HOOD RIVER, Oregon – Zupan’s Markets has partnered with Hood River’s Ferment Brewing Co. to develop the 17th beer in its Farm-to-Market lineup. Named ‘Whack & Peel Farm-to-Market Stout,’ this beer is a nod to the traditional holiday chocolate oranges. With a nose of rich roasted malts, distinct aromas of rum barrel, and a dance of orange peel from Spain, Haiti and Paraguay, this beer is well-suited for the cozier months.
“We’re incredibly excited to be partnering with Ferment again for the 17th installment in our Farm-to-Market series,” said Zupan’s Markets President and CEO Mike Zupan. “Dan’s unique scientific approach to his beers continues to produce delicious results, and we think this stout is the perfect way to warm customers on brisk autumn days.”
The Whack & Peel Farm-to-Market Stout is available at all three Zupan’s Markets locations in a 500ml glass bottle for $14.99.
“Zupan’s Markets continue to be incredible supporters of Oregon’s craft breweries, and it has been awesome to work with them in creating another delicious stout,” said Ferment Brewmaster Dan Peterson. “This beer is aged in rum barrels and is rich, creamy, bold, and surprisingly versatile, the perfect addition going into these fall and winter months.” Farm to Market Beer Profile:
ABV: 11% Tasting Notes: Upon tasting, notes of dark, winey chocolate, leather, blackstrap molasses and oak build and give way to warm citrus oils in a prolonged finish. Pairs well with fires on cold nights, time shared with family and friends after a good meal, and contemplation of goodness in the world.
