Apiary | Blend N°2

Saison

Apiary | Blend N°2 was brewed in September of 2023 with a blend of pilsner, chitted barley and raw spelt. We utilize a traditional step-mashing process to accentuate an extra-dry and thirst-quenching drinking experience. We hop Apiary with both aged and fresh hops in the kettle to drive aromatics of fresh grapefruit, white pepper and pleasant floral notes. Apiary also receives a large addition of New Jersey harvested blueberry blossom honey, which drives additional floral aromatics, mouthfeel and acidity complexity. Apiary is fermented directly in oak with our Saison yeast along with our resident microflora. Just prior to bottling, we blended in a small portion of mature 4-year-old foudre-aged spontaneously fermented beer to bring depth and complexity to the blend. At bottling, Apiary has an average age of 10 months and has been conditioning since its bottling March 2024. Apiary Blend No2 pours a pale straw color with an effervescent, prickly carbonation, pungent aromatics of fresh noble hops featuring fresh lemon and herbal notes, blueberry blossom honey shows through in the clean waxy mouthfeel which is supported by a pleasant hoppy bitterness and lightly developing acidity​

Markt | Blend N°2

Saison

Markt | Blend N°2 was brewed in August of 2023 with a blend of pilsner, wheat malt and raw barley. We utilize a traditional step-mashing process to accentuate an extra-dry and thirst-quenching drinking experience. We hop Markt with both aged and fresh hops in the kettle to drive aromatics of fresh grapefruit, white pepper and pleasant floral notes. Markt also receives a large whirlpool hop addition of German noble hops in order to drive a pleasant citrusy herbal profile that develops complexity with our mixed yeast culture. Markt is fermented directly in oak with our saison yeast along with our resident microflora. Just prior to bottling, we blended in a small portion of mature 4-year-old foudre-aged spontaneously fermented beer to bring depth and complexity to the blend. At bottling, Markt has an average age of 12 months and has been conditioning since its bottling in March 2024. Markt Blend No2 pours a clear straw color with aromatics of lemon balm, fresh sliced green apples and grapefruit and flavors of orange citrus with a lightly spicy noble hop finish, well balanced with a light acidity and high levels of carbonation

Enchanted Grove

Spontaneous

Back in 2021 we got together with our friends from Primitive for a collaborative Spontaneous blend that would become Enchanted Grove. ​ ​ For this blend, we chose some mature spontaneously fermented beer across three brewing seasons, with the oldest component from the early spring of 2018. A portion of this blend was also aged in large cognac puncheons. After blending, we allowed this beer to continue to mellow for an additional two years. In the winter of 2023, we sourced New Jersey grown yuzu and sudachi citrus fruits which we zested and added directly to the blend before bottling. At the time of bottling, this blend had an average age of 58 months, making it our most mature spontaneously fermented blend to date. Enchanted Grove has been conditioning since its bottling in early 2024. Enchanted Grove pours a golden orange with aromatics of orange blossom and orange citrus with an underlying complexity of yeasty cellar funk. It offers flavors of lemon-lime soda, white wine raisins, lemon custard and apple blossoms with a well-integrated acid profile supported by high carbonation.​

Montmorency Cherry | 2021 Harvest

Spontaneous

Montmorency Cherry | 2021 Harvest blend was from four different batches over three brewing seasons. This three year blend was from traditional batches brewed in Fall of 2019 and Spring of 2020; a high gravity batch brewed in Spring of 2021 and a more heavily wheated batch brewed in the Spring of 2019. The blend was racked on Pennsylvania Montmorency tart cherries at a rate of 6lbs per gallon and allowed to referment in wine barrels. It was bottled with young spontaneous in April of 2022. It pours deep rosé with notes of freshly baked cherry pie, graham cracker crust, and baking spice.

Blackberry | 2020 Harvest

Spontaneous

In August 2020, we went to one of our favorite farms in Southern New Jersey to pick up that year’s harvest of locally grown blackberries to add to a carefully selected blend of our spontaneous beers. For this blend, we selected from barrels containing one and two year traditionally crafted spontaneous beer with a particularly low acidic profile to compliment the qualities of those specific berries. The blend soaked on the blackberries at a nearly 50% fruiting rate for two weeks before being transferred back to oak for six months of conditioning. After bottling, Blackberry | 2020 Harvest spent over two years conditioning to bring the fruit and base beer into perfect harmony. The average age of Blackberry | 2020 Harvest is nearly 45 months at release. Blackberry | 2020 Harvest pours a deep purple with burnt orange highlights and a purply white foam. Aromatics of fresh baked blackberry crumble and berry preserves with notes of vanilla and citrus are all reminiscent of these late summer berries.

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. ​

Black Currant | 2021 Harvest

Spontaneous

Black Currant | 2021 Harvest is a three-year blend of traditional spontaneous beers brewed in the Spring 2018, Spring 2020, and Spring 2021 brewing seasons. Our team picked up black currants from Phillips Farms in Milford, NJ and added them directly into barrels containing the three-year blend which had an average age of 17 months at the time of fruiting. After aging on the currants for an additional 6 months we bottled and laid the beer down for an additional 12 months of conditioning. Upon release, Black Currant ’21 Harvest will be 29 months old. This beer pours a very clear burnt red/crimson color with strong off-white foam and carries a unique citrusy and piney overall character better described as twiggy or woodsy with light citrus and funk. Black Currant has a good tannin fruit profile with a clean medium acidity presenting a nicely balanced and unique overall character.
