Autumn Stars

Inspired by Richard Adam’s Watership Down: We hate to ruin it for you, but it’s the last page before the epilogue. The journey is at it’s end and it’s time to reflect on the meaning of things. The autumn stars are out; glowing a pale orange. Fall is upon the down. Leafs collect in the hollows and the smell of pepper and citrus permeate the air. And below the earth, a group of rabbits sleep.

We pay homage to the farmhouse ale tradition with Autumn Stars by using a changing array of seasonal local ingredients to lend flavor, character and spice to a traditional base recipe. This version includes an variety of fall squash added at various times in the process including pumpkin, acorn squash, butternut squash, and Japanese Pumpkin. To complement the complex sugars added by these fruits we used a hefty helping of black strap molasses in the boil. The result is a rich amber farmhouse ale ready to welcome in the Fall. Show Less
