About this beer

Machu Picchu is a 6.8% ABV Saison brewed by Black Pond Brews of Dayton, Connecticut. The label recounts a bit of history surrounding the ancient Inca city, linking the beer to the story of its destruction—perhaps due to smallpox—and the subsequent Spanish conquest. This unique take on the Saison style incorporates a substantial amount of fresh jalapeño peppers in every batch, promising a spicy kick. Brewed with wheat and corn, the beer features Nugget hops and is described as a dark offering, fittingly named “Black Pond.”

The label’s artwork is striking, featuring a vibrant red and gold geometric pattern reminiscent of Incan textiles surrounding the bold “MACHU PICCHU” lettering. A small illustration of a llama appears alongside the hop designation. The overall aesthetic evokes the beer’s namesake and hints at its flavorful complexity, while also listing warnings about consuming alcoholic beverages responsibly.
