Beer Philosophy

Old Trade’s  assortment of beers, emulates traditional American and European, farm-centric beers.  Included in this lineup are the traditional American beers such as Pale Ale and IPA, Belgian-style beers such as Saisons and Lambics, and English based beers like Porter and Mild.  Old Trade also creates unique beers sourced from farm ingredients such as raspberries, pecans and peaches and other available farm fresh ingredients.

The farm operates with a hop yard and half acre of cider trees  and pear, cherry trees. In addition to the crops the farm has multiple bee hives which is integrated into the beer production as well.

Another unique feature of the farm brewery is the “barrel program,” which entails aging beer in used spirit and wine barrels. Old trade has purchased many of its barrels from local vineyards and distilleries.

The used barrels add interesting and unique flavors to many beer styles.  The barrel program allows an advanced barrel aging schedule which allows for beer styles like barley wine and  sour/ wild beers to gain increased complexity.
