Sold outCherry | 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.

Sold outRaspberry | 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.

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.

Second | Anniversary Blend
Spontaneous
Our Second Anniversary release is something we have been building towards since we started Field & Oak in early 2018. From the beginning, Field & Oak has drawn its inspiration from traditional Lambic brewing and blending techniques. For our Second Anniversary release we took inspiration from traditional Gueuze production. Our Second Anniversary is a blend of one, two and three year spontaneous beers and our first release of a three year blend. During the Summer of 2021, we tasted through our barrel cellar to select the best barrels from each of the past three seasons. Second pours a burnt orange color with a rocky white head and beautifully effervescent carbonation. Aromatics of grapefruit zest, bright lemon and citrus are supported by an underlying floral profile with well-integrated wood tannins that highlight a slightly acidic finish.

At two months into fermentation, we blended in 20% of spontaneous beer from two separate year-old traditional batches and further conditioned the blend in oak before blending.

Two: Honey
Spontaneous
Two, inspired by Belgian Lambic blending tradition, is our first blend to incorporate multiple years of our spontaneous program in one bottle. Considered a two year blend because the oldest component is over 24 months, Two is comprised of three different barrels from the 2018 and 2019 spontaneous seasons. At the time of bottling the average age of the blend was 20 months. The oldest component of Two was 26 months at the time of blending. This barrel was pulled from the first traditional batch we brewed in Spring 2018. Upon blending, the barrel brought a rounded, delicate profile with aged cellar aromatics from its extended aging that provides a base for the younger components to layer in fruitier top notes. The second component of the blend was 19 months at the time of bottling, the fourth batch of Fall 2018. This spontaneous beer was brewed with the addition of New Jersey harvested blueberry blossom honey. It brings floral and lemony citrus highlights. The final component was 16 months at the time of bottling, pulled from our fourth batch of Spring 2019. In this recipe, we increase the raw wheat percentage to 50%, with the remainder being malted barley. We also raised the hopping rate to increase the aging potential of the blend, lending a refreshing grapefruit pith flavor. The first blend of Two has aromas of apricot, peach and grapefruit along with Brettanomyces derived cellar character and a citrus flavor from our aged hops. It presents a depth in acid profile balanced by cream and caramel flavors from our all NJ grains and brewing process. At the time of release, the beer in the bottle had an average age of 30 months and should age well for years to come.
