In September of 2021, Temperance Beer Co. launched Scarce Goods®, a new label and concept: brew very small batches, available only at the brewery, in styles not yet undertaken by Temperance. Using a new pilot brew system and channeling their creative thirst, brewers Mike VanCamp and Connor Scanlan put together a list of beers they wanted to brew for Scarce Goods, including a couple Fruited Saisons and Sours, Peach Witbier, Hefeweizen, Berliner Weisse, and a Kölsch.
On Friday, August 4th, 2023, they will release their first batch of the late-summer lineup: A California Common, a truly American beer style with toasted caramel malt flavors balanced with hop bitterness). Following the Cali Common will be a Pilsner, an “Island Lager” (brewed with lime and coconut), a Cold IPA, and a Belgian-style Single.
“In addition to classic beer styles, we’re exploring the Cold IPA, a more recent style that really is still evolving,” VanCamp said. “We’re playing with the way we can use yeast to amp up the hop aromas we’re looking for.”
“I can’t wait for the Island Lager, personally,” says Josh Gilbert, founder of the brewery. “Our goal with that one is to create a beer that is the perfect beach companion, obviously, but in a way that is new, memorable, and enticing.”
Scarce Goods is available on tap and 16 oz. 4-pack cans, only at the Temperance Beer Co.
