Kvass ale with lavender and spicebush.

Collaboration with Arizona Wilderness Brewing Co.

Hearth & Field was brewed with our friend Nick Pauley, wood cellar manager at Arizona Wilderness Woodnotes Cellar.

We mashed this kvass-inspired beer with over 140 pounds of home-baked, sourdough ciabatta, a good grip of Ohio barley, and some Arizona Sonoran Wheat. Crystal hops came from Ohio Valley Hops in Maineville, OH.

We co-fermented this beer with saison yeast, sourdough starter, and house mixed-cultures, in stainless steel.

Before packaging, we conditioned Hearth & Field on Arizona-grown Provence Lavender, and Ohio Spicebush berries.

Tasting Notes: Floral aroma, bright acidic body, with light sourdough & bread crust flavors towards the end. Mellow, musky spicebush finish.

4.7% ABV, not gluten-reduced
