Two Metre Tall A Forager's Ale

REGION: Derwent Valley, TAS 
SIZE: 750ml / ABV: 6.5%

Rarely seen these days... “The banks of the River Derwent are littered with the detritus from over 200 years of European settlement. From this briary tangle can, nevertheless, be harvested wild hops, wild berries, sloes, hawthorn buds & wild fennel. Steeped in an ale made using water from the river, wild-fermented in wooden casks with yeasts & bacteria indigenous to locality & ingredient.” - TMT

Originally a winemaker in southern France, Ashley Huntington and his family moved to a 580 hectare farm in the Derwent Valley in 2004. Originally looking to plant vines to make wine, they fell in love with Tasmania's rich hop growing history and established Two Metre Tall instead. A true farmhouse brewery, using estate-grown & local ingredients and exclusively wild and mixed culture ferments with indigenous yeasts and local microflora. Ashley is a pioneer of sour and natural fermentation and one of the most important figures in farmhouse brewing.
