Archetype Gatewood Appalachian

Gatewood Appalachian Lager – An inspired beer named after an inspiring woman. Emma Gatewood, known in these parts as Grandma Gatewood, was the first woman to complete the entire Appalachian Trail, from Georgia to Maine, solo and in one season. By September 1955 she stood atop Maine’s Mount Katahdin, sang “America, the Beautiful,” and proclaimed, “I said I’ll do it, and I’ve done it." Did we mention she was 67 years old? She completed the trail 2 more times, her last time in 1963 at the age of 75. This lager is a tribute to Appalachia, and it’s draw for adventure, challenge, and amazing reward. Brewed with NC-grown malts from Carolina Malt House and Riverbend Malt House, and a vault yeast from White Labs for a little more character than your classic lager. Mild spicy and herbal hop presence, balanced grainy sweetness, lightly toasted crackers. Crisp, refreshing, balanced.
