tinear seasonal is an
exploration of the flora of
New York state through beer.
our purpose
tinear seasonal’s recipes celebrate the changing seasons and agricultural gifts of New York. We acquire our ingredients from as nearby as possible, sometimes from as close as our own soil. Since our beers are tied so intimately to the land from which they come, our flavors are in a constant cycle of change, returning beer brewing to its agricultural roots.
the family and the land
tinear seasonal is housed on a idyllic plot in Gasport, New York. Three generations of our family have called this land home, with a fourth now exploring its boundaries. It was here that our late matriarch, Evelyn Kam, often tossed a whimsical threat at those who provoked her: “I’ll put a tin ear on you, kid.”
Our recipes are primarily crafted by Ren LaForme, a journalist and editor who in 2024 returned to New York from a 14-year sojourn to St. Petersburg, Florida, where he learned to brew and fell in love with the saison style.
testimony
tinear seasonal doesn’t include “brewery” in its name for a reason; while beer is the engine that drives us, our yield will also include other fermented products, cooking, agriculture and homestead improvement projects. We invite you to follow along via this website.
have a taste
tinear seasonal is not a commercial brewery, restaurant or shop. Our beers are not for sale. But we love to welcome others to savor our cellar. If you‘re interested in visiting our family home or meeting up for a sample, please reach out.
