An Italian Pilsner named for the practice of giving spent grains to local farmers to feed their pigs, creating a farm-to-table cycle, and it's known for its bread, cracker, and floral hop notes, typical of the style. It's a special release beer with a 5.4% ABV that connects the brewing process directly to local agriculture, a nod to roots in Crawford County, PA.

Feed ‘Em to the Pigs from Riverside Brewing. 16 fl oz can from M & M Beer, Hermitage, PA. Picked up 10/01/26, in reefer at distributor. $ 4.50 (including tax) ($ 0.281/fl oz). Reviewed 22/01/26, review 3679. Note that I use DD/MM/YY protocol.
Undated can. Stored at home at 40 degrees F. Served at 40.8 degrees F in a hand washed and dried Jester King snifter. The final temperature is 50.5 degrees F.
Appearance – 3.5
First pour – Pale straw (SRM 2), slight haze.
Body – Straw (SRM 3), hazy. Under direct light, same. When rear-lite, same.
Head – Average (Maximum 3.5 cm, aggressive center pour) Cotton, medium density with short retention, falling to an undulating 0. 5 – 0.7 cm crown fed by spotty carbonation and a thin partial cap.
Lacing – Multiple pillars of tiny to near-microscopic bubbles.
Aroma – 3 – Virtually none. No hops. No malt. No alcohol (5.4 % ABV as marked on the label). After is reaches the final temperature, faint hoppiness doe appear on the nose.
Flavor – 3 – It begins weakly bitter with no hop flavor and distinctly no malt. No alcohol. No dimethylsulfide or diacetyl. Ends dry. Eventually, slight gastric warming.
Palate – 3.5 – Medium: Dry: Soft but lively carbonation.
Style: Follows the vague BA style description, since “It’s about intention.”
Final impression and summation: 3 (After deducting 0.25 point for an undated personal container) Uncredited but quite grabbing label art – made me think of a movie. Bland, tasteless, slightly bitter, watered down alcohol.
