2/10/2018 -- Ambient Terrain Collaboration Release

Ambient Terrain: Rustic Lager Series • Pinnacle of Dreams/Savages of Ruminating Minds India Pale Ale

Ambient Terrain is a series of rustic lagers to be produced at Burial Beer Co. throughout 2018. Each brew in the series will be a three-way collaboration between Burial, a partner brewery and a craft maltster local to the collaborating brewery. When selecting our partners it was important to us to choose breweries that we not only deeply admire but also represent, geographically, a wide swath of America. A critical goal of the series is to bring the distinct flavors, otherwise known as “terroir”, of this amazing country to Asheville. We aimed to partner with friends from the Northwest, the Southwest, the Midwest, the Northeast and the Southeast.

It only felt right to make the first beer in the series a celebration of Western North Carolina and whom else could we possibly choose as a partner but Fonta Flora. Arguably, there is no other brewery in the region as dedicated to local ingredients and through doing so, they have always been extremely inspirational to us. They’ve also become very close personal friends of ours, not unlike the amazing folks behind Riverbend Malthouse, an equally obvious choice of partner for this first beer.

We are not only proud of this series of beers but we are also proud to partner with Fonta Flora Brewery and Riverbend Malt House. We are excited to tell the story of the series and of the importance of craft malt. Both Fonta Flora and Riverbend have important stories to tell as well, not only of their humble beginnings but of their recent expansions.
