Since I will be making my triumphant return to Denver for the Great American Beer Festival, I thought that this month, I would focus on three little known breweries that I will attempt to sample from while I am there.
First up is Back Forty Beer from Gadsden, Alabama.
Per their website, they have four offerings currently Naked Pig Pale, Truck Stop Honey (which is a brown ale), Freckle Belly IPA and Kudzu porter. The artwork for the labels is simple but very effective especially for the Naked Pig which is described as “German malts provide a perfect balance to the five hop additions that go into every batch we make.”
Sounds good to me! I will add a review below if I get the chance to taste it!
Does Back Forty actually include kudzu in the porter? It’s an invasive vine that’s run rampant in The South. If they found a use for it, great.
No Kudzu. They simply say that the beer “grows on you.”
