heir-loom noun \’er-,lüm\
: a valuable object that is owned by a family for many years and passed from one generation to another
: an old type of plant that is still available because individual people have continued to grow it for many years
This collaboration with chefs Jason Alley of Pasture and Travis Milton of Comfort personifies the definition of the word heirloom, and was inspired by love of family, Southern hospitality and Southern cuisine. 100% heirloom products were meticulously procured including 8th generation, Milton family candy roaster squash, fresh whole-cone Huguenot hops, heritage malted barley and rye from Riverbend Malt House, and yeast from the world’s oldest brewery. A portion of the proceeds of this beer will benefit FeedMore.org.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 8
Location: 22 oz bottle from Strangeways, 1/18/15
Aroma: The nose is a little vegetal, some German malts, spice, rye, and a touch of caramel
Appearance: It pours a clear golden color with a small white head and some drippy lace
Flavor: The flavor is more on the spice/vegetation side, light sweetness, with a spice finish
Palate: This one is medium bodied, with a tingly feel, clean on the mouth, and lingers on the close
Overall Impression: Interesting one for sure. It works pretty well as a culinary beverage, but doesn't totally work as a beer. Still though, I enjoyed it. I'm not sure I'd want to drink it often, but I enjoyed it.
