Beer

Rowley Farmhouse Ales is a farmhouse-style brewery with a focus on mixed culture fermentation. Our inspiration comes from American and European wild and mixed culture fermented ales. In addition to our own beers, we have an extensive draft and bottle list of the best available beers from New Mexico and around the world. Cheers!

It is the most admired AND imitated Saison in the world. A strong, vital yeast is key to full attenuation and thus to the style. Saison Dupont is straw colored with a dense creamy head. The nose is alive, like fresh raised bread, estery with citrus and spice notes. Full-bodied and malty, it sparkles on the palate and finishes with a zesty hop and citrus attack. Incredibly compatible with food!

Farmhouse Ale - Saison • Santa Fe, NM • 5.5% ABV • 14.0 IBUTea for Two is a house mixed culture fermented saison that we brewed with continental 6-row spring barley, Sonoran white wheat, Belgian Aromatic and flaked oats. We bittered it lightly to 14 IBU's so that it might see a bit of tartness from our house mixed culture over time. Lastly, we dry-hopped it with a healthy dose of Indonesian Earl Grey tea obtained from our good friend, and tea specialist, Marshall Maez. Raise a pinky if you like. Cheers!

20 • RFA • Ned Ryerson - Colkegan BBL

Barleywine • Santa Fe, NM • 14.0% ABV • 44.0 IBUNed Ryerson - Colkegan Barrel is our base barrel-aged "Ned" beer, which consists our 30% rye barleywine Ned Ryerson, but aged in freshly dumped Colkegan barrels for 16 months. Smooth operator operating correctly. Hang on, hombre!

In this variant, we double dosed our normal Germophile with 4 pounds per gallon of raspberries, and keg condition the resulting beer. Holy raspberry Batman!

22 • RFA • Mountain of Light - Apple

Sour - Fruited Gose • Santa Fe, NM • 4.7% ABV • 5.0 IBUMountain of Light is our foeder-fermented and bulk aged gose-style wheat beer. It is brewed with a large percentage of Mecca Grade Shaniko, Alvarado, and Wickiup wheats, along with Weyermann Extra Pale Pils basemalt. We sour the beer with our house lactobacillus strain, then ferment it using a healthy pitch of Dupont yeast. It then sees the resident house mixed culture embedded in our foeder wood interstices and is allowed to meld into a finished product over an extended period of time. It features a light touch salinity from Pacific sea salt added to the mash, lemony sourness from the lactobacillus fermentation, and a light touch of funk from the wood contact. It's light but complex, and ultimately refreshing. To this specific beer, we added a mix of local organic red and green apples from the former Georgia O'Keefe property up by Quail Run. Thanks for the apples, Brian! Cheers!

23 • RFA • Lover - Mango/Goldings Dry-Hopped

Lambic • Santa Fe, NM • 6.0% ABV • 5.0 IBULover is a blend of 2 different spontaneously fermented base beers, brewed 18 months apart from each other, both being aged in Chardonnay barriques from our good friends at Gruet Winery in Albuquerque.

The resulting beer was then packaged with local wildflower honey and allowed sufficient time to bottle/keg condition to perfection. This beer is most definitely a labor of love kind of project, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we had to be patient while it came to term. Cheers!

RFA • Ceremony

American Wild Ale with Tea • Santa Fe, NM • 5.0% ABV • 15.0 IBUWhen tea is consumed in many cultures, there is a distinct ceremonial aspect to the event. We wanted to celebrate this act of ceremony with a mixed fermentation saison brewed with a portion of rice in the grain bill, that was then dry-hopped with a unique tea blend. For this beer, we used Boulder Blues from the Tea Spot in Boulder, Colorado. This handcrafted blend combines tea fine Japanese Sencha and Chinese Dragonwell for a smooth base with wild strawberries and rhubarb flavors for a subtle twist. Luxurious aroma and brisk, vivid flavor. Smooth like the blues. This brew was made in collaboration with the fine folks at Fermly Craft Beer Laboratory, who are a fantastic resource for all your analysis needs. We hope you dig it as much as we did making it. Cheers!

RFA • Supernatant

Sour - Grüner Veltliner lees • Santa Fe, NM • 8.0% ABV • 5.0 IBUSupernantant is a heftier version of our Germophile base, that starts out via souring with the same lactobacillus strain we use in Germophile fermentations, but then we finish this beefy beer with a dose of Norwegian Farmhouse yeast, which is a Kveik type strain. We then rack the beer onto a healthy charge of Grüner Veltliner lees from our good friends at Vivac Winery up in Dixon. After an extended aging period on these lees, we then bottled this beer with Alfalfa honey. The result is a crisp and funky sour ale that is best enjoyed with a big chunk of soft rind cheese and good friends. Cheers! Lastly, some details: pH = 3.34, TA = 12.9 g/L

RFA • True to Caricature

Sour - Other • Santa Fe, NM • 7.0% ABV • 12.0 IBUTrue to Caricature is a beer we brewed with our friend Nate from Free Will Brewing in Perkasie, Pennsylvania. Nate is one of the top mixed fermentation brewers in the country, and we are proud to have brewed with him. If you're ever out that way, be sure to try his beer. You'll thank us later! True to Caricature is a beer that was co-fermented using both of our house mixed cultures in stainless steel, then gently aged in Santa Fe Spirits Atapino casks, along with Atapino-soaked piñon nuts. It exhibits a bright lemon acidity on the front of the palate, followed by delicate notes of pine and a creamy vanilla note in the finish. Special thanks to the amazing Em Sauter (@pintsandpanels) for the fun caricature! Cheers!

RFA • Western Lights - Estate Montmorency Cherry

• Santa Fe, NM • 6.2% ABV • 22.0 IBUWestern Lights is a long time coming collaboration with our good friend Kyle from Horus Aged Ales. We weren't happy with the initial batch, as the so we dialed in the recipe with lessons learned from the first brew, then racked the beer into freshly dumped sauvignon blanc barriques back in April of '22. The resulting saison is quite exquisite! We took an aliquot of this lovely base then aged it on organic Montmorency cherries that we picked off our own trees last summer. To call our humble little lot an estate is a stretch, but it sounds good doesn't it? Cheers!
