Over the past two months, Info Advantage has taken you on a flight of cyberthreats and well-crafted local beer.

In our Brews & Cyber Threats blog series, we explored five of the most pressing cyber risks facing small and mid-sized businesses — and paired each with a handcrafted beer from Rohrbach Brewing Company in Rochester.

We hope this made cyber education go down smoothly!

Here’s a full recap of what we covered — and how each pairing helped drive the lesson home.

The Cyber Threat & Beer Pairings Recap

Phishing & Rohrbach Scotch Ale

Deceptively smooth. Phishing emails use emotional appeal and urgency to trick even smart users into clicking. Just like this malty Scotch Ale, they seem comforting—until they hit.

Ransomware & Space Kitty Double IPA

Unfiltered and unforgiving. Ransomware locks your business out of its own systems and demands a ransom. Space Kitty’s bold, high-impact flavor mirrors the shock of a full-scale attack—and reminds you to back up before it’s too late.

Business Email Compromise (BEC) & Blueberry Ale

Sweet but sneaky. BEC scams impersonate trusted contacts to trick your team into sending money or sensitive info. Rohrbach’s Blueberry Ale is just as smooth—crisp and fruity, but with a subtle bite that reminds you not everything is as innocent as it seems.

Insider Threats & Helles Lager

Too much trust is risky. Insider threats often come from familiar faces—employees, contractors, even business partners. Like this classic lager, they appear smooth and safe, but with poor oversight, they can lead to serious damage.

Cloud Misconfigurations & Vanilla Porter

Structure matters. A misconfigured cloud can expose your data to the world. Rohrbach’s Vanilla Porter is a rich, layered brew built on complexity and balance—just like your cloud security strategy should be. One overlooked detail, and things get bitter fast.
