Caligo Lupu is a blend of a Nevel-made Farmhouse Ale and a three-year old Gerste from HenkeBier dry-hopped with Saaz.
When Nevel announced they were calling it quits, we figured we’d give them a hand; clearing out their barrel stock and do something fun while we were at it. We bought a full barrel of wild saison and gave it the HenkeBier treatment; we blended in some of our own beer, then dry-hopped it with fresh Saaz hops. The result is a blend of wild saison and classic Dutch gerste, aged for around three years in oak. After that, we gave it a big, bold dry-hop with Saaz for a few extra weeks. Bottled on the 13th of August.
