Harvest Ale is back!
We have packaged the first round of our fresh-hop beer, Harvest Ale, and it is as good as ever. We have increased the hops 20% due to a great yield this year at the Weyerbacher Hop Farm. Last year due to the exceedingly rainy season and subsequent poor yield, we had to supplement with dry hops. This year the yield was fantastic and the hops looked and smelled great before taking the plunge into the beer. So the flavor and aroma are created solely from freshly picked, straight off the vine, piney, grassy, tasty wet-hops!!!
We will have it on draft and in bottles at the Visitors Center this Saturday September 4th, 2010 from 12pm till 3pm. Please come by and try it.
If you want to see how much fun it is to pick hops, check out the video we posted off picking day at the farm!
Harvest ale is awesome! Got it on Saturday at your spot and the videos of the weeks before with the Hops growing on the vine make it taste all the more sweet!!
And your Fifteen! A classic in the making!
Great job again! Bring on the Quad!!
Thanks man, a long season of growing, long picking days, and a long brewing days coming together for a fantastic brew.
