ABOUT US & ABOUT BEER

In America, we are an amalgamation of people, cultures and traditions.

 

Often a brewery’s portfolio will center around one brewing culture and country, such as specializing in German lagers, English ales or one of the many regional styles from Belgium (northern monastic beer, Flanders reds, Senne Valley lambic or Wallonian farmhouse saisons).

 

A different story and tradition comes with all of 13thMoon Brouwerij’s historically inspired beers—recipes will be crafted following time-honored traditions from various cultures that were popular before the advent of industrial brewing, drawing from the history of beer as a whole.

 

Like paintings from different eras created with different methods and philosophies, each offering will be approached differently while staying undeniably a 13thMoon Brouwerij beer. Giving a nod to these historic styles with an artistic eye will keep the beer standing out and the drinker wanting more.

OUR LEGACY
& VISON

7_edited.png

Inspired by the heritage of iconic breweries like Belgium’s Westvleteren and Cantillon, or the Netherlands' De Molen, 13thMoon Brouwerij follows a carefully crafted limited-release schedule. Each release becomes a rare occasion, designed to evoke excitement and enhance appreciation of the beer’s unique character. This approach lends a sense of mystery and exclusivity, similar to the cult appeal found at breweries like Russian River, The Alchemist, Hill Farmstead, and Jester King.

​

Since the early concepts of 13thMoon Brouwerij were born nearly a decade ago, founder Ari J Moss has anticipated shifts in beer culture—predicting the surge in appreciation for specialized brews over mass-produced options. As craft beer culture has evolved from neighborhood dive bars to dedicated bottle shops and rotating-tap establishments, 13thMoon has awaited the right moment to offer a selection that meets the curiosity of the most discerning palates.

​

Today, the American craft scene is flourishing with an educated audience eager to explore beyond the usual IPA. 13thMoon Brouwerij targets this niche market, aiming to reach a growing community of enthusiasts—casual sippers, seasoned professionals, and self-proclaimed "beer geeks" alike. These connoisseurs, often the first to visit new breweries and collect rare bottles, form the foundation of the brand’s dedicated following. Their passion not only sustains the brewery but also fuels the broader culture through their shared recommendations, cellar collections, and active involvement in beer networks.

​

By connecting with these knowledgeable pioneers and tastemakers, 13thMoon Brouwerij sets the stage for a journey that reaches beyond the glass—inviting every drinker to share in the full spectrum of our craft.
