PUTTING THE "FARM" BACK IN FARMHOUSE
ALES
Though once literally brewed in farmhouses, many
examples of this yeasty, Belgian style of beer left the
farm long ago in favor of more commercial brewing facilities. But Oregon's Dave
Logsdon with brewer Charles Porter, has put the farm back into farmhouse
beers with Logsdon Organic Farmhouse Ales, the Belgian-inspired brewery housed
on his family's bucolic 10 acre estate in Hood River (county) complete with a
big red barn (where the brewing takes place), livestock and newly grafted
sharbeekse cherry trees - the fruit ultimately destined for sour kriek
ales.
