Nonconformist 11 • Self-Reliance: Motueka with Lime and Phantasm • Convivial Suarez • James • Abner

We will debut two new bottled offerings for the upcoming week and welcome Convivial Suarez back. We’ll also have freshly packaged cans and drafts of James, our Black IPA, and Abner, our ancestral DIPA.

Our weekly food trucks will be Bobber’s Seafood on Wednesday and Thursday and Smokin’ Joes on Friday and Saturday.

Nonconformist 11

Joining our series of unconventional and creative ales, this newest entry is a Farmstead® ale aged in wine barrels for nearly a year. It was brewed with organic flaked oats and a small amount of organic barley and was carbonated with organic sorghum syrup from the legendary Blue Hill at Stone Barn and Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture in Tarrytown, N.Y. This is also a lower-gluten offering, lab tested at 100 parts per million; it is not gluten-free but substantially lower.

Self-Reliance: Motueka with Lime and Phantasm

This novel variation of our Farmstead® single-hop India pale ales was brewed in March 2024 with organic lime juice and Phantasm Thiol Powder and dry-hopped with hand-selected Motueka™ hops grown by Freestyle Farm— our agricultural partner in Upper Moutere, New Zealand. Phantasm is made from Marlborough, New Zealand, Sauvignon Blanc grape skins, enhancing strong tropical fruit aromas during fermentation.

Convivial Suarez

In November of 2012, we visited Dany Prignon at his iconic Brasserie Fantôme in Belgium to brew his first-ever collaboration, the charmingly named “5 Sciences.” 

Upon our return, we brewed Convivial Suarez, our take on the beer that emerged from that singular, magical experience. This Farmstead® ale is brewed with hibiscus and lemon peel and juice—in the spirit of the original—but with our distinctive farmhouse yeast and water from Edward’s well. It continues to be a favorite, one which stands alone within our Farmstead® ales and reminds us fondly of the utterly unique experience of genuinely creative time spent with Dany.
