Fullsteam Sparkling Pear
Last fall, local
friends and family gathered 150 pounds of heirloom and backyard pears. It
wasn’t until this spring that we had tank space to brew a beer from this
harvest. This 9% sparkling ale is brewed with wit yeast and Northern Brewer
hops. Sparkling Pear is not a funky farmhouse, but is more cider-like and
dry as a bone. This is yet another “beer for people who think they don’t
like beer.”
We're thrilled to collaborate with Sam's Quik Shop and South Durham
Confection Company for a Friday retail release of our newest bottled
offering. SDCC will be selling pear cookies, baking the pears used during
fermentation straight in to the cookies. We'll be providing samples of
Sparkling Pear and selling 750ml bottles of the tasty beverage. And, in
Durham tradition, expect a food truck or two for this Friday from 4 to 6pm
event!
Fullsteam Brewing
Fullsteam is a Durham, North Carolina production brewery and tavern inspired
by the agricultural and culinary traditions of the South. Our mission is to
craft a distinctly Southern beer style using local farmed goods, heirloom
grains, and Southern botanicals. Like what, you wonder? We're making beer
with sweet potatoes, corn grits, summer basil, and malted barley
house-smoked over hickory. Other successful "plow to pint" experiments
to-date include beer brewed with scuppernong grapes, persimmon, paw paw,
rhubarb and more.
Ultimately, our vision is for our best-selling beer to be year-round,
sustainable, scalable, distinctly Southern beer, and brewed 100% with local
ingredients. That's the quest. We're a long ways from realizing this vision,
but we hope you enjoy the adventure as much as we expect to. |
