Nod Hill Brewery In Ridgefield To Debut New Weir Farm Beer

RIDGEFIELD, CT — Nod Hill Brewery will be releasing a limited edition, small craft "Friends of Weir Farm India Pale Ale" on Sunday, from noon to 4 p.m., in its biergarten.

The IPA was created to honor Weir Farm National Historical Park, the brewery's neighbor just over the town line in Wilton. The can will feature a custom label by local artist Bobbi Eike Mullen showing an image of Julian Alden Weir painting the Weir Farm landscape.

David Kaye, Nod Hill Brewery founding partner and general manager said, "We are proud to be a friend and neighbor to Weir Farm National Historical Park. This unique New England style IPA was brewed to celebrate our appreciation of the park and our partnership with the Friends of Weir Farm."

The event is free and open to the public, and will be held rain or shine. No registration required. Food for purchase will be available from the On the Fly food truck, and live bluegrass will be provided by On the Trail.

"We are excited to collaborate with Nod Hill Brewery to raise public awareness of Connecticut’s jewel within the National Park Service," said Therese Servas, member of Board of Directors of the Friends of Weir Farm. "We hope visitors will make time to visit the park, just 2 miles, or about 5 minutes, away from the Biergarten, to enjoy its trails and landscapes, experience the new Visitor Center, and the enjoy the new outdoor art exhibit of life-sized Art Bears featuring contemporary artists’ paintings of the park."

Nod Hill Brewery is located at 137 Ethan Allen Highway, Route 7, in Ridgefield. Weir Farm National Historic Park is at 735 Nod Hill Road, in Wilton.
