, beer tells a story. While many brewers come from science & engineering backgrounds, head brewer Andrew Moore is an adventurer, an explorer, a storyteller. He fell in love with craft beer when he moved to Boulder for grad school in Classical archaeology. He began homebrewing as a distraction from homework when he wasn’t on digs in the Mediterranean & eventually decided his love for beer was a perfect way to explore his passion for travel, history, & culture.
We’ve seen a great expansion of the concept of what beer can be in the last generation, but we know beer can still become so much more. Andrew has expanded his repertoire beyond flavors influenced by his digs in Turkey, the birthplace of his stout with Turkish coffee & his hefeweizen inspired by the apricots he’d pick straight from the field during lunch breaks on digs. The Intrepid Sojourner thoughtfully sources spices & herbs for flavors inspired by cuisines the world over – from the peated malts of Scottish whiskies to Mexican chocolate & horchata ingredients; to sweet Italian basil, Thai basil, purple basil; to chai & chamomile; to lavender, garlic & sage; to cardamom, cubeb pepper, & blade mace; to pears, Moroccan medjool dates, & roasted Palisade peaches from right here in Colorado – enhancing flavors inherent to indigenous beer styles to both fascinate the beer expert & simultaneously make beer more accessible to craft-brew skeptics."
