In 2020, we received a beautiful harvest of New Jersey grown peaches and nectarines. We took our base blend with an average age of 15 months and refermented it on over 6.5 lbs per gallon of yellow peaches and 3 lbs per gallon of yellow and white nectarines before aging it in cask for an additional 5 months prior to packaging.

Apiary | Blend Nº1

Saison

Apiary was brewed with New Jersey grown and malted barley and buckwheat with the addition of New Jersey blueberry blossom honey. We used a traditional step mash to drive a crisp, dry profile, balanced by the bittering addition of aged whole leaf noble hops. Apiary presents with a honeycomb aroma balanced by a dry fermentation and high effervescence. The extended conditioning time pushes aromatics of hay and light funk, grapefruit, spice, toasted brioche and honey.

Grisaille | Blend Nº1

Saison

A mixed culture Grisette brewed with pilsner, wheat and oats, and hopped with whole leaf UK East Kent Goldings. We use a traditional step mash for dry, crisp profile balanced by the aged hops in an extended boil.

Barrel-Aged 365 Anniversary Ale

Belgian Dark Strong Ale

12.2% ABV

Barrel Aged 365 is the bourbon barrel aged version of our first anniversary ale, originally released in 2012 as a blend of dark Belgian-style ale and barrel aged ales. Every year we reserve a portion of our anniversary ale to age in bourbon barrels and ultimately blend into the next year's vintage. We carefully taste different proportions of the component ales to arrive at the final blend, and take what's left and bottle it individually as a very limited release. The complexity of the original blend is further enhanced by extended barrel aging. Stored properly, Barrel Aged 365 should age well. Enjoy now or in the future.

Wooden Cleat, Amburana

Double Barrel-Aged Barleywine

Double Barrel Amburana Wooden Cleat is our 12.9% Double Barrel-Aged Barleywine. It began as a single cask of barleywine that was aged for over 13 months in a single 13-year-Old Forester bourbon cask. From there it was racked into a single Amburana wood cask to finish. ⁣ ⁣ Double Barrel Amburana Wooden Cleat presents aromatics of dark fruit, figs, rich spicy rum raisin and drinks with notes of cake frosting, cinnamon, maple, chocolate covered cherries and rich bourbon.

Tenth

Stout

12.0% ABV

TENTH is a blend of barrel aged beers to celebrate our first ten years of brewing. To commemorate this milestone, we pulled samples from various barrel-aged beers we had in stock to create a special blend for our tenth anniversary.

Strawberry | 2019 Harvest

Spontaneous

Strawberry | 2019 Harvest came from a single cask of traditional spontaneous beer brewed in the Fall of 2018. At eight months, the beer was racked onto hand-crushed New Jersey grown overripe strawberries. The beer rested on both the strawberries and their stems for a week, before being racked back to oak to condition for an additional five months before blending. We then laid the beer down in bottle for an additional 18 months. Upon release, Strawberry | 2019 Harvest was 31 months old. Strawberry | 2019 Harvest pours with a brilliant rose color and bright aromatics of strawberries and a floral character that jump out of the glass. The fruit is again present in the flavor and provides a complexity in acid profile with notes of lemongrass and underlying funk and citrus from our spontaneous beer.

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.

Merlot | 2020 Harvest

Spontaneous

During the 2020 harvest, we had the chance to receive New Jersey grown Merlot grapes from our friends at Bellview Winery. The grapes were allowed to undergo carbonic maceration before having a single barrel of mature spontaneously fermented beer racked on the grapes. For the base beer, we chose a barrel from the Spring of 2019 that used a special recipe consisting of New Jersey malted barley and unmalted buckwheat from Rabbit Hill. The beer was allowed to referment on the grapes with 20 days of skin contact before being racked back to oak for extended aging and conditioning for an additional 10 months to mellow. We bottled this blend in August of 2021 and have conditioned it for 15 months prior to release. Merlot | 2020 Harvest will have 46 months of age upon release. Merlot | 2020 Harvest pours a deep maroon with beautiful clarity and a burgundy foam that lasts. The beer presents aromatics of blackberry jam, fresh pressed black cherry juice and pleasant cellar floor with flavors of juicy red fruit, light white pepper all supported by pleasing tannins and well-integrated acidity.

One: Sangiovese Foudre

Spontaneous

One: Sangiovese Foudre comes from a single foudre with a past life aging Sangiovese wine. This batch boasted an exceptionally balanced profile out of the foudre, making it perfect for an unblended release. The 2019 spontaneous batch from which this beer comes was aged for 17 months in oak. We allowed the initial blend of One bottles to undergo a conditioning period of 9 months. One: Sangiovese Foudre unfolds with a prominent mineral character, featuring aromatics of lemon sherbet and apricots, complemented by a refreshingly balanced acidity. Notes of ruby red grapefruit, peaches and a hint of red wine are brought together by a supporting malt profile.⁣

Mexican Chocolate (2023)

Imperial Milk Porter

9.2% ABV

Mexican Chocolate, our decadent 9.2% Imperial Milk Porter inspired by the authentic Mexican Hot Chocolate, has finally returned. This beer is conditioned on single origin cacao nibs from the Philippines and Ghana, vanilla beans sourced from the Vera Cruz region of Mexico, and both dried ancho chiles and dried guajillo peppers. Mexican Chocolate pours with a dark cocoa-colored appearance and has a complex and robust aromatic and flavor profile combining notes of heady milk chocolate frosting and mousse with subtle heat and spice on top of a very soft and full mouthfeel and balanced overall profile reminiscent of the namesake.

Single Cask Barrel One (2022)

Imperial Milk Porter

12.8% ABV

The first in a new series of small batch, single barrel, barrel-aged beers inspired by our Stacking Casks series.⁣ ⁣ This first release in our Single Cask series is a 12.8% Imperial Milk Porter brewed with maple syrup and aged in a Texas Sotol Cask. ⁣ ⁣ Sotol is a distilled spirit of Mexican origin. Compared to Tequila or Mezcal, it tends to be sweeter and is known for its bright, earthy and mild smoky flavors. The Sotol cask gives this maple porter a bold and slightly sweet finish.⁣

Scotch Double Barrel-Aged Picture in Reverse (2022)

Scotch Double Barrel Aged Old Ale

16.1% ABV

2022 Scotch Double Barrel-Aged Picture In Reverse is our 16.1% blend of barleywines aged for 27 months in Willett Bourbon barrels that we picked up directly from the distillery in Kentucky. We selected a few of our best barrels and double barrel aged it in non-peated Scotch Whiskey casks.

Cherry | 2019 Harvest

Spontaneous

Cherry | 2019 Harvest was blended from two different barrels of traditional batches from Fall 2018. We racked the blend into barrels filled with whole, handpicked New Jersey Montmorency cherries. The beer aged on the cherries and their pits for a total of 9 months before being blended. We then laid the beer down in bottle for an additional 13 months. It has an aroma of warm cherry pie, almondy noyaux, baking spices and cinnamon all balanced by a low fruity Brettanomyces character. The acidity is balanced by the tannin from long skin contact and a residual sweetness.

Rhubarb | 2020 Harvest

Spontaneous

Rhubarb | 2020 Harvest came from a single oak barrel of beer brewed with our aging recipe. For this recipe, which we always brew in the Spring, we increase the raw wheat proportion to 50% of the total grain along with a slight increase in the aged leaf hopping rate. The result tends to be a bit more aggressively flavorful in its youth but mellows elegantly with time. For Rhubarb | 2020 Harvest, we pulled this barrel at 15 months and racked it to age on over 4 lbs per gallon of freshly harvested and split rhubarb stalks in oak for an additional 8 months. Finally, to elevate the nuance of both the base beer and the harvest, we conditioned this beer for an additional 15 months in bottle prior to release. It pours a golden hue and pushes aromatics of sweet vanilla, pie crust, grapefruit and tangerine and drinks with a balanced acidity reminiscent of apricots, strawberries, and lively carbonation.

First | Anniversary Blend

Spontaneous

FIRST is a particularly special single barrel that our team highlighted as having both exceptional fermentation and barrel qualities that will age for years to come. ⁣ ⁣ This beer comes from the last batch of the 19|20 brewing season. This recipe pushes the level of unmalted wheat to 50% coupled with a higher hopping rate and longer boil.⁣ ⁣ FIRST spontaneously fermented and aged for two seasons exclusively in a single Calvados pipe that was previously used for many decades to age French apple brandy.⁣ ⁣ We packaged this beer without the use of a simple sugars but instead conditioned it exclusively with a small addition of young spontaneously fermenting beer. ⁣ ⁣ We believe that these painstaking processes will lend an incredible ageability to this beer, allowing it to develop gracefully for many anniversaries to come.⁣ ⁣ FIRST pours with champagne-like carbonation and well-integrated CO2 that builds a beautiful foam. Aromatics of spicy apple pie, a sherry-like nuttiness, an exceptional minerality couple with a citrus profile.
