Collection: Field & Oak Bottles & Pours

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. Cherry & Strawberry | 2020 Harvest pours a beautiful deep red color with immediate aromatics of fresh strawberries and pie cherries. The top-note perfumy aromatics of strawberries are intermingled with the deeper baking spice, cinnamon and sweet pie notes.

Blackberry & Blueberry | 2020 Harvest

Spontaneous

For the first release of this fruiting combination, we chose a blend across four different batches brewed in the Spring and Fall seasons of 2019. Approximately 20% of this blend consisted of an experimental batch that we brewed in Spring of 2019 where we replaced the unmalted wheat portion of the grist with unmalted buckwheat. The remaining portion of the blend was traditionally brewed spontaneous beer, a portion of which was aged in a chestnut puncheon. We pulled the blend at an average age of 13 months for fruiting in the summer of 2020. We separately refermented the beer on New Jersey harvested blackberries and blueberries and then conditioned for an additional 10 months in oak. Blackberry & Blueberry | 2020 Harvest pours a burnt purple, pushing aromatics of blackberry ice cream and blueberry wine along with deep flavor notes of raspberry jam, red wine and bramble. It pours with spritely carbonation and drinks with a balanced wine-like malolactic acidity.

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.⁣

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.⁣

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. Grisaille pours a bright straw hue with a rocky white head pushing aromatics of vanilla, lemongrass and honeysuckle. Grisaille carries oak driven flavors of vanilla and coconut that play off the fruitier Brettanomyces derived pineapple and citrus flavors.

Dry Hopped Markt | Blend N°1

Saison

Dry Hopped Markt is a blend of hoppy saison brewed with pilsner and wheat. It was aged for a year in oak before being blended, dry hopped and bottled. It was dry hopped with Amarillo and Waimea hops at a rate of 3 lbs / BBL. The interplay of the dry hop and the mixed culture brings forward notes of key lime, grapefruit aromatics, a balancing acidity and oaky vanilla undertones.
