Our vision is to create beer that is sourced 100% from local ingredients and enjoyed in the local New England area. Certainly, there are challenges with this vision. After all, the emerging micro-maltsters don’t have the same economies of scale that the bigger mid-western and Canadian maltsters do. In addition, the New England climate is amenable to producing only certain types of hops and fruits, which might mean some limitation in variety.
While some might see these challenges as overwhelming, we don’t. Our team is inherently optimistic. Instead of challenges we see great opportunity. Winemakers, both in our region as well as across the world, have typically worked to find vines that thrive in their local habitat. This gives the wine grown in each region its own unique characteristics and flavor simply as a result of its geography, regional vines, soil, and weather conditions. The term for this is Terroir which is roughly translated as “a sense of place”. In other words, regional wines embody local characteristics which make them unique from the rest of the world.
