Company Information
Ancient man believed that there existed a paradise at the pinnacle of the universe in the form of a fiery sphere that was called Empyrean. Empyrean Brewing Company has embodied the flaming sphere in the Empyrean logo (see left). Further suggestions of the celestial connection can be gleaned from the beers themselves. Most of the beers' names reference astronomy and all of the company's labels depict heavenly scenes.
All of Empyrean's active beers are available on-tap and in bottles, except for the nitrogenated Collapsar Oatmeal Stout, which is on-tap only. In addition to their six regular beers, Empyrean consistently brews two additional beers, the Eccentric Seasonal Ale and the Lazlo's Limited. Usually, the Eccentric is chosen from the company's lineup of seasonal beers, while the Lazlo's limited, available only at the Telesis-owned restaurants, is the champion of the "BeerQuest" competition for local homebrewers.
In addition to "BeerQuest", Empyrean sponsors several beer-related events in the Lincoln area. On the first non-holiday Monday of every month, Lazlo's Brewery and Grill in the Haymarket hosts "Cask Night", an event featuring two Empyrean beers that have been cask-conditioned. On the same night, next door, the brewery opens its doors to the first 150 people to arrive to receive an exclusive tour of the brewery and a presentation from Head Brewer Rich Chapin. "Brewed Awakening" is a monthly event that pairs beers from all over the world with food that will compliment them.

Famous quotes containing the words company and/or information:
“Men with secrets tend to be drawn to each other, not because they want to share what they know but because they need the company of the like-minded, the fellow afflicted.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“The information links are like nerves that pervade and help to animate the human organism. The sensors and monitors are analogous to the human senses that put us in touch with the world. Data bases correspond to memory; the information processors perform the function of human reasoning and comprehension. Once the postmodern infrastructure is reasonably integrated, it will greatly exceed human intelligence in reach, acuity, capacity, and precision.”
—Albert Borgman, U.S. educator, author. Crossing the Postmodern Divide, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1992)
