Deciduous Brewing got on its legs in 2014, when Frank Zagami and a few business partners threw in together. In a short time the brewery has made a name for itself, landing in any number of “Best Of” lists around town and the state. One of the notable programs for the brewery is their fruited sour program, using yeast thought to be lost to the brewing world. Their taproom resides in Newmarket, New Hampshire and is well-worth stopping by to take advantage of their curb-side service. A handful of regulars make up the two dozen different styles available, but many times there’s a seasonal experiment worth grabbing. The Shortlist is a German-style Pilsner using oldschool techniques close to the original “Kellerbier” style. Smooth, cloudy, and rich in taste. Serves well at 10°C and can hang in the cellar up to six months.
