We took to the higher elevation of the Cascades and gathered enough fireweed to brew a full batch. We dried the leaves and flowers to use in this beer by steeping them at the end of the boil. We then cooled the wort and inoculated it with a blend of our mixed culture and Jester King’s house culture of native yeast and bacteria from the Texas Hill Country. Fair Voyage was fermented in stainless steel for about two months and then bottled in early January.

Fair Voyage is 100% naturally refermented in bottles and kegs, unfiltered, and unpasteurized. At the time of bottling, it was 1.002 specific gravity and 3.8 pH.
