BIG SKY – Lone Peak Brewery
& Taphouse owner and brewmaster Steve Nordahl knows a thing or two about
brewing beer. His interest, innocently, began in high school.
That’s
right, high school, as Nordahl by a twist of fate spent the years of 1984-86
studying in Belgium where the legal age of alcohol consumption is 16 and
drinking world-class beers is a cultural
cornerstone. He’d go on to be among the first 13 participants of University of
California, Davis’ first-ever Master Brewing Program.
The Sheepeater Bock, with
formidable 7.5 percent ABV, is a delicious beer to pair with the fall and
winter seasons. With little bitterness, and “meant to be a smooth drinking, elevated
alcohol, amber lager,” the beer gets its namesake from the Shoshone Tribe’s
legendary band of the Mountain Sheepeaters, boasting caramel, sweet notes and a
“clean lager characteristic.”
