Haw River Farmhouse Ales
Haw River is focused on creating unique farmhouse beers and supporting local and sustainable economies in Saxapahaw, North Carolina. Ben Woodward and some of the brewery’s crew ventured out along the Haw River on a portion of land that is within the Mountain-to-Sea Trail, taking inspiration from a walk right in their backyard. The final product is called “Son of Lemontree: A Study of Smoked Wheat & Pine.” This beer is a dry-hopped smoked wheat beer utilizing locally grown raw wheat in the mash and young white pine needles in the finish. Before packaging, lemon zest and whole leaf Sorachi Ace hops made an appearance.
Fullsteam Brewery
Having participated in our Denver festival last year, we knew that Fullsteam would pull all the stops when they joined on again this year. They brewed up two beers for the festival. The first, "Square Root," is their foraged sassafras dark ale, and blended with an addition of Frasier fir tips and fallen birch. Ambrosia, their second beer, is a saison brewed with yeast cultivated from Duke Gardens, Virginia sweetgrass, and foraged persimmons.
Fullsteam has one of the most community involved foraging programs in the country. Each year, the brewery buys persimmons that are community-foraged in Durham. They are brought to the brewery and the resulting beer is called First Frost, a winter persimmon ale. You can learn more about the beer on this video clip.
