Proudly woman-owned nanobrewery Fibonacci has announced the release of a delectable new brown ale that was created as part of a collaboration between the company and the Southern Ohio Chestnut Company, making it no surprise that chestnuts are a crucial ingredient in the beer.
The 'Castanea No. 9' beer was inspired by a discussion around the potential of bringing back chestnut beers, which have a long and storied history. What's more, lovers of this delicious and wonderfully satisfying brown ale will be delighted to hear that 'Castanea No. 9' is poised to be the first of several experimental chestnut brews.
This unique chestnut beer is a tribute to the rich culinary and brewing history of the chestnut and a testament to the power of community. We hope beer lovers and friends can join us in enjoying our first beer brewed with chestnuts," pointed out head brewer Alex Rhinehart.
