The everyday pale base — first release malting now.

Our fully-modified American pale base on Genie 2-row barley: clean, bready, single-infusion friendly. Built to be the 90% of your grist you never have to think about.

Brewing it

  • Fully modified: single infusion at 148–156°F, done. Low end for a dry, crisp beer; high end for body.
  • Unlike our intentionally under-modified Czech base (Bohemian Mesa), this one asks for no mash gymnastics.
  • Designed as the workhorse: pair it with any of our specialty malts.

Styles it was built for

  • American Pale Ale / IPA — 90–100% base; clean canvas for hops.
  • West Coast Pils / Cold IPA — crisp and pale with enzymes to spare.
  • Amber / Red Ale — base here, crystal malts on top.
  • House beer anything — if the recipe says "2-row", this is the bag.

Genie 2-row barley, Arizona-grown, malted in Queen Creek.
