Barrel 437

Barrel 437 is a single barrel Spontaneous Grape Ale and a collaboration with Still Fields — a brewery started by Owen, our friend and former colleague. After a night in the coolship, the wort was added to freshly pressed Cab Franc skins, combining the wild yeast from these two sources. This hybrid elixir was fermented and aged in a single neutral French oak puncheon. The resulting beer is a happy (and delicious) meeting point of spontaneous beer and natural wine.  Notes of grapefruit rind, green pepper, and strawberry jam, with assertive acidity.

Note: this beverage is highly carbonated! Refrigerate well and do not agitate prior to opening.
