Blueberry | 2022 Harvest

Blueberry | 2022 Harvest is a blend across two brewing seasons including a portion aged in cognac casks and a portion brewed with New Jersey blueberry blossom honey. ​ In August of 2022, we picked up the year's blueberry harvest which was hand crushed and cold-soaked on the blend for juice extraction and brief skin contact at a rate of 8 lbs. per gallon. The fruited blend was then racked to oak for additional conditioning. At the time of bottling, this blend had an average age of 43 months and has been conditioning since its bottling in late 2023. Blueberry | 2022 Harvest pours a deep purple color with a creamy pink foam, aromatics of creamy blueberry pie and citrus. The beer presents a very restrained acidity with complexity from the blueberry skins and the fruit juices supported by a strong vanilla note.
