The creative energy at Blackberry Farm Brewery is driven by a deep passion for collaboration: Sharing knowledge, ideas, and passion to craft beers of the highest quality for the enjoyment of others. With this inspiration in mind, we were honored to welcome Jeppe Jarnit-Bjergsø of Evil Twin Brewing to join us in early April for the brewing of our first collaborative beer. Our dear friend Allan Benton, of Benton’s Country Hams, graciously allowed us to age a portion of the malt and hops being used for this beer in his smoke house, permeating the grain with a rich, earthy hickory smoke character. With a wink and a nod to traditional European smoked beers, influenced and colored by the preservation heritage found in Southern smoke houses, and finished with a Belgian yeast strain, this beer straddles both the Old and New World as interpreted through inspired collaboration.
We know who we are and where we come from – Rustic, Rooted, Refined. These three words capture the essence of our identity. We are salt of the earth, strongly rooted in our history, and take pride in refinement of our craft – all to share our passion for beer with you.
