Farmhouse Ale
Farmhouse Ale is a traditional style of beer that originated in rural Europe, particularly in regions like Belgium and France. It was historically brewed by farmers during the harvest season, using local ingredients and wild yeast strains. This style is known for its rustic flavors, often featuring fruity, spicy, and earthy notes.
Typically, Farmhouse Ales are unfiltered and can vary in color and strength. They are often slightly tart and effervescent, making them refreshing and easy to drink. Many modern craft breweries have embraced this style, experimenting with different ingredients and fermentation techniques to create unique variations.
