Through autumn we forage the hedgerows around the brewery that are heavy with berries. Every year we will bring out Redwood, an annual release celebrating the previous years hedgerow vintage.
Aged for almost a year in some second use Modus Operandi, Burgundy red wine and Scotch Whisky barrels to produce a rich, rounded, tart beer that is intriguing and tasty.
This year we believe it's our best aged with copious amounts of Sloes, Blackberries, Raspberries, Mulberrys, Damsons, Plums, Gooseberries, and Elderberries. Need we say more?

Bottle shared in Hackney - team effort. Pours hay amber-red with a frothy, off-white head. Nice tart berries in the aroma, leather, funk, cherries. Light sweet flavour with nice acetic bite, leathery berries, sweat, salt. Medium bodied with fine, spritzy carbonation. Quenching finish, more tart and leathery berries, acetic twang, some vinegar. Great stuff.

Bodney Bier Huis bottleshare. Thanks to the team. Hazy deep reddish amber beer, small pale pinky peach head. Palate is airy and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Tart berries and a little lemony citrus. Malts are thin and almost irrelevant. Tart slightly sour red/brown finish. Drinkable.
