Cherry & Strawberry | 2020 Harvest

Spontaneous

In June 2020, we traveled down to our favorite New Jersey strawberry farmer to pick up some overripe and incredibly aromatic strawberries. For this blend, our team selected a blend of two casks with an average age of 13 months to showcase the bright strawberry aromatics. After hand crushing the strawberries, we opt for a short contact time to extract the aromatic juices of the strawberries. We then took a portion of this beer and racked it onto the 2020 harvest of New Jersey Montmorency cherries. The beer then conditioned on the whole cherries in oak casks for an additional 6 months prior to bottling. Cherry & Strawberry | 2020 harvest spent an additional 2 years in bottle to allow for additional flavor development. The total average age of Cherry & Strawberry | 2020 Harvest is over 3.5 years at release.

We cold macerate the freshly harvested flowers in our traditionally made spontaneously fermented beer for a single night to retain only the most elegant floral aromatics. The beer was then racked back to oak for further conditioning for an additional 6 months prior to bottling. After bottling, Elderflower | 2020 Harvest spent over two years conditioning and rounding out to perfection. The total average age of Elderflower | 2020 Harvest is nearly 4.5 years.

Raspberry | 2019 Harvest

Spontaneous

Raspberry | 2019 Harvest is a blend of two threads of spontaneously fermented beers brewed in the Fall of 2018, which were aged on New Jersey grown red raspberries. The dominant component of the blend was a nine-month-old spontaneous beer brewed to a higher gravity, leaving residual body to balance the acidity of the fruit. The beer conditioned on the raspberries in oak for five months prior to bottling. We then laid the blend down in bottle for an additional 15 months prior to release. Upon release, Raspberry | 2019 Harvest will be 28 months old. Raspberries generally are naturally one of the most acidic fruits we work with. We aim to balance the blend with a special higher gravity spontaneous beer recipe that follows a traditional process in all other aspects. The residual sweetness and body bring balance to the fruit, shifting the profile to raspberry jam while the intense stone fruit aromatics and minerality of our base beer can still be found. The raspberries provide a strong red color that carries through to the foam. The aroma is of bright raspberries and vanilla with an underlying fruity and earthy profile from our spontaneously fermented beer.
