Spon Two Year Blend

This 6.5% two year blend of spontaneously fermented ales from the winters of 2019/2020 was mashed in the turbid method with NC and TX pilsner malt and raw wheat until the milk runneth clear. Boiled extensively for maximum color achievement with aged whole leaf hops for proper bitterness. After the boil, this wort was transferred to our coolship, sitting open on our farm, on a cold winter's evening. The wort was left there to cool overnight and in the morning, was transferred into a square tank for primary fermentation. With nothing other than the natural airborne yeasties and bacteria which inoculated the wort, this is the true magic of spontaneous brewing. After primary fermentation, this beer was then transferred into neutral oak barrels for extensive slumbering.

Upon packaging, this blend consisted of 50% 2019 and 50% 2020 and then from there, conditioned naturally in the bottle and keg for 8 months.

Bursting with an expressive earthy funkiness and boasting notes of grapefruit marm, pickled apples, dried oak leaves and under ripe pineapple. We cannot wait to share this experience with you.
