It’s with great pleasure that we collaborate with New Belgium Brewing Co on two beers. Each beer is motivated by the visiting brewery. So we brewed a beer driven by New Belgium here at Half Acre. Early next month we fly to Colorado to brew a Half Acre inspired beer at New Belgium.

The first, 2023m2, brewed at Half Acre last month, is a soft sour ale that features the delicate complexity of a well designed New Belgium beer. A partial kettle souring process and light use of Maresh and Sumac all lend an equal hand in delivering a full experience. The numerical name ties into the area measurement of an actual Half Acre. Our hope, though, is to again brew together in the year 2023 and send that beer to the first group of people living on Mars.

This project is underway and if all goes well, some wild folks will be living on the red planet. They’re going to need some beer.
