Great Standalone Beer,
Pairs Extremely Well with Food

So what’s 1947 taste like?

Since 1947 represents a bold year, we couldn’t just have a beer that tasted ordinary. We handcrafted a light bodied lager with great rich character that is reflective of its name. The beer is flavorful on the front end and is specially brewed to have a smooth finish.

And we didn’t stop there. We also dared to think differently. We pushed beyond the limits of a great beer and wanted to create the perfect beer that would complement food with a little kick - because sometimes you need a little kick to accomplish great things! And our palettes were tired of the same old, tentative responses.

So take your pick—Indian, Asian, BBQ, Mexican fare. 1947 offers the perfect pairing for food with a little spice to it.

So much so that renowned celebrity chefs from around the country are using it in and with their recipes.
