Stop number two is at Hildegard Ferments and Botanicals. Co-owners Rosa Vissers and Howard Kuo have created half herbal remedy shop with a brewery that follows the seasons.
Here are some beer choices to consider…
Lux Table Bier – “A well hopped golden table bier fermented cold with a touch of dry hop that is endlessly drinkable and balanced with an unexpected depth. Lux exhibits a fine bitterness and lightly warmed ciabatta bread downwind from an herb garden.”
Tula Saison Batch # 2 – “With the cold snap we experienced back in November, our little brewery got cold. As all of our ferments slowed to a crawl, we had to get creative in order to brew a saison to our liking.”
Viriditas Jun Nettle – “Our newest recipe, this one is a keeper. Tastes like lemonade, sandalwood, a little earthy, some fresh pine. Picture yourself taking a stroll outside on one of the first sunny spring days…the sun kisses your face, the air smells amazing, the birds are singing, and you are feeling yourself. That’s how this Jun tastes.
In addition to Stinging Nettle (ethically gathered by us), there’s Lavender and Geranium from our Hildegarden. Inspired by our recent trip to Baja California Sur, we also added Damiana, which is indigenous to BCS.”
