farmhouse brewing

Farmhouse brewing is a traditional approach to beer-making that originates from rural farms, especially in Europe. It emphasizes using locally sourced ingredients and often involves fermentation techniques passed down through generations. Farmhouse beers typically have distinctive flavors influenced by the regional environment and craftsmanship, reflecting a balance between rustic character and artisanal quality. This style often includes farmhouse ales, which are light, refreshing, and sometimes slightly tart or funky. The focus is on simplicity, sustainability, and local tradition, resulting in unique, flavorful beers that celebrate the farm’s natural resources and heritage.
