Unexpected Pairings: Cloud Forest Cardamom Ale

Believe it or not, spices are still grown much the same way they have been for thousands of years – almost entirely on small farms, picked by hand, and dried in the sun. For millennia, the far-flungsources of the lucrative spice trade were kept a carefully guarded secret and, even to this day, a complex supply chain has distanced consumers from spice makers. Former NYC line cook Ethan Frisch is working to change all that. Co-founder of the single origin spice company Burlap & Barrel, Frisch roams the world to find its most incredible spices and support the generations-old family farms that grow them. Now, he’s collaborating with Garrett Oliver, longtime brewmaster at Brooklyn Brewery, to create a new beer using yellow cardamom from the cloud forests of Guatemala and ground black lime. The two sit down with Edible Manhattan’s editor-in-chief Ariel Lauren Wilson to share their work; afterwards, we invite you to sample the beer yourself at an outdoor reception on our Terrace.
