Tree HouseBeersOld Growth
Old Growth is our Kentucky Common Ale and a companion to our House-made Bourbon, Old Growth. Brewed with a wealth of available information, we utilize 6-row barley, corn, crystal malt, black malt, and Cluster hops to recreate this historical style that is mostly lost to our past.

On the Classic wheel, from Tree House’s own descriptions of this beer.
The past is alive for those willing to make it. Old Growth, our Kentucky Common, returns today, once again giving us a glimpse into the country's brewing past. It's a delicious and easygoing ale with notes of caramel, sweet corn, and a hint of floral spice. The prohibition years did more than kill off established breweries; entire styles disappeared. The Kentucky common was a regional ale, similar to a Cream Ale but darker and more flavorful. There was a time when it made up 80% of the market around Louisville. Craft beer fans' insatiable curiosity helped give this forgotten style a second life; while it is still rare, especially outside of Kentucky, we're happy to give it its due praise. Ours is made with traditional ingredients, including corn, 6-row barley, black malt, and the oldest known American hop variety, Cluster hops. If you're serving friends at your home bar, its subtle sweetness and drinkability make it a perfect companion to any of our bourbon vintages. A one-of-a-kind boilermaker indeed.
Compared to much of the world, American beer culture is quite young. Despite our youth, we've contributed a wide range of styles to the scene, so many that some have fallen through the cracks of public consciousness. The Kentucky Common is one of those rarities, and through diligent research, we've added our name to its short list of purveyors in hopes of keeping its flame alive. With historically accurate ingredients in mind, we use 6-row barley, corn, crystal malt, black malt, and Cluster hops in our recipe. Old Growth pours a deep amber color and carries flavors of sweet corn, mild caramel malt, and earthy American hops. It's a beer worthy of your attention. #productphotography #productphotodaily #photography #craftbeer #treehousebrewing #beergram #beerstagram #beersandcameras #beerlover #beerbeerbeer #beerme #beergeek #beertography #beernerd #fujifilm #gfx100II @fujifilmx_us @profoto
