Southern Basil - Ale

Basil is a fine herb that is mainly used in Mediterranean cuisine. We pluck it in large quantities over tomatoes and mozzarella, process it with roasted pine nuts, sliced Parmesan and extra virgin olive oil to make delicious pesto, We add it to butter, salad dressings or risotto and, if we are in a particularly adventurous mood, add it to our ice cream and serve it with strawberries and a splash of good balsamic vinegar:inside, but also by experimental brewers

This bold group also includes the team from the Fullstream brewery in Durham They use basil from three local farmers to brew an unconventional summer beer that perfectly captures the diverse aroma of the green wonder The regional malt variety Epiphany and Appalachian wheat from the Riverbend Malt House in Asheville form a solid base and deliver soft grain notes, The hops contribute delicate citrus notes, which form a skillful symbiosis with the spicy, earthy herbal tones of basil A dry, basil-tasting finish crowns the beer enjoyment and makes you want to open another can right away
