Story Behind the Beer: Ottavia & Carolina, named after two of the owner’s twin daughters, are complex and playful beers that brings together grain and grape in a nod to the Italian Grape Ale style. Using the same base beers, with varying proportions, these beers were carefully blended to create variations that are uniquely their own. Borrowing process techniques from winemaking to incorporate the use of Pinot Noir grapes with a mixed-culture barrel-aged golden ale allowed us to elevate each ingredient.

Soft and fruity. Great brett character. Nice soft fruit, good complexity. I like it.

Bottle pour at Farmhouse Fest 2025, pours a clear copper orange with a small white head. Aroma has some acidic grape skins, farmhouse notes, and moderate acidity. Flavour is acidic, with gentle grape skins, ligit barnyard notes, and mustiness. Old and tired but has some nice grape skins, but the acidity is a bit too high. Decent for a 6-year-old wild ale.

Poured with a bottle that had a crumbly cork that took way too much effort to remove, it's a light rosy copper body with minimal foam. Smells softly of apple and rosewater, soft wood notes. Flavour is a light tart apple with rose petal notes, soft wood to keep it dry. Very nice carbonation, medium pithiness, low acidity. Quite enjoyable.

A hazed burgundy red ale with a thin lacing off white head. In aroma, interesting mix of dark fruits and Italian spices, myrhh, red grapes, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity malt with light acidity, dark fruits, light spices, very nice. On tap at brewery.
