TWO BARNS
A Dark Farmhouse Ale made in partnership with Wolves & People Farmhouse Brewery, 9.8%
Impressions of: Cherry cordial, toasted hazelnuts, tart cherries, dark chocolate, subtle oak
INGREDIENTS
Wheatland Spring Water
Grains: 22% Wheatland Spring Estate; 78% Mecca Grade Oregon
Wild-captured yeast native to our farm (Hope)
Old World Hops
METHODS
Open Fermented
Barrel Rested
Bottle Conditioned
In the summer of 2021, we started down a path with Wolves & People to create two unique beers, connected by a shared vision for marrying farming and brewing, anchored in each farm’s location. The idea was to create a similar style beer — a dark farmhouse ale — with ingredients and methods that are expressive of each individual farm. Two separate celebrations, done together.
The first offering is our interpretation: Two Barns, with both brewhouse barns shown on the label. Brewed with grain we grew on our farm and grain grown down the road from Wolves & People at Mecca Grade. We open fermented this ale with wild-captured yeast native to our farm and then let it age in barrels before it was bottle conditioned. Rich, bold malt flavors integrate with layers of complex esters from our yeast, before finishing dry.
