Peace Tree Brewing Co.Knoxville, IA
Looking back at our very first batches five years ago, we reflect on our evolution as a brewery. We’ve grown quicker than we could have imagined and owe that success to all of you who’ve supported our dream. The beer in this bottle has also been evolving. It began fermenting as an amber ale more than three years ago, and was then introduced to used oak barrels with an in-house wild yeast. We finally finished aging with Brettanomyces to lend a slight tart cherry character. We celebrate our first five years with this barrel-aged brew and raise a toast to the next five! This beer has been bottle conditioned and will be presented slightly flat in the traditional style. Brewmaster Joe has personally roused each bottle to promote bottle conditioning.

Belgian Golden Strong Ale8.5% ABV35 IBU
Peace Tree Brewing Co.Knoxville, IA
Our Belgian-Style Blonde Ale will steal your heart as the unfiltered golden hue seduces your taste buds with surprising smoothness. It’s delicately hopped with Styrian Golding and Celeia for medium aroma with a crisp and refreshing bite. The Belgian yeast adds hints of fruity complexity, but be warned – its mysterious charm will draw you in again and again.
Gose5.3% ABV
Peace Tree Brewing Co.Knoxville, IA
There is so much a beer can tell you, so much it can say. Kiss from a Gose is our twist on a classic German gose (pronounced “goes-uh”). This cloudy, golden ale is brewed with malted wheat and barley and undergoes a kettle souring for pronounced tartness. Coriander and hops complement the acidity with a dry spiciness. Premium sea salt from the Oregon coast is added for a hint of brine and the addition of rose hips imparts a subtly floral, citrus character. This refreshingly tart ale is brewed with our power, our pleasure and our pain. The more you taste of it, the stranger it feels. 5.25% ABV.
