Wooden Cleat (2024)

Barrel-Aged Barleywine

10.7% ABV

Wooden Cleat is a blend of high gravity Barleywines that underwent extensive aging in Buffalo Trace Weller bourbon barrels. This recipe used a generous amount of premium English heritage malt in the grist and underwent an intense double mash procedure followed by a 12 hour boil before being knocked out at a very high gravity and laid to rest in oak barrels for approximately 20 months. This beer was then racked out of oak and allowed to condition in stainless for another month prior to bottling. This year’s vintage of Wooden Cleat pours a very dark amber color with chestnut brown highlights and brings forward very rich multi-layered malt flavors and aromas complimented by notes of molasses, dried dark fruits, and an intense caramelized sugar profile.

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​

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

Strawberry | 2022 Harvest

Spontaneous

Strawberry | 2022 Harvest was blended across two brewing seasons of traditionally brewed spontaneously fermented beer, including a portion of 4-year-old beer. ​ ​ In early June of 2022, we traveled to South Jersey to pick up several hundreds of pounds of overripe strawberries. Our team hand-crushed the strawberries and added them directly to the blend in stainless for a short juice extraction at a rate of 8 lbs per gallon before refermentation in oak.​ ​ At bottling, this blend had an average age of 48 months and has been conditioning since its bottling in 2023. ​ ​ Strawberry | 2022 Harvest pours a burnt orange with aromatics of strawberry candy cereal and juicy strawberry gushers with flavors of strawberry lemonade and a balanced but complex acidity.

Shiro Plum | 2021 Harvest

Spontaneous

Shiro Plum | 2021 Harvest is a blend of traditionally brewed spontaneously fermented beers from two batches from the 2018 brewing season; one batch containing New Jersey blueberry blossom honey, and another aged in a chestnut puncheon. In August of 2021, our team picked up that year's New Jersey Shiro plum harvest. We added them whole, directly through the head of a barrel at a rate of over 8 lbs per gallon along with the blend for refermentation. At the time of bottling, this blend had an average age of 30 months and has been conditioning since its bottling in early 2022. Shiro Plum | 2021 Harvest pours bright yellow with orange highlights and a densely creamy foam with aromatics of plums and apricots. A firm but pleasant acidity supports the nuances of plum skins, pineapple upside-down cake and a touch of fermentation funk.

Blackberry & Blueberry | 2021 Harvest

Spontaneous

Blackberry & Blueberry | 2021 Harvest is a blend of traditionally brewed spontaneously fermented beers from a single brewing season: one batch containing New Jersey blueberry blossom honey, and another aged in a chestnut puncheon. In August of 2021, we picked up our harvest of New Jersey grown blackberries and added them directly to oak with the blend for refermentation. At the end of summer, we received that year's New Jersey blueberry harvest and added these directly to stainless. We racked the blackberry spontaneously fermented beer to cold soak on the skins and juices of the blueberries for a short period of time before racking back to oak for refermentation and conditioning. At bottling, this blend had an average age of 27 months and has been conditioning since its bottling in early 2022. Blackberry & Blueberry | 2021 Harvest pours a deep purple color with ruby highlights and a rocky pink foam. This beer pushes aromatics of jammy blueberries and overripe blackberries supported by a malolactic creaminess, making this reminiscent of a full-bodied California Cabernet Sauvignon.​

THIRD | Anniversary Blend

Spontaneous

THIRD was blended to commemorate our Third Anniversary. The components of this beer were brewed between our Fall 2018 and Spring 2020 brewing seasons. These batches included the addition of New Jersey Blueberry Blossom Honey to the coolship and were bottled with a small portion of young spontaneous beer for conditioning.​ THIRD had an average age of 27 months when it was then blended with a small portion of young spontaneous beer and bottled in February 2022. After a period of further bottle conditioning, THIRD is ready to enjoy. ​ THIRD pours with high carbonation and a tight foam head with a burnt orange honey color. It features a soft and balanced acidic profile with notes of citrus and honeysuckle, a light brettanomyces character and a crisp, dry finish. ​
