For the love of malt: Scotch Ale! Old World is brewed with a complex array of grains and a hint of smoked malt in the grist. Within its beautiful chestnut color, notes of peat smoke, caramel, and varied nuttiness wash over the palate. It's an ideal beer to follow a brisk winter walk or maybe even on the sidelines of the local pond hockey tournament. It's a beautiful beer, and remarkably rare in today's beer landscape. #productphotography #productphotodaily #photography #craftbeer #treehousebrewing #beergram #beerstagram #beersandcameras #beerlover #beerbeerbeer #beerme #beergeek #beertography #beernerd #fujifilm #gfx100II @fujifilmx_us @profoto

Ancient World is our spin on a barrel-aged Scotch Ale. We've let our beloved Old World mature in various oak barrels for just over a year, allowing a wholly new and original beer with depth and complexity to emerge. Pouring a deep chestnut color in the glass, Ancient World greets you with bold vanilla and oak bourbon notes alongside subtle hints of smoke and char. These meld seamlessly with the robust character of toffee, caramel, and dark fruit, all culminating in a finish that offers a gentle warmth courtesy of the barrel aging. We are thrilled to present you with this amplified take on a truly classic style, and we hope you will sit back and savor a bit of the Ancient World. #productphotography #productphotodaily #photography #craftbeer #treehousebrewing #beergram #beerstagram #beersandcameras #beerlover #beerbeerbeer #beerme #beergeek #beertography #beernerd #fujifilm #gfx100II @fujifilmx_us @profoto
