While brewing beer's a sideline for engineer Jake Cirell, it's a tangent which he's kept close for decades since his college days. His From the Ground Brewery, located on the noted Migliorelli family's farms, is a weekend attraction for locals and the occasional visitor to the mid-Hudson Valley. What makes FrG special is Jake's adherence to VERY locally sourced barley--courtesy of the Migliorellis--and hops grown in Rhinebeck. t He shared with David and producer Jenn a few of his crafty creations 'From the Ground' into our glasses in-studio for DotE.
