Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens and Seventh Son Brewing are collaborating on a beer and three cocktails inspired by the Conservatory’s botanicals. Funds from each beer and cocktail sold support the Conservatory’s nonprofit mission thanks to Seventh Son’s Giving Everyday program. The beer and cocktails will be available March 2-June 1, 2023 at Seventh Son, Antiques on High and Getaway Brewing and highlighted at various events at Seventh Son and the Conservatory.
Biome Beer
Biome is a Botanical Belgian Wheat Ale. It features a base of barley, wheat, oats, hops from New Zealand, dragon fruit puree and dried chamomile flowers. The ale blooms with botanical flavors and the chamomile comes through on the nose. The dragonfruit puree contributes a wonderful golden-pink hue.
Biome is special because it's of the Conservatory itself! Last year, Seventh Son’s team collected samples from fruits and flowers at the Conservatory with the intention of finding yeast with positive brewing characteristics. Yeast found on a dragon fruit in the Desert Biome managed to ferment beer wort and was used to co-ferment the beer.
Where To Find: The beer will be available at Seventh Son on draft and in six packs. Biome can also be enjoyed at the Conservatory's Garden Café and during Cocktails at the Conservatory events. Seventh Son is located at 1101 North 4th Street, Columbus, Ohio 43201.
