BEER DETAILS
Spruce cones and resin infused Grape ale with Sideritis grape skin.

Every September we turn to our winemaker friends for inspiration! Their side products, like grape skins, are always packed with flavor and aromatic phenols, it's such a shame to just distill them into a spirit! So each year we get them and we steep them in a different wild beer and try to reverse engineer natural wines! This year we were lucky enough to get the Sideritis grape skins from the famounts organic winery Tetramythos! Earlier in summer, we hiked with our friend Trifonas into the high mountains near Kalloni village. There we gathered spruce cones when their resin lvl was at its peak, bursting with the raw power that fuels new seedlings to grow! So we infused a reverse engineered wine with resin, just like Retsina, though the resin was not harsh, varnish like from pine but woody and candy like from spruce trees!

The brew smells like old spruce wood full of mycelium with playful resin notes! Taste is bone dry with medium body, medium tartness and interesting tannins both from the grape skins and the spruce cones! Sweet notes of candy and resin linger as you breathe in a long, tart and tannic finish!

Experience some of nature's raw power!
