- As many of you know we have our federal license from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau + our NYS Farm Brewery license from the State Liquor Authority
- We are all set up with our Certificate of Authority from the Dept. of Taxation and Finance so that we have the authority to sell you all our creations
- We have started production and have brewed up some tantalizing beers just in time for the holidays
- "Tiny Acorn" - An acorn squash ale with 100% NYS malt from Farmhouse Maltery, and Plan Bee Farm Brewery's very own hops, lemongrass & coriander. And like our name, this tasty treat was bottle carbonated with our very own PBFB honey.
- "Tachiniki" - The name for this brew comes from the history of our surrounding land. Tachiniki was the name of a young woman from the Wappinger Tribe who was shot by a dutch settler in 1650 for picking a peach from his orchard. This action enacted THE PEACH TREE WAR throughout the entire Hudson Valley. This unique beer has NY malt, NY hops and NY yeast. We cultured the yeast from our very own peach tree on the farm. Fresh, this beer will taste spicy and fruity but this might be a brew to let age to discover its funkier flavors.
- "Chocolate Rye" - This was a divine dream made possible by Tuthilltown Spirits, our local farm distillery. We put PBFB farm-fresh NY chocolate rye ale into a Tuthilltown rye whiskey barrel and let age. Can someone say, "Mommy needs her mommy-juice"? This is delicious and quite the winter-warmer.
- "Santa's Big Helper" - Naughty or nice, this is a kick in the pants from the Big Man. A belgian tripel that was aged in Tuthilltown's bourbon barrel is full flavored. A sweet and boozy treat, this beer is in very limited supply. A good one to share with others around a fire.
- The Plan Bee Farm Brewery official website is under construction and I am using this blog as a place holder right now. Hopefully before 2014 is here, I will have a shiny new website for you to land on with a ton more information. The NY local web builder and gifted artist Rachel Kwapien is preparing something just beautiful and I can't wait to share with you her craft!
- We are working diligently to get all our paperwork in order to bring our product into the community of Beacon, NY at their local indoor winter farmer's market. We are shooting for Sunday, December 15th from 11AM to 3PM. More to come soon!
- Also in the works, we are building a farm stand at 14 Clove Road. As part of the farm brewery license, we are permitted to sell beer on the side of the road just like any farm stead that might be selling corn or eggs. We are working up the blueprints for our own little stand right on the premise. There will be more information and pictures to come!
- We are working with Sloop Brewery at the moment to do a cask event. I don't have the details locked down yet but as soon as it is all squared away I will be sure to send out that information.
