Hentze Family Farm has been here since 1902 and we would like to keep that going for another century. One of the ways forward, in today’s challenging economy, for a small farm, is to get into “value added production”. Taking one’s harvest and making it into something else. We’re just applying the same type of model a winery does, but with malt beverages. And there are so many farm harvests that can become beer or malt beverages. As we’re a fruit farm at heart, we’ll focus on fruited offerings. But we’ll offer a complete beer lover’s paradise for our guests.

A Gose beer is a traditional “sour” beer traditionally from Germany dating back centuries.

Classically Gose style beers feature very little in the way of hops, but will feature salt, fruits and herbs.

Generally a Gose is lighter in alcohol and meant to be a summertime thrist quenching draft.

The Saison is another northern European style of beer that is really pleasant when incorporating a fruit harvest into the recipe.

We’ve done small batches of the Boysenberry Saison and it’s exactly that blend of fruit and beer that you dream about.
