Persimmon Hollow and Terrapin Beer Collaborate

Persimmon Hollow Brewing welcomed Terrapin Beer Company’s President and Co-Founder into their facility for a collaborative brew on December 29, 2014. Holler Hopper starts with the base of a traditional Belgian Golden Ale but also adds the typical Terrapin twist by using more flavorful American Hop varieties. This beer is brewed with Candi Sugar to help increase alcohol content while still having a dry finish and lighter body to let the hops shine through.

“It’s an honor for Robbie (Carelli) and I to brew with Terrapin,” said Persimmon Hollow’s Andy Sistrunk.  “We originally had our homebrew being served at the 2012 Deland Beer Fest, and it was the Terrapin people who convinced us our beers were good enough to go pro. When John was down for the fest last year, we really hit it off and knew we had to do a collaboration at some point.”

Holler Hopper will be released during Volusia Beer Week January 30 – February 8, 2015. The highlight of the week is the Deland Craft Beer Festival on February 7th, the very place where Andy, Robbie and John met a year ago.

“I’m excited to be heading back to the Deland Beer Fest,” stated Terrapin Beer’s John Cochran. “For me it was a highlight of the year in 2014 and having the chance to brew with Andy and Robbie is going to be fun. I started my first job in a craft brewery in early 1995, so this brew is one way I can celebrate 20 years in this crazy and wonderful industry.”

Malts: Pilsner Malt, Crystal 10, Wheat Flakes

Holler Hopper will be packaged in 22 oz. bottles for sale only in Persimmon Hollow’s tasting room while 1/6 BBL kegs will be released in February 2015, with availability throughout Persimmon Hollow’s distribution network.

Persimmon Hollow Brewing Company is in the midst of opening their brewery in DeLand, Florida. Founders, Andy Sistrunk and Robbie Carelli are home brewers who decided to make the jump and pursue their dream of opening a microbrewery to become DeLand’s first and only craft brewery.

Slated to open August 2014, Persimmon Hollow will begin with a 15 bbl American Beer Equipment made brewhouse pushing out an estimated 2,000 bbls of beer in the first year. They will also utilize a one-barrel test system for recipe creation and one-off beers. Their focus is creating Belgian and American-style ales and will offer 5 year-round products: Dee-land White Boy Belgian Wit, Daytona Dirty Blonde American Blonde Ale, Beach Hippie IPA, Sunburnt Tourist American Red Ale and Funky Freddy Fitz Belgian Stout.  They will also release regular seasonal and limited releases. First distributing their beers in keg they hope to start to canning by the end of their second year.

“Our passion is to create great beer. It all starts there. We use as many locally sourced ingredients as we can and are passionate about making great local beer. We want to put craft beer on a shelf where everyone can reach it, whether they are new to craft beer or a long time craft drinker.” says Andy Sistrunk.

Their local focus is deeply rooted in area. The brewery name stems from the original name of the DeLand before it became a city in 1876. Wild persimmons, a native edible fruit, formerly grew in the region abundantly. With their passion for craft beer and enthusiasm for the area, Persimmon Hollow has their sights on bringing DeLand into the craft beer spotlight with their Florida-inspired beers.
