COLORADO – Rocky Ford is stepping into the business of flavored beer and you can get a taste of it here in Colorado Springs.
Rocky Ford’s Hirakata Farms grows a special row of Crenshaw melons just for the Banded Oak’s Hirakata Farms Crenshaw Melon IPA.
The Crenshaw is a cross between cantaloupe and casaba melons. Rocky Ford is known around the state for having cantaloupe, watermelon and honeydew fields. Hirakata Farms teamed up with Denver’s Banded Oak brewery to create the Colorado beer.
