Imagine a pint of wheat beer. Unfiltered and cloudy, right? Non-hopped, tart, perhaps garnished with fruit wedges to sweeten and soften the edge?
Not always.
Elevator Brewing Company is pleased to introduce Mogabi, the newest addition to Elevator’s already stellar fleet of brews. Mogabi is a hoppy American wheat with bite, handcrafted from Masterbrewer Vic Shiltz’s own recipe.
The moniker? It’s actually Schiltz’s nickname.
Mogabi, brewed with Amarillo hops, has been in production for the past six months. It is now a regular beer available on tap at Elevator Brewing Company, replacing Coal Porter on the regular tap rotation.
Dick Stevens, Elevator owner and operator, accredits Mogabi’s bold flavor to “the spirit of experimentation” shared by Shiltz and Brewer Mark Beery, who have been working together for two years.
“With Mark, Vic has a counterpart,” Stevens said. “I try to give them the freedom to do things they wouldn’t have done before.”
With that freedom comes creativity – and innovation.
“This type of wheat beer is a purely American invention,” Stevens said. “We really live in Beer Nirvana. Can you think of another country that has this selection of beers?”
