Where did Daisy Cutter beer come from?

Answered by Phillip Nicastro

Daisy Cutter beer has an interesting origin story. It first came to be at our Lincoln Ave brewery, which holds a special place in our hearts as one of our earliest brewing locations. Back in 2009, we were experimenting with different beer styles and flavors, and Daisy Cutter quickly became a standout.

At the time, there weren’t many local pale ales that had the same impact and natural power as Daisy Cutter. It seemed that the market was lacking a pale ale that really packed a punch and left a lasting impression on beer enthusiasts. That’s where Daisy Cutter stepped in.

We initially released Daisy Cutter as a special limited edition bomber, thinking it would be a one-time thing. But to our surprise, it quickly gained popularity and caught fire among beer lovers. The demand for Daisy Cutter grew, and we realized that we had stumbled upon something special.

The name “Daisy Cutter” itself holds significance. It’s a term that has military origins, referring to a type of bomb that was used to clear large areas by creating a wide path of destruction. We found the name fitting for our beer, as it symbolizes the explosive flavor and impact it has on the palate.

Daisy Cutter is known for its hop-forward profile, boasting a vibrant and aromatic hop presence that instantly captivates the senses. It strikes a perfect balance between bitterness and drinkability, making it a go-to choice for craft beer enthusiasts who appreciate a hoppy yet approachable brew.

Since its humble beginnings as a limited release, Daisy Cutter has become a staple in our beer lineup. It has gained a loyal following and continues to be a fan favorite among both new and seasoned beer drinkers. Its success has paved the way for other pale ales in the market, and it has become a benchmark for what a great local pale ale should be.

Daisy Cutter beer came from our Lincoln Ave brewery as a result of our experimentation with different beer styles. Its explosive flavor, hop-forward profile, and perfect balance have made it a beloved beer among craft beer enthusiasts. Its initial success as a limited release led to its permanent place in our lineup, and it continues to be a standout in the world of pale ales.
