Kent Falls Ryeland

Kent, CT / 4.5% abv

Today’s selection hails from Kent Falls Brewing. A multifaceted 50 acre farm nestled in the most northwesterly corner of Connecticut, Kent Falls is a farm brewery, focusing on a spirit of collaboration with local farms to achieve localised biodiversity, so from an ethos standpoint, we obviously love what they’re up to.

Kent Falls consistently delivers delightful, one-of-a-kind beers, and their Ryeland is no exception. Utilising the Altbier style (quite literally “old beer” in German) this ale is conditioned for two months before canning. The resulting brew showcases a nose of honey, candied malt, and dried vanilla cereal on the nose, with a creamy mouthfeel and a palate much lighter and more refreshing than the nose would lead one to believe: gentle malt earthiness, and a subtle roasty toastiness… Dare we say, an infinitely crushable brown ale. One single can houses approximately 4 square feet of Northeastern grown grain. Support local farms and drink your breakfast!
