Pryes Brewing - Minneapolis, MN8/10/2023 Get to know your brewer @pryesbrewing and @idyllforestartisanales.
Meet Jeremy Pryes. He’s the founder, head brewer, and creative genius at Pryes Brewing and Idyll Forest Artisan Ales. • Pryes first opened in Minnetonka in 2012 under a dual proprietorship with Lucid Brewing. This allowed Pryes to use their equipment while supplying their own malt, hops and yeast. They brewed with @badweatherbrew, @inboundbrewco and @badgerhillbeer as a kind of “brewery incubator” program. Four top MN breweries came out of Lucid’s facility! Pryes, as you know it now, opened its doors in 2017. • Jeremy was a home brewer (beer, ciders, mead) for 12 years before getting his brewing degree at the American Brewers Guild. He’s now been brewing professionally for 11 years. • The first beer he brewed at Pryes was Miraculum, their flagship Midwest IPA—first designed at Lucid in 2012. • Pryes Brewing currently operates a 15bbl, three vessel hybrid system. This allows an overlap of turns on a brew day. • Jeremy’s favorite style to brew is what you see above—his Lambic-influenced/mixed culture program: Idyll Forest. He formed Idyll Forest to explore where flavors can go. It embodies a hands-on approach to create these exceptional hybrids—a true farm-to-table or grain-to-glass experience. • The hardest challenge for Jeremy has been raw materials. Ingredients are never the same because Mother Nature doesn’t care about consistency like brewers do. • Future plans at Idyll Forest include releasing a Cider Hybrid series. His custom coolship allows the production of these hybrids with what is in the air at any given time. It’s a celebration of the day, if you will. • A good reason to stop by Pryes is their new expanded taproom—and also their exceptional shows and music acts put together by the wizard, @drewkoe. • Jeremy’s favorite lawnmower beer would be @buschbeer. He once had 13 in an afternoon on a bet, but just ended up very full. Not even tipsy, just full. 😆 • When he’s not brewing, you can catch him with his wonderful wife and two kids at a local park. At night, he’s probably getting primal around a campfire. He doesn’t have an off switch yet, but he’s working on it.
