Ivy is a beer made with 100% regionally grown pale malted barley. In the kettle, it sees both three to four-year aged whole leaf hops, as well as pellet hops from the most recent harvest. Both are grown here in Oregon. It is the most simple of our recipes, yet one of the most complex in expression. One malt, one hop, our wonderful local water, and time.

Ivy spends two years in neutral wine puncheons. We choose from these barrels a blend that is funky, but not too funky. Tart, but not too sour. Complex, but still hedonistic. Really, a blend that we are happy to make, to blend, and ultimately to share, in celebration of our new home.

Just a small sip. Pretty funky sourness, not very harsh. The hops are clearly there with some bitterness, where I'm not sure it works. Pretty herbal, needs some fruityness. Barrels only give wood, not much wine. Pretty earthy.

750ml bottle thanks to Toby pours out crisp golden topped with a white head. Nose is nice funky barrel notes and some dust. Taste is more of the nice funky wood barrel and some floral.

Nice wild and funky with a touch of petrol. Clear gold with a decent white head. Soured and funky with a big hit of acid. Funky and nice.
