Fermented Forest Series: Applefest by Bizy Does It.

6.3% ABV, 18.1 IBU

Inspired by Bayfield’s renowned Apple Festival, which is celebrated with extraordinary fanfare. South Shore Brewery adds to the fanfare with the Applefest Ale, which honors those diligent folks that call our Bayfield peninsula their home, especially those who have chosen an agricultural way of life. Combining the flavors and aromas of locally produced honey, apple cider, and specialty malts, we have produced one of the most unique products, to be sure. Because of the generous amounts of honey, the special maturation process with the apple cider, and the unique flavors of malt, this brew is indefinable in conventional beer terms. It has characteristics of beer, mead, and champagne. Our brewer encourages you to cellar a bottle or two for special occasions.

The Connection to Agriculture

Just putting fresh apple cider into beer was a novel way to think about things back in 1996, who would have imagined putting apples in beer? Bo Bélanger shuddered at that. "...I thought apple juice, yuck. So we thought about our Nut Brown, that it tastes like cheerios and then we thought, 'Apple Jacks'! Once we got the cereal part right, the addition of how to put the apples into the beer was a challenge. It was when we made the connection using fresh apple cider, not apple juice, that the product blossomed. Our Applefest Ale is a marriage of all three things that are good; mead, because there's a lot of honey in that, the beer, because of the cereal grains, and the addition of fresh cider brings in the apple...a beautiful mixture. Best of all three worlds. We've carried that tradition of using local ingredients in our beer, that agricultural connection of this area. Beer is an agricultural product and it's a hard life being a farmer. Brewing ain't easy, neither is farming. We feel an affinity with our farmers and our growers."
