At Angry Horse Brewing, we’ve always brewed with intention—with our hands, our hearts, and a deep love for the community that helped build us. And among all the beers that have come and gone over the years, one stands out as a true original. A beer that’s unapologetically vibrant, wildly expressive, and unmistakably ours.
We’re talking about Purple AF—our bold, hibiscus-infused saison that’s been with us since the early days.
Born to Stand Out
Purple AF isn’t your average farmhouse ale. From the moment it hits the glass, you know it’s something different. That electric magenta hue? That’s all hibiscus—steeped into the brew like a tea, imparting both a striking color and a distinct earthy-tart complexity. It’s beautiful, sure—but it’s not just a pretty pour.
This beer brings flavor. It layers the floral tang of hibiscus with the peppery, rustic spice of traditional saison yeast, then dry-hops it with Pacific Jade to give it an herbal lift and a grounding citrus backbone. It’s earthy, spicy, floral, and crisp—a balancing act of flavor that lands with grace.
A Staple from the Start
When we opened our doors, we set out to brew beers that told stories—beers with depth and character, that could start conversations and build community one pint at a time. Purple AF was one of our earliest experiments in doing just that.
And while we’ve brewed countless beers since then—some seasonal, some one-offs, some iconic—Purple AF has stayed in rotation for a reason. It’s the beer you introduce to your wine-loving friend who “doesn’t usually drink beer,” and it’s the one our longtime regulars order without even glancing at the menu. It’s been there for birthdays, first dates, long talks, short nights, and those golden hours where the taproom hums with laughter and connection.
A Community Favorite, Reimagined Again and Again
Over the years, we’ve kept Purple AF close to its roots but haven’t been afraid to evolve. We’ve played with batch variations and leaned into its versatility. But at its core, it’s always been that same beloved saison—refreshing, funky, floral, and unmistakably purple.
Whether you’re new to Angry Horse or you’ve been riding with us since day one, Purple AF is a beer worth revisiting. It’s a taste of who we are, what we love, and why we brew.
Raise a Glass
So the next time you see that bright magenta pour sliding down the bar, take a moment. You’re not just drinking a saison—you’re experiencing one of the originals. A true Angry Horse classic that refuses to fade into the background.
Bold. Beautiful. Purple AF.
Stop by the taproom and rediscover a favorite. Because some beers never go out of style—they just get better with time.
