About this beer

6.9% ABV — Homage to the Old Ones is a very special blend of 4 year Spontaneous Fermentation barrels. Historically brewers would take the brewery’s highest quality barrels to make a blend that would showcase their best product. When scavenging our barrel cellars, the brewers came across barrels that were of such exemplary quality, they knew it would be a perfect homage to such blends. The use of only 4 year barrels highlights the depth and complexity that can be developed when time and attention is given. The result is a blend that has balance and poise in its acidity & texture, deep wine, leather, & tobacco flavours, and a complex range of fruit & floral aromatics.

Made via Spontaneous Fermentation, where wort was inoculated with airborne microorganisms

Fermented in wine barrels for 4 years.

This beer was bottled on March 28, 2023. It has been conditioning and cellaring since then.

The final step before packaging our beer is one of the most important: blending. While we occasionally have an amazing barrel that doesn’t need to be blended with others to be maximally delicious we’ve found that blending multiple barrels together gives us the ability to corral our unpredictable process and provide consistently balanced beers. Read on to learn about how we create the final version of our beers.

BOTTLE CONDITIONING

Bottles are conditioned and cellared to perfection.

Bottle conditioning creates one final fermentation where the beer is naturally carbonated in the bottle. In theory one could just force carb it and be done, but the outcome just isn’t as good. Bottle conditioned beers are more stable and better integrated. If you’re buying a special bottle why wouldn’t you want it to be the best it could be? Read on to learn more.
