Brewer In Chief
Tyrell Foster, former military officer at West Point Military Academy, New York, started his passion for beer more than a decade ago. He became head brewer of the academy’s brewery, named The Kicking Mule Brewery, which was run by the chemical engineering department. In addition to his bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering, he also received his full brewing diploma from the Institute of Brewing and Distilling.
Our story is all about beer and its significance in human civilization. Agriculture first led to the beginning of civilizations. With farming of grains and other crops possible, humankind could settle and build up without having to constantly roam the lands for sustenance. The ability to mass-produce grains like barley and wheat, coupled with usage of yeast, led to the discovery of food items like bread.
But grain and yeast are also the building blocks of—you guessed it—beer. According to historical records, beer could have been as important as bread for early civilizations, if not more so. Those days, beer was treasured for its nutrition, for use in ancient rituals and being a key part of social gatherings.
We’re bringing beer back to its honoured position at the dawn of civilization. Civilization beer builds communities and strengthen relationships by providing amazing classic styles and promoting discussions and relationships.
Civilization – it
all began with beer
Our Logo
Globe: It is our belief that it is with beer that we will bring the world together.
Grain: The primary ingredient in beer. It is with barley and wheat humans started to settle down into communities to farm these grains.

Brewers Alchemy Star – Zoigl Star: Not to be confused with the Star of David, this symbol scattered across many brewerys throughout german, is a combination of the symbols for Earth (which Barley is grown from), Water (the wort), Fire (to boil the beer), Air (the gas the carbonates it). Combined they represent balance of the elements within beer.
