Flying Fish Brewing Company Flying Fish Releases 12th Edition Of Farmhouse Summer Ale

Hard to believe this tasty stuff is now entering its 12th summer. That's good for all of us! Flying Fish Farmhouse Summer Ale is on its way out to your favorite retailer and tavern as you read this. The perfect summer beer, Farmhouse Ale is brewed with pale malt, a small percentage of wheat and single-hopped with imported Styrian Golding hops. It's a tribute to the "everyday" Farmhouse beers of Belgium (but it's not a Saison-no fruit, herbs or spices). A sour mash gives this beer its signature dryness and great drinkability.

The Farmhouse is also available in half kegs and 1/6 (5.2 gallons). If you don't see it, ask your local retailer for it.
