Sometimes it seems our lives are spent fighting the current as we make our way upstream, but sometimes it’s best to jump in your kayak and go where the river takes you. Drift is First Magnitude’s dark, malt-focused beer. It is a robust English Mild that is full of malt flavor, but still has a medium body and can be fully enjoyed in warmer weather.

Drift is brewed with American two-row pale malt as a base and has Crystal 20, Munich, Brown, Aromatic, Chocolate and Black Patent malts for a complex malt profile. Warrior hops are used for bittering and Hallertau Mittelfruh adds a subtle hop character. British Ale yeast gives it just a hint of fruity esters and a well-rounded flavor that will have you asking for another pour.
