About Us
We have created our ideal Maine Tankpub, inspired by the Tankpubs of the Czech Republic. The pouring ritual, which includes a precise method to achieve the perfect foam, enhances the drinking experience and showcases the lager's qualities. Additionally, the cultural significance of beer in the Czech Republic fosters a strong communal atmosphere and encourages social interaction in local pubs, making it a central part of daily life, whereas American beer culture can sometimes prioritize quantity or novelty over tradition and consistency. This focus on heritage, quality, and community often gives Czech beer culture a unique and cherished character.
At Sacred Profane Brewing, we are dedicated to crafting exceptional beers that honor the rich tapestry of Czech brewing history while embracing the philosophy of the sacred and profane. With roots tracing back to the medieval Bohemia, our brewing methods celebrate centuries-old traditions of meticulous craftsmanship, where every sip is a reverence to the artisans who came before us. Yet, we also believe in the joyous, rebellious spirit of brewing—the "profane" aspect that challenges conventions and invites innovation. Our beers reflect this duality: thoughtfully brewed, yet playfully crafted, offering a transcendent experience that honors both the sacred rituals of brewing and the liberating thrill of discovery. Join us in raising a glass to the past while exploring new horizons—where every liter tells a story of heritage and audacity.
Brewing Philosophy
Brewing only two lagers significantly enhances quality as it allows for a concentrated focus on each brew. This specialization enables our brewers to refine their recipes, optimize brewing techniques, and maintain consistency through meticulous attention to detail. With fewer variables to manage, our brewers can better control every aspect of the process, from ingredient selection to fermentation, resulting in superior flavor profiles. Additionally, limited production encourages experimentation and innovation within our specific styles, fostering a deeper understanding of the brewing craft and ultimately delivering a more outstanding product to consumers.
