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

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 2023
Spontaneous
Bière de Nöel | Winter 2023 is a special three-year Congac-aged Spontaneous Blend. The oldest component of this special blend was from a wheat-heavy batch brewed during our Spring 2018 season that was fermented in a 600L Pineau des Charentes cask. The two-year component was from a traditional mash brew during the Spring of 2020 that was fermented in a 600L Cognac cask, while the youngest of the three was brewed with New Jersey Blueberry Blossom Honey during our Fall of 2020 brew season and fermented in a 450L Pineau des Charentes cask. The blend of these three spontaneous beers, using all New Jersey grown malts and some honey, was laid to rest in a Cognac cask for seven months prior to bottling. In March 2022, we blended back a small portion of young spontaneous beer and bottled. Bière de Nöel had an average age of 23 months at bottling. This blend pours with a highly carbonated mousse-like foam head with a burnt golden orange color.

Sold outChambourcin | 2020 Harvest
Spontaneous
In October 2020, our team visited Bellview Winery to pick up a half a ton of New Jersey grown Chambourcin as they were coming off the crusher destemmer. We immediately transferred a single chestnut puncheon of young 8-month-old traditional spontaneous beer onto the crushed grapes for refermentation on the skins at a 49% fruiting rate. We allowed the beer extended contact with the grape skins before racking it back to oak to condition for an additional 10 months. Finally, we laid the beer down in bottles for an additional 5 months of conditioning. Upon release, Chambourcin will be 23 months old. Chambourcin pours a royal purple while overflowing with aromatics of strawberry, raspberry, wet stone and beautifully delicate funk. It drinks with a creamy mouthfeel with lightly balanced acidity and fruit, akin to a Beaujolais.
