From the record
Summary
Fiercely dedicated to Belgian-style ales, routinely sweeping national awards despite ignoring the West Coast IPA craze. Beer lineup read from dageraadbrewing.com/beers, 2026-08-04. The source page lists no ABV figures and does not mark year-round vs seasonal; the statuses here reflect the brewery's standing lineup and should be confirmed before being cited as fact.
A summary written during research. The sourced facts are in the sections below.
Tally’s Take
A fiercely dedicated Belgian-style sanctuary. They ignore the IPA craze to sweep national awards with world-class ales.
