Since 2013, we’ve partnered with Duchess County’s Crown Maple Syrup at Madava Farm in brewing a beer. In 2013 it was Crown Maple Irish Red. In 2014 it was Xylem Farmhouse Ale. And in 2015? Introducing Madava Farm Pilsner, our very 1st lager. Madava Farm Pilsner is brewed using over 600 gallons of maple sap taken directly from Madava Farm. Although left unfiltered, it still has a beautiful light straw color and an incredibly clean taste. Madava Farm Pilsner has everything you love about a lager… bready notes balanced with slight bitterness from the noble hops. Faint “earthy & woodsy” notes can be tasted at the finish of the beer, the result of brewing with sap instead of water. Light, crisp, and refreshing, our Pilsner is the perfect anecdote to the warm summer months ahead. Cheers!
