ROOT  HOUSE  BEER  FESTIVAL

September 30, 2022    5:30pm-9:00pm
​

We are excited to welcome Red Hare Brewing & Distilling and Glover Park Brewery to the William Root House for our 7th annual Root House Beer Festival. Every year the festival features a collection of local beers, including some crafted using hops, fruit, and herbs grown in the gardens on the Root House property. Built in the 1840s, the Root House was originally owned by Marietta’s first druggist, William Root. William would have grown many medicinal plants in his garden, including hops, which would have been used to relieve sleeplessness and anxiety.

2021  BEER LIST


Picture
Cabin Fever Pumpkin Ale 6% ABV 
​Brewed with pumpkin and Marris Otter malts for full body and flavor, this beer  brings fall spice to life.

The Whole Cone IPL 4.7% ABV
Whole fresh cone hops from the Root House went into the mash, boil, whirlpool, and dry-hop to give this India Pale Lager a punch of hoppy flavor while keeping it smooth and crushable.  
​

Simpson's Scotch Ale   8.5 % ABV
Hannah Root's father, Leonard Simpson, ran a tavern on the Marietta Square during the 1830s. This scotch ale, named in his honor, has smooth roasted notes of caramel and toffee that complement the subtle alcohol warmth, leaving a pleasant finish to this medium-bodied ale that's perfect for sipping.

Holy Schnitzel
Signaling the changing of seasons and all the things we love about fall, this beer is loaded with Munich malts, giving it a hint of toasted sweetness on the front end. It finishes crisp, clean and dry thanks to extensive lagering.
