Or as we affectionately call it, “Blurred Bines”… (we are not immune to catchy pop music) The hop harvest has been done, our local farmers have done their part… so now it’s time for us to hold up our end of the bargain: the release of 2013’s Harvest Ale. As the renaissance in Hudson Valley brewing continues, more & more of our local farmers are growing much needed hops. 2013 Harvest Ale has hops from: Madura Farms, Pine Island Hopherder Farm, Walden Doons Farm, New Windsor Masotto Property, Washingtonville Basso Property, Salisbury Mills This year’s Harvest Ale is supremely dry and crisp. Hoppier than 2012’s version, the freshness of the local hops provide a grassy and herbal quality that is nicely balanced by the English malt. Supremely sessionable at 4.0%, this is a fine tribute to the hard work of our local farms!
