Agricultural connections run deep for J.C. and Esther Tetreault, and for this New England brewing power couple (and now farm owners), memorable and influential beers are inextricably tied to the land that has helped produce them. It’s no surprise that they feel a kinship to brewers who hold similar values and pursue similar strategies, and this six-pack of beers in many ways reflects those ties that connect them.

Connecting on values is core for Trillium—beers may have similar flavors, beautifully executed, but that next step into the question of “why” is the thing that drives them. They’ve aligned their brewery, restaurant, and farm to focus on creating healthy, sustainable food systems, and they’re increasingly moved by fellow brewers and beers that express a similar passion.

“As craft beer has matured, we have the opportunity to dig even deeper into our communities and into the agricultural roots, where it all comes from,” says J.C. Tetreault.
