Welcome: Virginia Farmhouse Saison

New Beer Releasing Friday, September 24th

Virginia Farmhouse Saison: A Virginia Brewers Guild Collaboration Beer (5.15%ABV):

We’ve participated in the collaboration beer in celebration of the 10 year anniversary of the Virginia Craft Brewers Guild and have made our Virginia Farmhouse Saison. This beer has a subtle funkiness and bone dry finish perfect for the approaching Autumn season.

A Collaborative Effort

We acquired Cherokee Purple Tomatoes from Hamilton Hop Farms and roasted yellow squash grown here at Flying Ace Farm and incorporated them into the mash. This brings a slight sweetness from the roasted squash flesh and a very subtle fresh earthy tomato flavor. We also used a Virginia local yeast supplier, Jasper Yeast Labs, and used their American Saison yeast strain that was propagated from a wooden barrel found at an archaeological dig site in Alexandria.

We are proud members of the Virginia Craft Brewers Guild and hope you enjoy our collaborative efforts. Cheers.
