WILLIAMSTON, Mich. – Old Nation Brewery announced today the release of Night Farmer, their first porter available for distribution outside of their brewery in Williamston.
A classic smooth porter created by Old Nation’s three senior brewers – Nate Rykse, Joe Kavanaugh and co-founder Travis Fritts – Night Farmer uses a blend of malt from the Great Lakes, Canada and England: pale, victory, black and chocolate. This combination gives the porter rich and varied layers of malt flavor, yet a robust and traditionally balanced finish.
“Our goal for Night Farmer was to come together and make a showcase for some of our favorite “ale” malts to create a more robust porter while staying true to classic examples of the porter style from Great Britain,” said Fritts. “These handmade malts create an appropriately robust and traditionally drinkable version of this style of beer and I’m confident fans of Old Nation and porters will agree when they try it.”
Available beginning today, in a four-pack of 16-ounce cans, Night Farmer Porter will be sold primarily in Michigan with limited quantities reaching retailers in other Great Lakes area markets.
