Unity Bridge
West Coast IPA
Inspired by one of Jeff Torzala’s favorite IPAs that emphasizes balance over intensity. This brew has a clean malt bill blending 2-row Pale Ale and Pilsner malt, along with some Caramel thrown in to develop a classic copper appearance. For the hop profile, we chose Magnum for bitterness balanced by Chinook, Simcoe, and Centennial for an aromatic and flavor blend of pine, resin, and citrus.
THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME
Known as Milwaukee’s “Mason-Dixon Line,” 16th St.Viaduct Bridge separated the city’s black residents on the North Side with the city’s white residents on the South Side. On August 28th, 1967, Father Groppi and the NAACP Youth Council marched across it into Kosciuszko Park to protest housing discrimination. This action and subsequent protests resulted in the enactment of open housing ordinances in ’67 and ’68.
