Peculier Ales 'Old Mill' American Light Lager, Colorado

Old Mill by Peculier Ales is a light‑lager crafted with clarity, crispness, and refreshment in mind, an elegant nod to old‑school drinking while remaining decidedly modern. It presents an approachable and easy‑drinking profile, making it equally well suited to everyday pours or casual social gatherings.

Product Details:

• Style: American Light Lager
• ABV: 3.6%
• Production Volume: Small to moderate scale craft‑brewery release; not mass‑market

Sensory Description:

On pouring, you’ll observe a pale golden hue with bright clarity and a clean white head. The aroma offers soft grain‑malt sweetness, subtle corn or rice adjuncts, and a whisper of noble hops, creating a gently floral or herbal note. On the palate, the beer is remarkably light in body yet well‑balanced, crisp, and driving forward with minimal residual sweetness. Flavors lean toward clean malt character, think fresh‑cut straw and light honey, tempered by a faint grassy‑hop bite and a dry, refreshing finish. The mouthfeel is thin to medium‑light, brisk and thirst‑quenching with minimal lingering aftertaste, making this an ideal warm‑weather or session option.

Brewer’s Background:

Peculier Ales was founded in the summer of 2020 in downtown Windsor, Colorado, within the historic Windsor Mill building, originally built in 1899. The brewery emphasizes a crafted‑with‑purpose approach, choosing its name intentionally to reflect something “set apart” from the traditionally accepted standards. Their brew team is committed to a diverse portfolio, including clean lagers such as Old Mill alongside a robust barrel program, sours, and hop‑forward ales. Though still growing, Peculier has already made its mark as a Northern Colorado destination for craft beer enthusiasts and families alike.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve Old Mill very cold, ideally about 38–42 °F—to emphasize its crisp, refreshing character. Pour into a tulip or pilsner glass to preserve its carbonation and clarity. It’s an excellent pairing with lighter fare such as grilled fish tacos, garden salads with citrus vinaigrette, or even a classic burger with mild cheese and crisp lettuce. It also makes a fantastic choice for relaxed afternoon socializing or as a clean, no‑fuss companion for patio time or game day. Fans of finely brewed session lagers or those seeking an easy‑going, high‑drinkability beer will find this release from Peculier particularly appealing.
