Named for the familiar phrase, “word is bond,” the idea for Wort is Bond began with a promise to brew together one day. This past April, brewers from Ithaca Beer and Good Nature Brewing made good on their word. They came together to create a tart yet earthy saison-style ale from pilsner, spelt, and rye malts grown in New York as well as cascade hops also grown in New York, and Polish Lublin hops. Fermented with a farm-house ale yeast and wild brettanomyces B and L yeast strains for a crisp clean finish, Wort weighs in at a hearty 6.3% alcohol by volume.
Last night, Ithaca Beer hosted Good Nature Brewing in their Taproom to premier Wort and also offer three Good Nature beers on draft: Annie – Imperial IPA, American Nut Brown, and Bavarian Dream – a German-style summer wheat beer. Tonight, Good Nature will celebrate the release in their Tap Room in Hamilton, NY.
Wort will go on draft in the coming weeks at select bars and restaurants around Ithaca, Hamilton, Syracuse, and Rochester areas where both breweries distribute.
