Return is a multifaceted brewing project that seeks to create accessible, traditional “Tavern” style beers alongside an extensive line of exploratory concepts.
These techniques include in-house fruit and herb processing to create farm-direct local “Garden” styles, a line of Eastern European-inspired farmhouse raw ales, country and primitive mixed ferments, old world sour tonics, a heat chamber to maderize beer, fruits, and nuts, an exploration into Whole Hive braggot, an extensive barrel-aging and blending fleet that comprises “Archive,” and more. Most Return beers will focus on the bounties of the Hudson Valley to create beers set in a time and place—however, Return’s hoppy ales will feature specific farms from across the globe to demonstrate unique terroir and characteristics in those exceptional hops.
