Rose Petal Ale, Beer Chili Day is HERE, and more Brew & Farm News!

We brewed a beer with Rose Petals in honor of Valentine's Day! This French Saison style of ale features complex flavors of spices & fruits, then boiled with rose petals & aged with more fresh rose petals. On tap starting Friday at 4:00, and we only made 15 gallons (no growler fills for this one). More details below. Don't forget our next Beer Chili Day is this Sunday, February 18! We'll be serving the chili from 12-4 or until we run out. Lastly, our Mixed Berry Ale has returned!  For those who enjoy the beers in our Fruit Beer series, this one is for you.  It has been many months since Mixed Berry has been on tap... but now it's BACK!
