Billies Beer Fest 2025 VSB (Very Special Blend)
For Billies Beer Fest 2025, we filled 1 keg of this wine/beer blend straight from the barrel. It is served on keg without carbonation. We hope you enjoy it. Santé !
In Sept 2023 we imported 1 ton of Salamino grapes from Fangereggi, a winegrower & maker in Tuscany.
We destemmed the grapes by hand, macerated them in tank for 5 days before Pigeage. Then pumped off the grape must into tank for a natural fermentation. The fermented grape must was then blended with 2 year old spontaneous beer & sent to barrels for further maturation where it still rests.

Sampled at Billies, day 2. Clear autumnal red color, no head. Aroma and flavor are a bit thin, lightly sourish, lingering dryness in your mouth. Meh. 8-5-5-5-5

8/XI/25 - on tap @ Billies Craft Beer Festival Day 2 - Session 1 (Antwerp), BB: n/a (2025-1193) Thanks to all for sharing today’s beers!
Clear deep ruby red beer, no head. Aroma: yoghurt up front, lactic acid, fruity touch, cherries, red grapes, spicy touch. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: very sourish, dry, funky, some tannins, woody, earthy. Aftertaste: dry, fruity, more cherries, a bit earthy, gentle acidity, decent, good stuff!
