Each harvest season, we choose various barrels of our Farmstead® ales that exhibit sympathetic characteristics for pairing with local fruit varieties. Regardless of the base beer blend, the ideal outcome remains the same: a thoughtful, considerate representation of the fruit in season. 

A blend Farmstead® ales matured in wine barrels for 18 months and then further conditioned atop a blend of Siberian pears and local varieties of dessert pears — Stacy, Lucious, Summercrisp, and Nova — all organically grown by Elmore Roots Nursery in nearby Elmore, Vt.
