It is an utterly unique beer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a NATURALLY SOURED ALE. The current brew has been made using fresh whole hop flowers only possible once a year! Features farm grown raw ingredients. The spelt, barley and rare, aromatic hops are from both our own and other carefully selected farms along the Derwent River Valley. Using the indigenous micro flora present on the grain, we encourage a 36-hour lactic fermentation of the wort prior to inoculation with selected yeast. The rarity of individual ingredients, coupled with the very specialized brewing technique leads to an exceptionally unique brew of unparalleled regional character. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Two Metre Tall","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45144878579967,"sku":"31051","price":13.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2449\/1003\/files\/4D45D803-9EE7-4FB8-B0C4-3908AFDA9A31.jpg?v=1712645958"},{"product_id":"two-metre-tall-huon-farmhouse-dry-apple-cider-375ml","title":"Two Metre Tall Huon Farmhouse Dry Apple Cider 375ml","description":"\u003cdiv data-css-2x7ng=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-css-1ss06kn=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we discovered the Griggs family at Lucaston Orchard in the Huon Valley were still growing the famous old English cider variety, Sturmer Pippin that was all the motivation we needed to produce a traditional unfiltered, bottle fermented farmhouse cider made using only apples and yeast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Two Metre Tall","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45144896110847,"sku":"11209","price":15.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2449\/1003\/files\/93AA35D5-E1E7-424C-B5A4-0A6F50893687.jpg?v=1712645920"},{"product_id":"two-metre-tall-ba-sour-pumpkin-ale-750ml","title":"Two Metre Tall BA Sour Pumpkin Ale 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlood rushing, on stage, Two Metre Tall loudly proclaimed \"it's only grapes\"!
