The Seed: A Living Beer Project

We take great pride in incorporating the local environment into our beer.  Whether by means of locally grown grains, meticulously cared for stone fruit orchards, or forage-able berries, flowers, and foliage we feel very strongly that an intimate understanding of our ingredients and where they come from helps instruct how they are best put to use.  Our use of ingredients is diligent, mindful, and complimentary.  When we are given the gift of such wonderful samples of the natural world, we do everything we can to let them shine.

            We go to great lengths to push our own limits and boundaries by using wild and naturally occurring yeast and bacteria, heritage or minimally processed local grain, and unique but thoughtfully selected foraged ingredients.  We subscribe to the notion that, to a degree, a gain in control on the process comes with a loss in complexity of flavor that you get when relying on seasonally-variable ingredients and wild microbes.  These little steps help us get one step closer to nature, closer to the earth, and more appreciative of the living world around us.  Through the beer we make we hope to tell a story of a living earth, a story of the people and communities so heavily linked to an ecosystem, and a story of interconnectedness by transforming the gifts of nature into a form that we can present to you to share and enjoy.
