"Brussels Beer City turns five, and celebrates with a small festival with some friends: BierCult. It has teamed up with five Brussels breweries and five people from Brussels’ beer community to brew five different collaboration beers. Nanobrasserie L’Ermitage x Colleen Rakowski: Brotherly Love. A blond beer made with barley spelt and rye, and fermented with the ‘Philly Sour’ yeast strain in stainless steel, then aged for a year in separate Pinot Noir barrels from Burgundy, one of which also still contained wine lees."

"Blend of 50% fresh farmhouse and 50% spontaneous beer 18 moth barrel aged. All ingredients are Italians. Little bit of rye malt. Cascade and crystal hops from Italian Hops Company. Finished with some Garganega grape must. Happy 10 years birthday La Tana a Bruxelles !!! "

"Il y a dans chaque région de France des pionniers de la bière artisanale qui ont offert les premières rencontres émues avec ces nouveaux types de bières à nombre de futurs brasseurs. Outland et la Brasserie des Garrigues sont des références personnelles du genre. C'est donc avec fierté que nous avons réalisé ensemble cette bière acide, fermentée sur un levain issu d'une bière d'Outland (saison et lies de chenin) puis élevée 14 mois dans deux barriques précedement utilisées par Les Garriques."

"This beer matures for 12 months in oak barrels with the indigenous yeasts and bacteria from our vineyards. At the end of maturation, we add fresh elderflowers and a selection of white grapes we grow on Berici Hills. Unfiltered, bottle conditioned. Beer in evolution."

"Black lager with pomegranate pomace, 10 month of barrel aging in ex-wine casks, and maceration on Carignan (red grapes) pomace"

"Aoltbeer is the historic beer of Münster. The beers in this blend matured on average for 19 months in red wine barrels. In this time the beer developed its fruity and wine-like character. Blend no. 09-2021 is mature, jammy and with vineous stronefruit notes."

"We left this Barley Wine to age for 2 years in barrels with our wild culture. It slowly developed its acidity and complexity in addition to a pleasant oxidative and maderized note. Almost Port-like "

"Assemblage de barriques issues de fermentation mixte. Nous avons fait infuser des branches de sapin blanc (Abies alba) et du genèvrier (Juniperus communis) de la forêt du domaine de Vaumorin. "

"Produced in respect of Belgian ancient tradition, this beer is our 100% spontaneous fermentation in coolship, aged 24 months in oak barrels."

BA Wild ale infused with elderflowers

"Bière issue de l'assemblage de 2 barriques de vin rouge, de 2 et 3 ans, en fermentation spontanée et en fermentation mixte. Des mirabelles de Nancy ont été ajoutées pour une macération de 6 mois avant l'embouteillage. "

"1 year old Spontaneous Fermentation beer aged on Irish Rhubarb grown by Ryans Farm in County Dublin."

Barrel aged red sour ale.

Wild/ Sour dark ale aged in oak barrels

"Grondslag is a bière de coupage composed of our oldest and best barrels. It is created to let you experience the natural flavours of barrel-aged beers, without additions and without carbonation. This really brings out the texture of the beer. Grondslag is a beer close to our core; a beer that shows the power of blending and the purity of aging." best before is 07/10/2023

Blend of BA Golden Sour ales

"Wild dark beer aged on pino sherry barrels. A festive and luxurious beer with sour and sherry like flavours. Made to enjoy during the holidays and to share. Jubel has aged for 18 months on wooden barrels."

"Spon - 2 Year Blend : This is a blend of 1 - 2 year old spontaneously fermented beer. Inspired by the Lambic tradition - brewed with a turbid mash, long boil, aged hops - then cooled overnight in our coolship where it was naturally inoculated with native wild yeast - bacteria. Following the overnight cooling, this inoculated liquid was filled into rinsed - steamed neutral oak wine barrels where the beauty of spontaneous fermentation evolved over the months - years. The beer in your glass is a true wild ale. Absolute terroir. We hope you enjoy it."

"Silénos combines nobility and wild freshness. This robust stock ale has been aged in a Spanish red wine oak barrel for over a year with the help of wild yeasts. The interplay of these forces has fine-tuned the beer's distinctive notes of dried stone fruit, colourful sweet wood facets, barrel tannins and subtle hop bitterness into a heady interplay of aromas and flavours.Should you feel that it reminds you of something, it will certainly not be in vain to search your memory of enjoying a fine Spanish fortified wine."

"Hypsikerós is an exuberant and fresh stock ale that has been aged in an oak cask of Burgundy natural red wine for over a year with the help of wild yeasts. The result is a characterful 'barley wine' with a tight, warm, winding profile punctuated by distinct notes of dried stone fruit, wood and hop tannins and a subtle bitterness. The resemblance to wine here is rather indirect: Hypsikerós is partly similar in charater to Flanders red ales, which are known by local connoisseurs as the 'Burgundy of the North'."

"Barrel-aged wild blond beer with elderflower. Once a year we brew a special blend for Dauw. After initial fermentation, when sugars are still present, we infuse the beer for one day with freshly picked elderflower. This results in an overwhelmingly aromatic beer, which becomes more rounded after long barrel aging. By mixing 3 years of vintages, we bring a lot of complexity to the beer. The young barrels add bitterness and floral scents, whereas the older barrels add ripeness and soften the character. Dew is a nice sour beer with rich elderflower, green pepper and citrus. In its aftertaste you can find the soft bitterness and the long lasting tones of spring blossom aromas."

Sour version of "Cuvée de Mortagne" (Quadrupel) aged in White Port barrels. Very low carbonation - The barrel experience.

Season 2022-2023. Bottled on 21/03/2023. "The foundation and our essence: lambik as it should be; pure, spontaneous and complex. For six years, three consecutive brews from March 2017 fermented and matured in the same oak barrel. This fine lambik was bottled in a dark brown bottle and finished with the most excellent cork. For even longer cellar ageing."

"Brassin refroidi en coolship lors d'une nuit de novembre 2019. L'assemblage est constitué à 20% de bière spontanée et de fermentation mixte d'une sélection de levures. Trois ans d'élevage en barrique de Chablis, sémillon et vin rouge sont ensuite venus la sublimer."

"Glass is our series of beers characterised by a delicate minerally flavour, fresh kettle-hop aroma, and the addition of sea salt in the blending tank. This is our third iteration. In February, April and August 2020 we produced extra pale, minerally worts, with fresh East Kent Goldings hops. The fresh hops add wonderful aromatics (quite distinct from dry hop character) as well as acting to restrain the acidity produced in the wild fermentation. We made a blend from the four most delicate tasting barrels and added a touch of Cornish sea salt into the blending tank to give a crisp finish."

"Barrel aged golden sour ale, with local elderflowers."

"English hopped beer made from a blend of solely three year old brews, produced in January and April 2020. The beers were made from turbid mashes using pilsner, wheat and rye malts. The resulting wort was boiled with aged hops, before spontaneous fermentation in old white Burgundy barrels. The blend focused on building a perfect base for an addition of wonderfully complex, but relatively subtle English-grown hops. We aimed for a balance of spicy and fruity aromatics, with nothing too characterful to obscure the incoming dry-hop, underpinned by a moderate acidity with just enough volatile acid to give it some life. The blend was dry-hopped with undried "Low Carbon" hops from Brook House Farm, up the road in Herefordshire."

"This is a new blend, created to capture the remarkably light and fresh citrusy character we find in some of our older barrels. It was made from a blend of pale beers, consisting of 2 barrels of 4 year old beer, and 2 barrels of 3 year old beer. The barrels making up the blend were selected for their combination of bright citrus acidity and balancing deep funk, to produce a complex yet elegant summery beer. The finished blend was dry-hopped with fresh whole-leaf Czech Saaz hops, for their wonderful noble aromatics, along with a touch of US Citra to highten the lemon/grapefruit notes of the fermentation. Bottled straight from the dry-hop tank to capture as much of the hop as possible, the finished beer then conditioned in bottle for 5 months."

"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...

"Draw Together is made from a blend of diverse beer styles from our aged barrel stock. This edition is a blend of two distinct barrel fermented beers: California chardonnay barrel-fermented strong golden ale, brewed in April 2020. Remarkably clean tasting from the barrel. Minimal funk and fairly low acididty. Fairly boozy on the nose, with hints of apricot and creamy American oak. Lots of interesting aromatics and satisfyingly rich, but a tad flabby on the palate. Bordeaux barrel fermented red rye beer, brewed in May 2022. Lots of sweet red fruit and a dry cocoa finish. A touch more acid than the golden ale, but still quite restrained. Fairly high barrel tannin, that when comined with the drying character from the roasted malts makes this barrel alone feel rather thin. Again, lots of interesting aromatics but not a complete drink on its own. The finished beer was primed with a good dose of sugar to produce lively carbonation, to give this fairly weighty beer an extra lift."
