Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst, and is the mind behind several of the most widely known and utilized psychological concepts. One of those concepts is the Archetypal Phenomena, with which Jung proposes that all human behavior can be deduced to 12 archaic, universal patterns. These patterns are represented by characters in story, myth, religion, and dream. Amelia Earhart can represent the Explorer archetype; Leonardo Da Vinci, the Creator; Loki, the Trickster; Albus Dumbledore, the Sage. At Archetype, the four main ingredients in our beer (grain, hops, yeast and water) are mindfully combined to bring out its own personality and behavior, which in turn allows it to take on the qualities of Jung’s archetypes. The characteristics give it life, identity and complexity, whether it’s a smooth, creamy stout, or an unpredictable, mixed-culture saison. But, when it comes down to it, our beer ends up in your hands. You be the judge. Which archetype does the beer evoke? Which archetype are you?
