Wooden Forager ‘23 • Barrel-aged Brown Ale w/ Fir Tips & Cherries 12oz $10 / 8oz $8 / 4oz $4.5
Historic meets new world by combining Norse brewing techniques and aging in Bourbon barrels to craft something new and unique. Running the wort through an aspen log full of young fir tips, using a Norwegian farmhouse yeast, and adding cherries all create a deeply complex beer. The fermentation and cherries create a rich red wine character, while the darker grains add toast and caramel notes to meld with the oak of the barrel and deep pine of the fir. Many thanks to Dustin Dyer of Kent Mountain Adventures Center for his knowledge of the local forests and Nathan Weber for the use of his family property and work on the aspen log.

The Root Shoot single malt barrel mellows the roast, adding vanilla, oak, and whisky. Plums, dates, and figs round out the palate with a smooth, lasting finish. • Featured ingredients: Molasses, roasted malts • Recommended adventure: Contemplating your life philosophy by a fire
