Zeus Brewing Company and Poughkeepsie Farm Project are partnering for something special this harvest season! Our P.F.L., aka, Poughkeepsie Farm Lager, is now available for pre-sales through the Poughkeepsie Farm Project farm store to support our annual Soup-A-Bowl fundraiser.

This limited edition beer is a first for the farm. Pat Lang, The Farm Project's farmer, worked in tandem with Zeus' Brewer, Amit Ram, to create an easy-drinking lager that highlights the bounty of fall. Made with Poughkeepsie Farm Project's butternut squash, sweet potatoes and honey, Ram made it a point to source malted barley, rye and hops all grown and processed in the Hudson Valley, making it a 100% Hudson Valley Beer and a perfect complement to comfort foods and family feasts alike.

“This was the perfect opportunity to work with another local City of Poughkeepsie business as it allows us to deepen our connection with our community while amplifying the breadth of opportunity in the Queen City”, Poughkeepsie Farm Project’s Executive Director, Madeline Henriquez says. “We are delighted to have the support of Zeus this year and look forward to working with our many local partner organizations and businesses to carry out our important work.”

Zeus Brewing Co. Owner, Jeremy Phillips, was excited to partner with the farm when the opportunity arose, “We thought working with PFP would be such a cool project. It’s not often that you can source ingredients to make a beer right from your backyard so to speak. We can’t wait to taste the beer and look forward to a great event on the 17th!”

P.F.L. is a light 4.3% ABV lager that Ram says, “is an expression of local agriculture and the community which it originates from joined together in balance and harmony. The result is a smooth crisp harvest lager designed to ease you into the fall season.”

Flavor notes of airy fresh baked biscuits with a subtle honeydew note in the background make P.F.L. a beer that won’t last long. Pre-sales are now open and run through October 10th on our farm store with a special price of $20 for a 4-pack of 16oz cans. Pick up will be at the Soup-A-Bowl, October 17th, from 12-4PM at the The Environmental Cooperative Barn at 50 Vassar Farm Ln, Poughkeepsie, NY 12603. No Soup-A-Bowl ticket purchase is needed to buy the beer, but with exciting raffle prizes, handmade pottery and delicious soups available, it’s hard not to!

Proceeds from P.F.L. beer sales and all sales made at the Soup-A-Bowl go directly back to the farm’s charitable giving and education programs, including our Farm to School initiative, community education and food share donations for food insecure neighbors. Locally-made beer that tastes good and does good? Now that’s something we can all toast to.
