THE STORY:

Tabula Rasa: a blank slate.

“Let us then suppose the mind to have no ideas in it, to be like white paper with nothing written on it. How then does it come to be written on?…To this I answer, in one word, from experience.” - John Locke, 1690

Locke argued against the divine right of kings to rule and instead defended a philosophy on which people have equal and natural rights; a revolutionary idea at the time. Locke’s ideas influenced America’s Founding Fathers and helped lay the foundation for the U.S. Constitution.

In the spirit of this philosophy, we release Tabula Rasa, our apricot amber ale, every New Year’s Eve. The celebration of a new year serves as a reminder that you can always start again with a blank slate.
