2 Metre Tall Huon Dark Apple Ale

TASTING NOTES

The Huon region directly south of Hobart is where Tasmania earnt the reputation as the ‘Apple Isle’.
But apples in a beer?
Wanting acidity to ‘freshen’ the beer and increase its drinkability and capacity to cellar, 2mt thought apples would be best applied to the strong flavours of dark ales. The result is well worth discovery.  It is their ‘red wine’ of ale and they recommend it be served in a wine glass, at room temperature with the meat dishes and cheeses normally accompanying such wines.

BREWERY SNAPSHOT

2mt are farmers brewing farmhouse ales & ciders in unique batches using farm grown ingredients from their own 600ha property in the Derwent Valley of Tasmania as well as ingredients sourced directly from farmers across the state. Barrel aging, spontaneous fermentations, experimentation and everything in between. Fruit in ale, sour cherries and more.

DID YOU KNOW?

‘Charlemont’ is the name of their 600 ha farm on the banks of the Derwent River in southern Tasmania.  Just a short 40 minute drive from the heart of Hobart along the road towards the north west.  With just 20 inches average annual rainfall, their farm provides some rural challenges. Fortunately the plentiful Derwent River provides a bountiful water supply.
