Alexandria’s Cabinet Artisanal Brewhouse embraces the strange<\/a> – The Alexandria Times<\/em>
\nThe former Shenandoah Brewing Co. location (I didn’t know that it closed; I brewed beer with my alumni chapter there in 2002 or so) has become Cabinet Artisanal Brewhouse<\/a> with emphasis on the “art” rather than the science of brewing. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re here in the industrial side of Alexandria, but we\u2019re just a basic, rustic farmhouse [brewery]. It\u2019s a strange scenario. I like to embrace the strange….\u201d<\/p>\n

Though not operating at full steam yet, Hawbaker\u2019s already brewing farmhouse ales, playing with a strain of yeast he\u2019s particularly proud of and experimenting with wild bacteria \u2014 \u201cI\u2019ve been called a bug collector,\u201d he said. If you had to pigeonhole what Hawbaker\u2019s crafting it would be something akin to saisons.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very rustic and flavorful,\u201d Hawbaker said. \u201cThey can be very dry, not real heavy or rich. A lot of guys focus on bigger beers. I do some strong beers, but our main focus is really on lower alcohol beers that are really flavorful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Farmhouse beers aren\u2019t technically anything new. The style harkens back to a time before the industrial revolution, said Greg Engert, the local Neighborhood Food Group\u2019s beer director, when farmers home brewed regularly.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeer was the mainstay of everyday life in a lot of areas where grain grew better than apples or grapes because water wasn\u2019t totable all that well,\u201d he said. \u201cUntil the 19th century, beer was the drink of everyday life.\u201d<\/p>\n

The consolidation of breweries, advent of sanitation and new technology combined to sideline the older way of making beer, but craft brewers increasingly are returning to the older methods. By eschewing a temperature controlled fermentation process, Hawbaker takes it a step further.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Just early today, I was noting on Twitter with @thefolkist that it was getting hard to keep track of all the breweries in the D.C. area that have popped up. This is the second one in the city of Alexandria (I toured the other, Port City<\/a>, recently and need to get that post up) with another coming in the next few years. This one should be interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
