Shiro Plum | 2020 Harvest

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. Aromatics of plum skin and a light salinity, a balancing honeysuckle vanilla with notes of rainier cherries.⁣
