Foudre-Aged Vienna Lager

A concept without space may be an innovation in and of itself. The punctuation of festivity may lay in the execution of a grand appreciation of creation. In 2021, nothing is simple. And the team at Asheville’s food festival, Chow Chow, have had the arduous task of continuing their food system storytelling without some normal digs. Going mobile, the Chow Chow programming has shared the stories of tons of growers, innovators and makers in our wonderful Appalacian food system, providing them with an outlet for education and expression in a trying time. $1 of each pint of this beer is a donation to Chow Chow’s Craft In Your Glass program and was made in collaboration with our friends at Farm & Sparrow. This Americanized take on Vienna Lager, reaches for spelt, grown generation after generation by farmers in middle Ohio. This grain is milled in Farm & Sparrow’s stone mill and offers a rich nutty aromatic and warming protein that takes our lager to a new level of depth. After slow fermentation, we then aged the beer in our American Oak Foudre for over a month. The end result is baking herbs, amber honey, and freshly toasted crusty bread.
