Sold outRed Currant | 2020 Harvest
Spontaneous
In July of 2020, our team made the trip to northern New Jersey to select some beautiful Red Currants. These red currants had a uniquely citric, bright and tannic profile that brings a unique balance to our blends of spontaneously fermented beers. For this harvest, our team chose a blend of one- and two-year old traditionally brewed spontaneous beers. We added the red currants directly to the oak barrels and aged the beer on the ribes for an additional year before packaging. After bottling, Red Currant | 2020 Harvest spent an additional 22 months conditioning in bottle. The average age of Red Currant | 2020 Harvest is 48 months at release. Red Currant | 2020 Harvest pours a bright orange color with a dense white foam and aromatics of orange citrus, and cranberries.

Rhubarb & Grüner Veltliner | 2020 Harvest
Spontaneous
When we received our first pressing of New Jersey Grown and harvested Grüner Veltliner, we set aside a portion of the blend to then referment and age on freshly harvested rhubarb. For the base of this blend, our team utilized a blend of a 2-year-old buckwheat spontaneous beer along with a small portion of young spontaneous beer. The blend refermented for an additional eight months through the winter of 20|21 before receiving freshly harvest rhubarb from a century old rhubarb patch. The beer was allowed to soak on the rhubarb for an additional five months prior to packaging. The average age of Rhubarb & Grüner Veltliner | 2020 Harvest is 37 months at release. Rhubarb & Grüner Veltliner | 2020 Harvest pours a deep golden color with a firm white foam. Aromatics of strawberry rhubarb pie along with fresh cut green apples and honey.

Sold outRhubarb | 2020 Harvest
Spontaneous
Rhubarb | 2020 Harvest came from a single oak barrel of beer brewed with our aging recipe. For this recipe, which we always brew in the Spring, we increase the raw wheat proportion to 50% of the total grain along with a slight increase in the aged leaf hopping rate. The result tends to be a bit more aggressively flavorful in its youth but mellows elegantly with time. For Rhubarb | 2020 Harvest, we pulled this barrel at 15 months and racked it to age on over 4 lbs per gallon of freshly harvested and split rhubarb stalks in oak for an additional 8 months. Finally, to elevate the nuance of both the base beer and the harvest, we conditioned this beer for an additional 15 months in bottle prior to release. It pours a golden hue and pushes aromatics of sweet vanilla, pie crust, grapefruit and tangerine and drinks with a balanced acidity reminiscent of apricots, strawberries, and lively carbonation.

Sold outShiro 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.

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.

This blend came from a single barrel from our first spontaneous brew of Fall, 2018 that was racked onto Vermont grown Anne Golden Raspberries at 11 months old.

The fruit brings gold highlights with strong aromatics of fresh raspberries and light vanilla that layer over the apricot and citrus notes of the blend. The acid profile is bright but balanced as with all our blends.

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.

TWO
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.

Bière de Noël | Winter 2024
Spontaneous
Bière de Nöel | Winter 2024, a Two-Year Spontaneous Blend, is available in 500mL bottles starting tomorrow. This festive beer began in 2020 as a single batch of traditional spontaneously fermented beer containing New Jersey blueberry blossom honey. A majority of this beer was racked to one of our Sangiovese wine foudres for 27 months, selected for its well-rounded and refreshing profile. Prior to bottling in March 2022, we selected a young spontaneously fermented beer that still contained a portion of fermentable sugar and blended it with the two-year-old spontaneous beer. The carbonation for this beer is entirely derived from the sugars present in the young beer. Bière de Nöel | Winter 2024 pours gold with aromatics of ripe peaches, fruit cups and a touch of honey supported by a bright but balanced acidity and a high minerality.

Bière de Noël | Winter 2021 was brewed over two batches in the 18|19 season as an homage to some of our favorite specialty winter beers from the West Flanders region of Belgium.
