Chalice Brewing

Why We Brew What We Brew

Chalice’s brewing philosophy is rooted in the idea of continuous innovation while honoring the past and bringing lost styles and recipes back to light. We see it as stepping forward by looking back.

In the Pacific Northwest, we’re surrounded by a bounty of local products that support real flavors from real things. We cherish the beer brewing process and see little benefit in adding artificial ingredients—we let the quality ingredients shine.

Because of this, our beer will always taste like beer. We’re not afraid of using every flavor the world has to offer—but, at the end of production it better still taste like a beer. If it’s balanced, you should taste the yeast, the grain, and the hops.

We brew beers to style: guidelines were created by the collective brewing industry over time as a shared understanding of what beers should taste like. Even if Chalice brews with an additive like tea or fruit, the base beer underneath will still be to its root style.

Chalice Brewing loves being an Idaho brewery and will try and make the most locally sourced beers possible. If the ingredients aren’t in Idaho, they’ll be sourced from the Pacific Northwest before looking elsewhere. We believe that using local products is a more genuine experience and will bring our customers closer to home.
