The grist for this American Pale Lager features raw heirloom dent corn from our farm in North Stonington, CT, which we milled in-house to a coarse, unsifted grit before combining it with Valley's pilsner malt in the main mash tun.
This bright, straw-colored Pale Lager, aptly named Grainshed, presents a beautiful range of aromatics. An array of malt-forward notes greet the palate upfront, featuring tones of fresh-baked biscuit, water cracker, and lightly toasted corn chips. As the beer opens up, the whole-cone Saaz shines, its beautiful floral-meets-grassy profile adding a nuanced highlight and welcomed soft bitterness. Grainshed is light-bodied, thirst-quenching, and finishes crisp.

GREY’S VIEW
First sip and no way it’s a big boi! Woah! Body is semi full with loads of being and cream. Bubbles are mashed into the beer; them being well over round and soft.
Taste gives light crackers, mashed corn and hints of mixed florals with very low bitterness and notably solid, lightmaltbone. Some tiny hoppiness also tries to make itself noted in the end.
OTHER NOTES:
Nicely different Pale Lager. This actually has body and being. Much better then expected or what this style usually offers.
