Thoth

When the final journey begins and the heart of a deceased is weighed against the feather of truth (Ma’at), he stands ready: Thoth, the ibis-headed god of wisdom, magic, and science.

He is the divine scribe who keeps the record of the court of the dead. No detail escapes him, no judgment is passed without his cool, analytical recording. As a moon god, he brings light into the darkness of the afterlife and orders chaos with logic and reason. He is the inventor of hieroglyphs and the master of chronology – the epitome of intellectual sharpness.

The Beer

For the sharpest mind of the Egyptian pantheon, we chose a beer style that requires modern brewing science: A Cold IPA.

This style is a technical finesse, entirely in the spirit of Thoth. We used a classic bottom-fermenting yeast, but let it work at warmer (top-fermenting) temperatures. The result is a beer that is as clear and precise as a mathematical formula, but with the fruity soul of an ale.

To continue the Egyptian agricultural tradition, we added flaked corn to this brew. These ensure a lean body and a pleasant, light sweetness. Thoth is a crisp, hop-forward beer that fits perfectly into spring – refreshingly logical and magically good.

To some it is magic. To some it is science. I see no difference.
