The Seed : A Living Beer Project

The Seed: A Living Beer Project
At The Seed, beer is more than a beverage—it’s a living expression of nature, local agriculture, and wild fermentation. Every brew tells a story shaped by indigenous ingredients, seasonal variability, and the natural beauty of the region.

We work with locally grown grains, foraged fruit and botanicals, and wild microbes to craft beers that reflect the land, the seasons, and the people who care for them. By embracing nature’s unpredictability, we create complex, thoughtful beers that are deeply connected to the world around us.

Rooted in nature. Crafted with purpose. Shared with love.
