FULLSTEAM: JANUARY 2020 FARM REPORT

PIONEERING A SOUTHERN BEER ECONOMY

Since launching in 2010, Fullsteam has purchased over $500,000 in Southern-sourced ingredients -- primarily from North Carolina farms.

To start out the new year, January's Southern farm purchases -- 3.48 tons and over $7,000 in Southern ingredients -- consisted mostly of North Carolina grains for core beers, a couple of modern IPAs, a witbier, and a kettle sour.

For our upcoming Tuxpeño cream ale, we were excited to purchase Tuxpeño -- a heritage, landrace corn locally farmed in Eastern N.C., collected by Farm & Sparrow in Western N.C., and locally malted by our friends at Epiphany Craft Malt.

Fullsteam is a Certified Craft Malt Brewery, committed to sourcing 10 percent or more grains from a certified craft malt house. Learn more about this program at the Craft Malsters Guild.

NOTES

  1. Fullsteam defines "Southern" as the swath of land from Washington D.C. to Louisiana. That said, North Carolina farms, maltsters, and foragers account for the vast majority (>95%) of these Southern ingredients.
  2. For the purposes of this report, we only include grains farmed and malted in the South.
  3. To find each beer's percent local by weight, look for the "% local" designation on the beer label or its entry on our website.
