There are some accidental encounters that seem pre-arranged. That is when we encounter a soul carrying within it two seemingly opposing currents: one side is the solid foundation of a thousand-year tradition, the other side is the desire for freedom of a boundless imagination.

Coolship Lager Americana It is such a fateful encounter – where the classic sophistication of Europe meets the liberal spirit of America, together to write a captivating love song. This is not just a drink, but an experience of magical harmony – where each sip of beer is a prelude to a world of the most delicate emotions.

1. The Prelude of the Freaks

There is a story that begins with ancient Latin words, Ordinem Eccentrici Coctores – “The Society of Eccentric Bartenders”. It’s not just a name, it’s a proud declaration, a promise of unconventional taste journeys. Hidden behind that mysterious shell is Ben Neidhart, the artist carries in his veins the blood of a family with a long tradition of brewing beer from far away Germany. Perhaps, the crystallization of those three generations has risen, urging him to write a new chapter for himself?

And then, in the year 2014, in the peaceful town of Oxford (Connecticut, USA), OEC Brewing cried out, like a strange symphony resounding for the first time in the world of popular beer. From the very first notes, that symphony had a very unique melody: specializing in enchanting mixed-fermentation beers and sour beers in the classic European style. They did not brew beer, they breathed life into wooden barrels, letting bacteria and natural yeast dance a slow, complex, and romantic waltz. The heart of that music was Coolship - a shallow, wide copper pan that caught the drops of night dew, a time machine that brought the flavor back to the earliest, purest days of the art of brewing.

2. Lager Beer in the Heart of America

OEC uses the most traditional of techniques – Coolship - to marinate for a girl Lager modern, gentle and lovable. It is a gentle revolution, bringing an ancient method to light, so that anyone can touch, feel and be passionate about it.

“Americana” – the name sounds like a love song about America. Perhaps, it is a whisper about the native ingredients, the heavy hop fields of the new land, replacing the familiar European flavor, to create a unique identity, a new and strange flavor that is still lingering. This is not just a can of beer, but a story about the intersection, about the desire to bring the soul of classical art to the lips of the modern generation, inviting us to raise a glass and experience something different, something profound.
