Konstruct Brewing’s Dunlap Broadside Cherry Wheat: A Taste of History and Innovation
At Konstruct Brewing, we take pride in blending tradition with innovation, and our Dunlap Broadside Cherry Wheat is the perfect example of how we inspire curiosity through our beer. Released for July 4th, this wheat ale not only celebrates American independence but also pays tribute to a historic moment that helped shape the nation.
The beer’s namesake, the Dunlap Broadside, refers to the first printed copies of the Declaration of Independence. On the night of July 4, 1776, John Dunlap, a Philadelphia printer, worked tirelessly to produce around 200 copies of the Declaration to spread the message of liberty and independence. These documents, which came to be known as the Dunlap Broadsides, were sent out to colonies and military units, rallying support for the cause of freedom. Today, only 26 of these broadsides are known to exist, making them a rare and treasured piece of American history. Much like Dunlap’s bold endeavor to share the Declaration, our beer aims to offer something unique and memorable with every sip.
Dunlap Broadside Cherry Wheat is brewed in the spirit of creativity and curiosity, using cherries to add a vibrant twist to a classic wheat beer. Wheat beers are known for their smooth, approachable character, but by incorporating cherries into the recipe, we take the familiar and make it intriguing. The cherries add a subtle tartness and a sweet, fruity complexity that balances perfectly with the light, refreshing nature of the wheat ale. The result is a beer that is easy to enjoy but offers layers of flavor that invite drinkers to savor the experience.
As part of our mission to inspire curiosity, we encourage our community to try new things, explore flavors, and engage with the stories behind our beers. Dunlap Broadside Cherry Wheat is more than just a beer; it’s a celebration of history, innovation, and the adventurous spirit that defines our brewery. Whether you’re a seasoned beer lover or new to the world of craft brews, this release invites you to connect with history while enjoying something deliciously different.
So, next time you’re at Konstruct Brewing, raise a glass to independence, creativity, and the joy of discovering something new. Cheers!
