QUICK TURN MIXED FERMENTATION on DRAFT
  • The Mimic
    100ml $2 | 200ml $4 | 300ml $6
    3.3% — 4 month Quick Turn Mixed Fermentation
    The Mimic is fermented in stainless steel tanks for 4 months. Our use of the traditional turbid mashing process lends it full texture and flavour, while having a very low alcohol content. It is fermented with a special blend of Saccharomyces, Brettanomyces, Lactobacillus, and Pediococcus. This unique blend of organisms gives bright citrus and tropical fruit flavours and aromas, balanced by a round texture and medium acidity.
  • Ferry of the Damned
    100ml $3 | 200ml $6 | 300ml $9
    4.3% — 6 Month Quick Turn Mixed Fermentation — Riesling Pomace
    Ferry of the Damned is a Quick Turn mixed fermentation beer fermented in stainless steel tanks for 4 months. It was then re-fermented on Riesling Grape Pomace with the addition of a special blend of microorganisms for an additional 2 months. The time spent on the Riesling pomace adds subtle wine character with additional texture and complexity. The result is a unique beer with bright citrus and wine flavours, subtle nutty aromatics, and medium light acidity. We hope you like it.
BOTTLE POURS
  • 86 Lagér
    100ml $4 | 200ml $8 | 300ml $12 | 750ml Bottle $22
    5.3% — 12 Month Mixed Fermentation Blend
    86 Lagér is a barrel-fermented beer made with Lager and Brettanomyces yeasts. It’s a blend of 12 month California and Spanish Red Wine barrels and is lightly dry hopped with Saaz and Strisselspalt. While in barrel, rogue acidifying microorganisms infiltrated a couple of the barrels leading to an unexpected dimension: medium light acidity! The resulting blend has floral hop notes, balanced red wine fruitiness, bright citrus, and stone fruit aromatics. We love the result, but this acidification method has been forever 86’ed from our production playbook.
  • Substantially Complete 2021
    100ml $4 | 200ml $8 | 300ml $12 | 750ml Bottle $22
    5.6% — 1, 2, 3 Year Mixed Fermentation Blend
    Substantially Complete reflects The Monolith both as a physical entity and the beer it produces. This blend is a snapshot of our mixed fermentation program year to year, using Marsala, Red Wine and Cognac barrels of different vintages. After fermenting for 1, 2, & 3 years using a house-blend of microorganisms, the result is our quintessential blend— adventurous, yet balanced, with bright peach and citrus flavour, light oxidative and wine notes, highlighted by a medium acidity.
  • Convergent Evolution
    100ml $4.50 | 200ml $9.00 | 300ml $13.50 | 750ml Bottle $26
    6.5% — 2, 3, 4 Year Spontaneous and Mixed Fermentation Blend
    Convergent Evolution is the true convergence of Spontaneous and Mixed Fermentation. Fermented in red wine barrels for 2,3, & 4 years this blend combines the unique characteristics of both methods. The blend of 75% Spontaneous and 25% Mixed Fermentation gives the depth and complexity of Spontaneous with the brightness and vibrance of Mixed Fermentation. The result is a balanced beer with stone fruit and ripe apple aromatics, savoury wine depth, with a bright citrus finish and medium acidity. We hope you like it!
  • Sojourn In Sicily
    100ml $4 | 200ml $8 | 300ml $12 | 750ml Bottle $22
    6.8% —20 Month Mixed Fermentation Blend

The beer fermented in the Marsala barrels for 20 months before being blended. This blend is the first led by our brewer Ian “Nar” Nawrot who has been with us since the start. The result is a robust beer with subtle red berry and rose water aromatics, savory walnut and maple flavours which are amplified by a medium high acidity.
  • Mixed Multiple Entendres
    100ml $4 | 200ml $8 | 300ml $12 | 750ml Bottle $22
    6.0% — 14 Month Mixed Fermentation Blend
    The second of two collab beers with Sea Change, both were produced using identical ingredients but different processes. This Mixed Fermentation blend was fermented in Italian Moscato Bianco and Chianti barrels for 14 months using a special blend of yeasts and bacteria. The result is bright white wine fruitiness and red wine depth with intense citrus and floral hop character. It has round texture with high acidity, and a juicy finish.
  • Working Overtime
    375 ml Bottle $15
    9.9% — Brandy Barrel Aged Dark Lager – Brewed at the Market
    The brewing machine never stops in Blind Enthusiasm’s barrel room and Working Overtime is the delicious result of this process. A big dark lager was added to fresh Brandy barrels and aged for 20 months to create a smooth and boozy delight. Dark fruits and cherry cola notes are supported by a bright effervescence in this big, drinkable beer. We hope you like it.
CIDER + WINE
  • Barrel-Aged Sparkling Cherry Wine
    100ml $5 | 200ml $10 | 300ml $15 | 750ml Bottle $32
    7.9% — Uncommon Cider Co. Collab
    This sparkling cherry wine presents aromas of pomegranate molasses and fruit leather alongside flavours of hibiscus and raspberry jam. A year aging in barrel has resulted in soft tannic complexity balanced by a subtle sweetness and vanilla character. A soft frizzante-style effervescence makes this as crushable as it is thoughtful.
  • Barrel-Aged Cherry Apple Cider
    750ml $32
    7.5% — Uncommon Cider Co. Collab
    For lovers of all things wild and unique, this blend of cherry wine and apple cider is boldly different. Notes of red plum, almond and nougat mingle with a layer of creaminess reminiscent of panna cotta. Next stop; funky town. Hop on in.
  • Foraged Crab Apple Cider
    750ml $32
    7.8% — Uncommon Cider Co. Collab
    Dolgo crabapples are prized for their vibrant acidity, sweetness & tannin. Apple blossom and honeysuckle aromatics blend into soft tannic structure, complex acidity with notes of watermelon candy, sour cherry and honey.
