The Farmhouse Brett is inoculated using Brettanomyces claussenii, a type of wild yeast found on the skins of fruit. Brettanomyces yeasts are able to ferment longer chain saccharides and starches resulting in quite dry ciders. The Farmhouse Brett exhibits the slightly funky characteristics of the yeast with flavors and aromas ranging from pineapple to the traditional Brett "horse blanket".

Undated bottle from a Farmer's Market in Tributary Brewing's parking lot, drunk 11/14/25, as pictured.
Funky and Bretty, of course, with some light poopy goodness. Juicy apple with good tannic structure and soft vanilla. Good acid.
Funky and Bretty again, though much more Brett acid than funk, though not too acidic. Very highly attenuated. Some apple tannin retains a good enough body, but it's super dry. Vanilla and honey and fruity, lightly juicy apple linger. Maybe a touch dry and muted in the flavor.
