"For this beer, we were inspired by the world of whiskey, where it is customary to finish aged whiskeys in barrels with a specific taste. In this way, complexity is added to the final product. In this series we finish Oud Bruin , which has matured for at least a year in oak wine barrels, in wooden barrels of a different type of wood, sometimes the barrels are fresh, sometimes with another drink. This time: Bocoy barrels. 700L barrels of chestnut wood in which Spanish wine from the Jerez region has matured. The barrels add aromas of nuts, tobacco, spices and balsamic."

"This beer is created by adding green walnuts to beer that was aged on wooden barrels for at least one year. We picked the nuts in july last year in the garden of a friend. They were harvested when they were still greeen before the wooden shell started to appear. The young fruit gives a herbal, nutty aroma to the beer. The subtle bitterness balances the fresh sourness of the Oud Bruin. Go nuts and try this interesting infusion."

"The Bright Side beers are two friend’s attempt to view the world with a glass half-full. When Bryan Martin (Ravensworth Wines) realised his vines were smoke tainted from the 2020 bushfires, he concocted a plan ‘B’ with Topher Boehm (Wildflower Brewing & Blending). These beers are the marriage of Bryan’s hand harvested, carbonic macerated, whole bunch wine grapes with Topher’s freshly fermented Gold Australian Wild Ale. Aged and macerated for eight months in Murrumbateman before travelling to the big smoke for bottling and maturation."

"A 50/50 blend of barrel aged Gold with fresh Gold that has just completed primary fermentation. This composition of aged and fresh beer is what we had originally intended for our Gold. It didn't end up like that though, as Gold is 100% barrel aged. We love the fresh fermentation esters and bright hop character we get in our young fermentations. This is what we focus on in beers like The International & As It Were (coming in November). But we can't hide that we also love the apparent funk, creamy mouthfeel and complex fermentation flavours of aged beer. We dont think of this blend as being a best of both worlds, but more an attempt (and this is only the first one) to marry these flavours harmoniously. One of the beers that really got me thinking about making mixed culture beers a...

"St Henry is an Australian Wild Ale made with apricots. It is named for Chris and Emily’s second son. Saint Henry II was a Holy Roman Emperor during the 11th century. In 2021, St Henry was made by blending barrel aged golden mixed culture fermentation ale with 1060kg of fresh, whole, tree ripened Robada apricots from Yarralee Orchard in Kelso, NSW."

"Wattle Drops 2020 is a golden Australian Wild Ale fermented wholly by wild yeast and bacteria residing on freshly picked Wattle blossoms from ‘Carawatha’ in Gerringong, NSW."

"Built from a blend of 2.5-year-old beers 100% spontaneously fermented with native yeast & bacteria, and refermented on Frog Hollow Farm organic O'Henry peaches, Lasting Melody presents a rich experience to the senses. Notes of ripe, juicy peach with freshly baked cobbler intertwine with delicate oak and funk, clasped with a restrained acidity. From us to you, we present Lasting Melody."

"Timshel reflects our pursuit of flavors endemic to Monterey County & the Salinas Valley. Each winter we brew a select few batches of spontaneously fermented beer following the Méthode Traditionnelle guidelines combining malted barley, raw wheat, and aged hops to produce a rustic wort. This wort is naturally chilled overnight in our coolship and spontaneously fermented in oak barrels by native microflora. Timshel combines our favorite casks spanning the course three different vintages, blended together, refermented on local raspberries, and naturally refermented in bottle. From us to you, we present Timshel: Raspberry."

"Vinisimilar(vin-ih-sim-ih-ler) adj. 1 Having the appearance of wine, but not necessarily so 2 Faithful to its own rules, neither wine nor beer. Residing somewhere between beer and wine, we've blurred the line combining a blend of barrel-aged saisons with Charbono grapes from Castoro Cellars. After a four month maceration on the fruit, bold notes of jammy blueberry pie, plum preserves, and late harvest grape intertwine with cardamom, vanilla, and fig. From us to you, we present Vinisimilar: Charbono."

Residing somewhere between beer and wine, we've blurred the line combining a blend of barrel-aged saisons with whole cluster Pinot Noir grapes.
