(Dallastown, PA) – The hunt is over for a new line-up of farm-crafted beers and ciders from Wyndridge Farm Brewing. The Hunt Series was inspired by the farm’s natural beauty and it’s iconic mark…a scarf-wearing fox. The essence of the elegant, sly and crafty fox captures the spirit that is Wyndridge Farm. A place to celebrate and enjoy life’s moments with friends, family, great food and crafty beverages.
“The Hunt Series represents a significant milestone for Wyndridge Farm Brewing in our continued effort to expand our seasonal program. We are excited to be offering the Hunt Series as our first canned product. Cans give us the flexibility to bring a wide variety of new products to market while also providing our customers with a package that can easily be enjoyed in the great outdoors,” said, Steve Groff, Wyndridge Farm Owner. The Hunt Series will rollout new beverages throughout the year starting with a Double India Pale Ale and a Dark Rye Barrel Cider.
As Head Brewer, Pete Koelsch, explained, “The Hunt series really allowed us to branch out and brew seasonal beers & ciders that were previously only available in our tasting room on a much larger scale. Out of literally hundreds of experimental seasonal batches that were brewed on our pilot system, we narrowed it down to only the very best for the Hunt Series.” He continued, “The first beer in the series, a Double India Pale Ale, is strong enough to help get you through the end of winter, but refreshing enough to enjoy on a warm spring day. The beer combines many of my favorite hops from around the globe. Hops from the United States, Germany, and New Zealand are combined to make this incredibly juicy double IPA that has notes of papaya, mango and Mandarine oranges. The malt bill for this beer consists of oats, wheat, and 2-row barley providing a silky smooth base which allows for the layers of juicy hops to shine through.” Alc. 8.3% by Volume.
Scott Topel, Wyndridge’s Cider Master is a bourbon lover and enjoys trying different cocktails made with Rye Whiskey. “Bulleit Rye Old Fashions are one of my current favorites, so I thought it would be cool to emulate that flavor in a cider, said Topel.” He continued, “This cider uses late harvest apples along with caramelized sugar giving it a full body which supports the oak tannins and rye whiskey notes. This cider is a nice to introduction to some of the other cider making techniques we use here on the farm. Fermenting and aging in oak barrels is a long standing tradition with cider, and barrels previously used for whiskey only add to the flavors they can enhance and impart. Cider and what the apples had to offer here was the focus, but a love of whiskey and cider were bound to intersect at some point!” Alc. 7.5% by Volume.
