Our second “Farm to Bottle” offering is a beer brewed in the classic Belgian Wit style. Also called a “white” beer, these wheat ales are very food friendly, balancing a rich velvety mouthfeel with an earthy Belgian-yeast character. Ours is brewed with 600 pounds of juicy winter oranges from Hamada Farm in Kingsburg, California. Working with Cliff Hamada, the third generation owner-operator of the farm, we put together a blend of early season blood oranges, tart pink-fleshed cara cara oranges and sweet aromatic navel oranges. Finally the beer is finished with a touch of fresh ginger root – from Morgan Hill’s Mellow Nursery – for a hint of tangy spice.

Our Winter Wit was designed from the ground up to be food friendly, balancing an earthy wit-yeast character with fruity acidity and orange zest to create a refreshing yet warming sipper that pairs perfectly with our mild California winters.
