Pointers All-American Beer

Tap to rate

Pointers All-American Beer was launched in August 2025 together with the athletics department of the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, which receives part of the proceeds. It is a light, low-strength beer brewed with two-row malted barley and a blend of hops. Clean pale malt with a soft cereal sweetness and a faint bready note carries the aroma and palate, while the hops stay light. The body is thin and the finish short, dry and crisp.

◐ Taste

Entry is light and approachable, with the two-row malt providing clean sweetness and a gentle cereal backbone. The mid-palate maintains that soft malt character without fullness, while bitterness remains minimal and never intrudes. The hop blend plays a supporting role throughout, contributing just enough definition to prevent flatness.
