Sensory Description:

‘Inhabited Form’ pours golden and slightly hazy, hinting at the oat-rich body within. On the nose, it exudes bright aromas of dried kiwi, lime zest, and honeydew melon. The palate is clean and crisp, yet lush, with a layered hop character that brings citrus brightness and tropical fruit charm. Soft carbonation and the subtle influence of oak lend it a rounded, elegant mouthfeel, finishing dry and satisfyingly refreshing.

Brewer's  Background:

Founded in 2015 along Denver’s iconic Colfax Avenue, Cerebral Brewing has become synonymous with methodical craftsmanship and creative exploration. Co-founders Sean Buchan and Dan McGuire envisioned a brewery that approached beer with scientific rigor while embracing artistic innovation. From their QA/QC lab established on day one to their celebrated barrel-aging and foeder programs, Cerebral pushes boundaries while maintaining consistency and quality. Now expanded to a larger facility in the Aurora Cultural Arts District and a forthcoming taproom in West Highlands, Cerebral remains at the cutting edge of craft brewing in Colorado.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve cold in a clean lager glass to highlight its aromatic complexity and soft texture. Pair with citrus-dressed seafood, Vietnamese banh mi, or a bright goat cheese salad to mirror the beer’s fruit-forward and crisp profile.

Cerebral’s ‘Inhabited Form’ is not just a beer—it’s a thoughtful conversation between hops, oak, and brewer, made for curious palates and vibrant gatherings.
