Description
We launched Fullsteam in 2010 with a single mission: to explore what it means to be a Southern brewery. Sometimes that definition means brewing with foraged and farmed adjuncts. Other times it means making innovative beers with local grain. And sometimes it means just making true-to-style beers more Southern in temperament.

In our nearly ten years focused on this mission, Fullsteam has purchased more than $500,000 in Southern-farmed ingredients. We track our commitment to the Southern Beer Economy in our monthly farm reports.

Whether it’s the beer we brew, the food we cook, or the events we host, we believe in connecting people to the land and to one another. And through it all, we aim to keep it fun. Beer should be fun.

22oz bottle, I drunk most of it. Poured a mostly clear amber color with a medium sized off-white head. Aroma was lots of sweet sugary notes, sweet potato yam character. Light lemon, caramel malt, lager character. Interesting. Not bad, but perhaps just a little sweet. A touch refreshing with a lower abv that was nice.
