What’s new or what’s coming up?
- We just released our Peach Blackberry Farmhouse Ale featuring fresh peaches and blackberries that we froze last summer. We made the beer over the winter and then aged the beer on the fruit for several months.
- On the wine side, we are releasing our first carbonated Rose’ (Vin Gris Rose’), which is a pale Rose’ with light effervescence.
What are your go to brews and what makes them unique?
- Rye Kolsch – The addition of rye malt makes for a different twist on this traditional German ale.
- Lemongrass Basil Saison – We brew a basic Saison and then transform it with the addition of fresh lemongrass and basil from our farm (seasonal).
- Coffee Stout – We make this beer every winter and age it on fresh coffee beans from Lexington Coffee Roasters.
