The story behind it
Idle Hands Craft Ales was founded by Chris and Grace Tkach in 2011, originally launching in Everett before moving to their permanent home in Malden, Massachusetts. Known for their deep appreciation of Belgian-style ales and traditional German-style lagers, the brewery focuses on executing classic, yeast-driven styles with exceptional balance and clarity.
Brewed at the Idle Hands brewhouse in Malden, Massachusetts, Gretel is modeled closely after classic northern German Pilsners. It utilizes traditional continental hops and premium German malts to deliver a precise, four-way ingredient balance that honors historic European brewing methods.
