Giant Steps is a study on the blending and harmony of wine barrel aged beers. Based around 2 French Oak Red Wine Puncheons, this series will be an ever revolving door of styles and flavor components. Stay rooted, but never stagnant.
Blend 1 brings together a Puncheon fermented Red Wheat and Rye Saison aged for 7 months and conditioned on Apricots, with a single barrel of 17 month old French Oak fermented South City Wild Ale. This batch was entirely fermented in French Oak with both Brettanomyces and natively captured yeast and bacteria. Packaged conditioned with a house blend of Brettanomyces, Giant Steps Blend 1 will change and develop with aging.

Bottle at Bumba. Aroma of tart, citrus, hay and funk. Flavor of tart, citrus, funky hay and horseblanket. They can do no wrong.
