Grisaille | Blend Nº2

Saison

Grisaille | Blend N°2 is our interpretation of a Grisette, a refreshing, low-alcohol beer originally brewed in Belgium and enjoyed by coal miners after a long day of work. Grisaille | Blend N°2 is brewed with a blend of pilsner malt, chitted barley, malted wheat and malted oats from Rabbit Hill Malthouse. We hopped this beer with aged and fresh noble hops before fermenting it in oak with our favorite saison yeast and our local flora. After aging for several months in oak, we blended in a small portion of well-aged spontaneously fermented beer. The mingling of the saison and spontaneously fermented beer through the process of bottle conditioning provides a remarkably complex beer to drink fresh or continue aging. Grisaille | Blend N°2 pours a pale golden yellow and pushes notes of fresh hay, stone fruit, and bright lemon with a soft bitterness and lively carbonation to create a crisp and refreshing finish.

Strawberry | 2021 Harvest

Spontaneous

Strawberry | 2021 Harvest is a blend of three casks of traditionally brewed spontaneously fermented beer brewed across two seasons. In late May of 2021, we picked up nearly a ton of New Jersey grown strawberries. We picked the stems off the fruit; hand-crushed them and added it directly into tank for a week of contact time before racking back to oak for refermentation. After maturation, we bottled this beer in March 2022 to condition. Strawberry | 2021 Harvest pours a blush pink with aromatics of fresh strawberry preserves, stone fruit and full supporting minerality.​

FIFTH | Anniversary Blend

Spontaneous

FIFTH Anniversary Blend a blend of spontaneously fermented beer refermented on golden raspberries.​ FIFTH Anniversary Blend is a blend of two puncheons of traditional spontaneously fermented beer brewed across two seasons. ​ In October 2023, we received several hundred pounds of Golden Raspberries from Vermont, which were added directly to oak for refermentation. ​ After maturation, we bottled this beer in February 2024. At release, FIFTH has an average age of 58 months. ​ ​ FIFTH pours a hazy yellow with a lasting white foam, showcasing bright raspberry and orange blossom honey aromatics, along with a citrus and peach stone fruit character.​

Shiro Plum | 2020 Harvest

Spontaneous

In late July of 2020, we received a massive harvest of yellow New Jersey grown Shiro plums from one of our farm friends. ⁣ ⁣ We selected a single oak barrel of young spontaneous beer to blend at a 1:1 ratio for refermentation. ⁣ ⁣ After squishing the overripe fruit by hand, the beer was allowed to rest on the fruit and absorb the flavors of the plum juice, skins and pits. ⁣ ⁣ After refermentation the blend rested on the fruit for an additional 12 months prior to bottling. ⁣ ⁣ After bottle conditioning for an additional 16 months, Shiro Plum | 2020 Harvest has an average age of 37 months.⁣ ⁣ Shiro Plum | 2020 Harvest pours a hazy pale blonde with lively carbonation that drives a sturdy white foam. Aromatics of plum skin and a light salinity, a balancing honeysuckle vanilla with notes of rainier cherries.⁣

Blueberry | 2020 Harvest

Spontaneous

In July of 2020, we picked up a massive harvest of New Jersey blueberries from one of our favorite farms. Our team matched those berries with a blend across two years of spontaneously fermented beer, a portion of which was brewed with buckwheat in place of the traditional wheat usage. The beer was racked onto the blueberries and allowed to soak cold to extract all of their fresh berry flavors while limiting their tannic extraction. The beer was then racked off the fruit and back into oak for further conditioning for an additional 10 months. After bottling, Blueberry | 2020 Harvest spent two years conditioning in bottle to allow the fruit and blend to develop gracefully. The average age of Blueberry | 2020 Harvest is 49 months at release. Blueberry | 2020 Harvest pours a purplish pink with a pretty off-white foam. Aromatics of jammy blueberry pie, fresh citrus and peach with a structured mouthfeel and a balancing vinous character.

THIRD | Anniversary Blend

Spontaneous

THIRD was blended to commemorate our Third Anniversary. The components of this beer were brewed between our Fall 2018 and Spring 2020 brewing seasons. These batches included the addition of New Jersey Blueberry Blossom Honey to the coolship and were bottled with a small portion of young spontaneous beer for conditioning.​ THIRD had an average age of 27 months when it was then blended with a small portion of young spontaneous beer and bottled in February 2022. After a period of further bottle conditioning, THIRD is ready to enjoy. ​ THIRD pours with high carbonation and a tight foam head with a burnt orange honey color. It features a soft and balanced acidic profile with notes of citrus and honeysuckle, a light brettanomyces character and a crisp, dry finish. ​
