## About

The Troubled Monk is a whimsical reference to the long forgotten passion of a young brewer who joyfully crafted excellent beers through the alchemy of fermentation. He made his beers with both passion and pride; much to the bewilderment of his devout peers. They thought of his single minded pursuit of great beer, and his eager sharing of it with the local villagers as a sign of being Troubled.
 
We too strive to make excellent handcrafted beer with the same enthusiasm as this Troubled Monk from the past. What his peers thought was Troubling, we consider to be Trailblazing.
