If you’re ever in Bend, be sure to stop by Monkless. There, in the sea of hop-obsessed breweries, you’ll find this Belgian-inspired crew. They’ve helped turn American palates on to the spiced, malty, candi-syrup laced flavors of beers like Peppercorn Imperial Wit and Capitulation Belgian Tripel. And sure, you might wonder how a brewery that doesn’t make a single IPA can survive in a state known for them. But that’s what makes these award-winners so special. Because when fans look to mix it up, they reach for Monkless’s Meet Your Maker Strong Dark Ale or The Trinity Belgian Tripel. Or the hard-to-pronounce, but easy to drink Shepplekofeggan Wit. Hype: A pantry of medals from GABF, Oregon Beer Awards, and the Best of Craft Beer Awards!
