    Triptych Brewing

    Savoy, Illinois, United States

    A triptych (/'triptik/) is a set of three associated artistic works intended to be enjoyed together. In the Middle Ages, triptychs were one of the few ways people could enjoy art and often, a pilgrimage was involved in seeing them. We wanted a brewery name that above all emphasized the art of brewing beer. Since visiting our brewery requires a pilgrimage off the beaten path and since beer is an artistic combination of three main ingredients, we figured that the name Triptych was a perfect fit.
