Our Beer
Inspired by farmhouse brewing traditions around the world, our beers are brewed to reflect our place and the changing of the seasons. We brew with our well water, mainly American ingredients (local when possible) and a custom mix of yeast to create flavor-driven beers across a broad profile of tastes. Our beers feature moderate alcohol, carefully balanced flavors and high drinkability with a dry, crisp finish.
'Rustic Chic' - Farmhouse Pale ale

‘hoppy fingers’ - fresh hop farmhouse ale
The name is an reference to what happens when you pick hops fresh off the vine - your fingers get coated in the oils resins from the hop flowers. We used a bunch of local Cascade and Centennial hops that we picked ourselves at Cottage Hill Orchard in Lebanon and at the brewery along with a malt bill of barley and spelt grown in the Northeast and malted by Valley Malt and then fermented it with our mix of yeast. The beer lets the flavor of the hops shine through with fresh floral aroma and notes of citrus, tea and pine as well as a firm bitterness. The spelt provides body to balance the dry finish of the yeast. This is the perfect beer for harvest season and a reminder that beer is an agricultural product! 5.8% ABV
