How do we source our fruit when we make seasonals like our blackberry gose? We try to partner with minority-owned, organic farms in Washington like Aash Farms. It’s a no-till, regenerative farm in King County serving channels across Seattle including fine dining, institutional clients, markets and food access, truly creating food equity across the city. Aash is known for quality and tending to the land with integrity.
Beyond this, Aash serves as an aggregation partner for 70 sustainable farms, mainly across Western Washington, allowing opportunities for sales, knowledge share, guidance and support for new and underserved farming communities with an emphasis on farming sustainably.
When we reached out to Aash with our idea, we were sure he would bring us the best quality, flavor that would make this beer shine.
For the brew process, we start with brewing our base Gose recipe. Which is a wheat ale brewed with a high level of salt to mimic the local water that this style originates from. Then the ale goes through a sour fermentation. After this sour fermentation is complete, the beer moves on to normal alcohol fermentation. At which point we blend up the 120lbs of Blackberries from Aash Farms and add them directly into the actively fermenting beer. We find adding the berries at this point allows for a complete fermentation while still maintaining the sweet Blackberry flavors that compliment this beer so well.
Blackberries sourced from Hima Nursery, a Certified Organic Farm in Everett, Washington and partner of Aash Farms Aggregation.
