Avery - Ales of Antiquity: Monticello

In honor of President's Day, we're releasing our next Ales of Antiquity beer! Monticello, a persimmon wheat ale. Monticello is the tenth release in the Ales of Antiquity series. Travis Rupp, professor at CU Boulder and head of the Avery Barrel Program, researched Thomas Jefferson's personal journals to create this historic brew. The Monticello recipe is based on references to a beer brewed for Thomas Jefferson by Peter Hemings, who was enslaved at Monticello in 1822. Monticello is barrel-fermented with persimmon puree added.
