Ferment Brewing Releases Woodsmen Porter and ESB
Two new seasonal beers have been packaged up by Ferment Brewing in Hood River, Oregon. Today, the brewer just released Woodsmen Porter and ESB to signal the changing season. Both beers were previously available in 500mL bottles, now each of the beers make their seasonal 16oz can debuts.
To coincide with the dual beer release, Ferment Brewing has just opened its new event space simply named The Beer Hall. This space is great for gatherings large and small, boasts large windows facing the Columbia River, a cozy atmosphere, custom selection of draft beers, and menu offerings featuring party platters and family style rotisserie chicken dinners curated by the restaurant’s talented chefs. Bookings are now available; reservations can be made through the brewery’s website at fermentbrewing.com.
Here are details on each of the two seasonal beers as provided by Ferment Brewing.
Woodsmen Porter
Brewed with malts from England, Belgium, Germany, and Chile, the rich malt of the 5.6% ABV Woodsmen Porter is paired with earthy hops. For an extra touch of place, Ferment added Doug Fir tips, which were foraged at the base of Mt. Hood in late Spring, adding a subtle old growth forest character to the dark beer.
ESB
Ferment ESB embodies the quintessential English-style ale, Extra Special Bitter. Almost paradoxically complex and full of rich wholegrain toast flavors, a can of the copper-colored beer sports a soft fruity ester, an easy drinking balance, and a modest alcohol content at 5.4%.
Both Woodsmen Porter and ESB are available in digitally printed, fully recyclable cans and on draft throughout Ferment’s distribution footprint in Oregon and Washington. For more information, visit https://www.fermentbrewing.com/
