Wayland Brewing Drops First Ever Collab Beer

Wayland Brewing has released their first ever collaboration – Errant Path, a 5% double decocted Czech-style pilsner that was structured around Edelweiss, a heritage barley variety. “The resulting beer has wonderful notes of bread dough and a honey-like sweetness, and is balanced with an herbal, almost green-tea like hop character,” the brewery said. It’s floral, with crisp and refreshing notes of biscuit malt. Errant Path is on tap and in cans at Wayland, as well as in limited quantities at Strangebird and at select retailers.

Wayland has also released Red Sky, a modern twist on a Red IPA. Red Sky is made with barley, wheat, hand-selected 2025 Mosaic hops and small amounts of crystal malts. “Expect notes of berry, pine sap, nettle and a bit of citrus,” the brewery said. The beer is lightly malted and light bodied with hoppy and citrus notes. You can find Red Sky on tap and in cans at Wayland.
