Introducing The Minus Times, a new series of lagers inspired by past ideas, shared together in the present. 

The Minus Times was an elusive literary magazine published in the 90’s and 2000’s by Hunter Kennedy, distributed by Pavement’s first record label, Drag City. A collection of stories, art and poetry. In a sense, these were open letters to strangers and misfits. A magazine Todd fondly remembers and was inspired by. So, we decided to pay tribute with a series of special lagers we’ll brew over the course of 2023. These lagers take time to brew, age and come together. A past idea that becomes the present, to be shared in the moment. An homage to where we started.

Our first installment of the series is a 4.9% Danish Lager. This beer came to be as we reminisced on a trip to Copenhagen back in 2019. A few of us travelled there for a beer festival, and during the trip we had a few free moments to explore the city. So one day, we boarded a small canal boat to navigate Copenhagen’s famous waterways, drinking draft Carlsberg on board while learning of Danish folklore. A memory we’re sure to hold on to, and one that gives insight into the art on this label. 

We wanted this lager to be based on the beers we drank on this trip, so we incorporated ingredients such as Weyermann Bohemian Pilsner malt, Hallertau Hersbrucker & Czech Saaz hops in the early stages of the process. For fermentation, we utilized a Bohemian lager yeast said to be from Carlsberg brewery in Copenhagen. The outcome, we feel, honors the Danish style of lager. A bit spicy, with herbal and floral notes and a backbone expressive of the Bohemian malt we used. As it’s the first of the series, we eagerly look forward to sharing it with you, & hope you enjoy. Cans are available now at the brewery, online for pickup, & for direct ship to select states.

The art on the can was created by Alyssa McCabe [@mccabedesign], who you may recognize from being the recent winner of our #foamcanvascontest. Alyssa is a designer formerly based in Burly, now in DC designing for Momofuku. Thank you for the first art piece of the series, Alyssa, it came out wonderfully.
