Located on 1,500 acres of farmland in the humble community of Gay, Georgia, Towerhouse Farm Brewery offers locals and visitors more than a place to kick back and enjoy a cold one. It offers locally crafted brews fresh to table from its own crops.
“At Towerhouse Farm Brewery, one of our long term goals is to create a 100% born-and-raised farm to table beverage,” according to the brewery’s website. “We plan to grow and harvest every ingredient from the soil of the farm: yeast, water, hops, malt, and spices. In the Spring of 2020 we completed an 80-plant hop farm capable of producing hundreds of pounds of fresh Georgia grown hops. Additionally, Barley was planted in the winter of 2020 to test the viability of grain production on our farm. We hope to produce and enjoy some of the worlds greatest beers.”
It’s barrel-aged beer unlike any other in the state, as no other brewery offers a locally crafted farm-to-glass product.
“Our farm brewery, housed in a repurposed tobacco barn, is designed for the merging of old-world traditions and flavors with new-world brewing technology,” according to the website. “Each of our 56-gallon brewhouse kettles can brew 125 pounds of grain and 48 oz of hops to produce 200 magnum bottles worth of delightful Belgian beer.”
The menu is constantly updated with new special and seasonal style brews, but always offers something tasty. From the mango seltzer to the 1911 porter, the flavors vary with every offering.
For families simply looking for a good bite to eat, “The Farmstand” is an outdoor taproom that offers an authentic farm-style experience to guests both over and under 21.
