Into the Wilderness
special collab BEER
Some paths appear once you slow down
Into the Wilderness is a British-style Extra Special Bitter built with restraint and intention.
This collaboration brings together classic English brewing tradition and the grounded sensibility of the Midwest. We brewed it with Luke Gulbranson — actor, model, and Bravo alum — raised in Northern Minnesota, where time outdoors and simple ingredients still matter. The beer is finished with Luke’s own maple syrup, used not for sweetness, but to add depth and quiet richness to the malt backbone.
It pours amber, with notes of toasted bread, light toffee, and dried fruit, balanced by earthy English hops. The maple stays in the background — subtle, structural, and intentional.
This is a beer that rewards slowing down.
