Craft beer has a reputation for being out of touch and extravagant, but the modern movement is more about building on the high art of brewing from times long past. Even if you sometimes find crazy ingredients on the labels of today's creations, there is still a lot of craftsmanship and expertise passed down from generation to generation behind them. This is a great development, especially in the United States, where many beers come from large industrial breweries.
The New Sarum brewery from Salisbury in North Carolina takes up this topic and impressively shows how historical brewing art can be transported into the here and now using contemporary raw materials. With attention to detail and dedication, the team reconstructs techniques of the centuries-old brewing craft and creates recipes that combine the best of the past and present. Every brewing project begins with extensive research into the planned beer style: the brewers pores over history books and try to find out as much as they can about it. Raw materials are then selected and the experimentation can begin. In a lengthy process, ingredients, methodology and taste are refined until the end result is a perfect brew. The best quality, full-bodiedness and outstanding aroma are the top priority.
The name of the company is based on Salisbury's English twin town. The town of the same name in Great Britain was called Old Sarum in settler times. The brewery's logo is made up of the coat of arms of Old Sarum and that of Salisbury and shows two golden griffins, a blue coat of arms with a barrel, ears of corn and a hop cone. Under the watchful eyes of the griffins, a range of down-to-earth beers is produced, which presents us with styles from other countries as well as American classics. In order to constantly develop and stay close to the pulse of the times, the brewers allow themselves to undertake projects and series that are more experimental and freer in addition to producing their core range, which is available all year round. They try out new and old fermentation techniques, mature brews in barrels and test new raw materials. On behalf of their customers, the brewers are always on the lookout for new taste revelations. If you want to experience the team's enthusiasm and passion for yourself, you can visit New Sarum: the taproom is located in the heart of the brewery. There you can drink freshly tapped beer and watch the brewers at work.
