Surprise, Surprise โ We Got Nasty with Yeast! ๐ถโ๐ซ๏ธ๐ถโ๐ซ๏ธ
This oneโs a little wildโฆ weโve been playing around with some experimental yeast strains, and while it might not be everyoneโs vibe, thatโs the beauty of trying new things. Cool stuff happens when you experiment.
.
For this beer, we teamed up with @escarpmentlabs โ a Canadian yeast lab known for their innovative, high-quality strains that fuel creativity for brewers all around the world. At first, they attempted a cross between two strains, but things got weird during propagation. So instead, we pivoted to a classic approach: a unusual blend of yeast strains, where both strains co-ferment and bring their character to the ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ฒ.
.
We brewed this one especially for @farmhousefest ๐งก . Yeah, saisons arenโt usually our thing, but we wanted to bring something wild and hoppy to the table. Enter: a blend of Ebbergarden (kveik) + Foggy London (English-style). The result? Something completely different from what youโd expect from us.
.
To amp it up, we dry-hopped with ๐๐จ๐ซ๐๐ฅ ๐๐ซ๐ฒ๐จ and ๐๐๐๐ก๐จ ๐๐๐ฆ. To deliver a mix of floral, herbal, and citrus notes with a touch of bright cherry, red fruit, and a bit of candy sweetness.
.
The base keeps things light and clean, a mix of wheat, oats and rice flakes, letting the ๐ฒ๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ and hops shine.

Opaque yellow. Ok hop aroma. Some hop burn, though. Malts are kind of awol, the result being that would could have been a decent showcase for underutilized varietals ends up wasting them.

Poured from the tap @ Threefold. Hazy yellow with small white head. Unique blends of yeasts, has a light kviek quality, lightly creamy, floral citrus hops with a light berry character round it out. Okay.

On tap at Farmhouse Fest 2025, pours an opaque yellow with a small white head. Aroma is chalky, with plenty of hopburn, a touch of dankness, and chalk. Flavour is harsh, with lots of chalk, egregious hopburn, and few redeeming qualities. Not as egregious as some hazies but itโs quite poor.
