BIRTH OF A HERETIC

It all started with a neighbour sharing a homemade beer. His wife then bought him a Mr. Beer kit for Christmas. Jamil became obsessed with brewing the perfect beer and became a homebrew legend in the process by winning a first-place medal in every known beer, mead, and cider style category. He spent the next 15 years writing about beer with more than 100 articles and 500 hours of podcasts on The Brewing Network.

The next step was opening a brewery

A heretic is a person who practices heresy, and heresy is when you hold an opinion at odds with what is generally accepted. In a world where over 90% of beer drinkers believe mass market light lagers constitute the universe of beer, craft beer lovers are all heretics.

HERETIC EVIL COUSIN DIPA

This beer is a bold, in-your-face hop monster. It has a light, easy drinking malt character that allows the hops to stand out. The hop character in this beer is intentionally on the dank side; big, sticky, and aggressive. 

RateBeer: 96/100

HERETIC CARAMEL MOO - CHIATO MILK STOUT

Our milk stout has a rich smoothness that can only come from natural caramel and vanilla flavors. Caramel Moo-chiato is such a perfect balance of dark and sweet, you’ll want to keep drinking it until the cows come home.

HERETIC INCUBUS BBA IMPERIAL STOUT

This is our tribute to the delicious fusion of big, bold stout and big bold bourbon. 

RateBeer: 98/100

HERETIC YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE JUICE NEIIPA 

Big beers. Small beers. Crazy beers. Classic beers. Hazy beers. Nice. You have a passion and we really do appreciate that. But even so, plenty of extreme people still can’t handle the juice.

RateBeer: 92/100

HERETIC SHALLOW GRAVE PORTER 

This is a big, dark ale with a complex and rich chocolate and caramel malt character followed by a touch of warmth and light malt sweetness.

World Cup and GABF medal winner.

HERETIC EVIL TWIN RED IPA

Evil Twin has a rich malt character, without being overly sweet. It has a huge hop character, without being overly bitter. It is a great example of a bold, rich, balanced craft beer, without being heavy and hard to drink in quantity. 

RateBeer: 95/100

HERETIC CALIFORNIA DRY HOPPED IPA

Bold notes of California citrus come from generously dry hopping this refreshing brew with modern American hops.

HERETIC TORMENT BELGIAN STRONG DARK ALE 

Torment is a rich beer with lots of caramel, malt, dark fruit, and Belgian candi sugar notes. The luscious fruity character is full of caramel apples, candied pears, and chocolate covered oranges.
