Join Jon and Carrieann, owners of Sideways Farm & Brewery, as we guide you through a tasting experience, while sharing our personal journey from the suburbs of Orlando to the rural farm and brewery life of North Carolina. We start our journey in Sideways Farm & Brewery’s tasting room with a sample of our farm fresh ale. We’ll share the beginnings of our love of hand crafting ales as we discuss practical tasting methods and beer styles. We will walk the farm with our second pour as we see regenerative agriculture in action. We’ll chat about the decision to create a farm brewery, what is working as we rehabilitate our farm (and tell stories of what has failed), and see future beer ingredients growing on the farm. With our third ale we will tour the brewery, sample some malts and smell some hops, and learn why all of our ales are naturally conditioned with local wildflower honey, a process we have developed over the last six years. Our last pour will be back in the tasting room where we will talk about our seasonal approach to brewing and how it is reminiscent of traditional farm breweries throughout history. We’ll bring it all together as we discuss our mission of returning beer to its agricultural roots.
