For the past four years, 14th Star has partnered with Norwich University to create a craft beer as part of their bicentennial celebration.
The fifth installment in our Norwich University Bicentennial Series, Distinction is a single hop IPA featuring the distinct fresh orchard fruit character of Rakau™ hops and a big, but well-rounded bitterness. Check out the video above for a look inside our brewery and the making of this bicentennial beer.
Distinction will premiere at Norwich Homecoming 2018’s Celebrate 200: All-Class Bicentennial Year Launch Party and will be available in the 14th Star Beer Garden outside Plumley Armory Homecoming weekend.
Differentiation. Significance. Reputation. Distinction is sought by many yet achieved by very few. The reason for this is simple: Distinction is difficult. One cannot stumble into distinction. It takes work, determination, and the choice to do the difficult thing simply because it is the thing that will yield results. Life at Norwich University is not easy. Life at Norwich is demanding. Students are challenged at Norwich in ways inconceivable by other institutions of higher learning. It is this challenge, coupled with the students’ decision to accept this challenge, that makes the Norwich experience so unique and produces leaders of character for this ever-changing world.
Expect Challenge. Achieve Distinction. Essayons!
