Two Metre Tall Snakebite Wild Cider/Farmhouse Ale (2011-18) 750ml Bottle






Originally a winemaker in southern France, Ashley Huntington and his family moved to a 580 hectare farm in the Derwent Valley in 2004. Originally looking to plant vines to make wine, they fell in love with Tasmania's rich hop growing history and established Two Metre Tall instead. A true farmhouse brewery, using estate-grown & local ingredients and exclusively wild and mixed culture ferments with indigenous yeasts and local microflora. Ashley is a pioneer of sour and natural fermentation and one of the most important figures in farmhouse brewing. "This one is controversial! It will sink the cognoscenti and challenge all-comers. But if you never push-the-boundaries, you never know where you really are nor what you are capable of. Don’t you worry though, if you can’t, or won’t or don’t, TwoMetreTall will push your boundaries for you! That’s what we do! | Snakebite returns as a blend of 54% wild-fermented cider & 46% wild-fermented farmhouse ale, with an average blend age of just under 6-years, the oldest component is 10-years-old, & the youngest is 3-years. Fascinating enough, but here’s the real magic. Each component of the blend (& there are many components!) was individually matured under its own wild flor." - Ashley Huntington
