    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.⁣

    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 will be 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.
