Elderflower | 2021 Harvest
Spontaneous
Elderflower | 2021 Harvest is a blend of traditionally brewed spontaneously fermented beers across three brewing seasons, including a portion from a recipe using a higher hopping rate. In late May of 2021, our team harvested European elderflower from a local New Jersey farm, then let the elderflower soak cold in the beer for a single night before being racked back to oak for extended conditioning. At the time of bottling, this blend had an average age of 33 months and has been conditioning since its bottling in early 2022. Elderflower | 2021 Harvest pours a vibrant yellow with a rocky white foam. It pushes vibrant floral aromatics and notes of sweet lychee and apricots. The acidity is light and elevates a clean lemon tart flavor profile.

FOURTH | Anniversary Blend
Spontaneous
FOURTH is our very first four-year spontaneous blend brewed between our Spring 2018 and Spring 2021 brewing seasons. Each of these batches was brewed following a traditional spontaneous brewing process using a turbid mash with a grist consisting entirely of New Jersey-grown malt. Each blend underwent an extended boil with aged hops, then was transferred to our coolship where it cooled overnight, exposed to the open air and resident microflora. Our team highlighted the individual casks to produce this blend, selected for their highly aromatic profiles coupled with a vibrancy that contrasts their age. FOURTH had an average age of 25 months before it was blended with a small portion of young spontaneous beer and bottled in March 2022. After a period of extended bottle conditioning, FOURTH is ready to enjoy. FOURTH pours a pale-yellow color with a creamy white foam, boasting aromatics of lemon meringue pie, toasted oak and orange citrus zest. FOURTH finishes with a rounded mouthfeel and notes of fruit parfait, lemon custard and a heavy minerality.

Yellow Peach | 2021 Harvest
Spontaneous
Yellow Peach | 2021 Harvest is a complex blend pulling from high gravity, honey and traditionally brewed spontaneously fermented beers across three brewing seasons. In July 2021, our team picked up the year's yellow peach harvest and, at the peak of ripeness, hand-crushed the fruit and added it directly to the oak for extended refermentation at a rate of nearly 8 lbs per gallon. The blend was then racked on top of the fruit and allowed to referment with full contact of the peaches as well as their skins and pits for added complexity in the final beer. At the time of bottling, this blend had an average age of 26 months and has been conditioning since its bottling in early 2022. Peach | 2021 Harvest pours a peachy yellow color with a creamy white foam with aromatics of peach cobbler and plush mouthfeel all supported by a light acidity and high minerality.

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
