Peach de Brettaville is a harmonious marriage of fruit and beer, bringing together our love for brett saisons and farm fresh fruit. We brewed our Saison Dolores and fermented it with twelve different brettanomyces strains, and aged it in wine barrels and our foeders with plenty of juicy peaches and nectarines.
After months of maturing and blending, this saison has developed a balance between earthy funk and stone fruit sweetness with a dry, white wine-like finish, perfect for pairing with creamy cheeses and braised pork.
Our Farm to Barrel beers focus on the eons-old tradition of aging beers in oak barrels, and our de Brettaville saisons expand upon this tradition by highlighting the magical properties of wild brettanomyces yeast. We start by brewing a bright and aromatic farmhouse ale with a blend of twelve “brett” yeast strains. After a vigorous primary fermentation, the beer is racked into wine barrels to mature. In cask, the beer takes on the complex flavors of the oak, and the brettanomyces yeast creates an exotic melange of earthy funk and tropical fruit flavors. This wild ale is alive in the bottle and will continue to mature for years.

Sample during the "Hoppin’ On Deck 2" tasting on 06/04/2017. Hazy yellow color with a thin white head that dissipates steadily to a wispy film. Spotty lacing. Aroma of funky yeast, oak, peach and malt. Medium body with flavors of funky peach, yeast, biscuit malt and oak. The finish is brett yeast and peaches. Good beer all around.

Grunt fill from Albertsons. Sour is not my go to style, but this one’s an exception. Hazy golden body, tart juicy aroma. This is what a sour should be. Taste is also juicy, big stone fruit flavors, puckering, dryness at the finish. Super delicious.

Tap. Pours foggy orangeish yellow. Aroma is peach and light funk, really fruity. Body is medium, lightly tart and sour, with a lively carbonation. Still fruity, even on the palate. Extremely balanced, pleasant and refreshing. Great beer.

Bottle into a snifter showing lightly filtered neon yellow with sparse white foam. The nose shows brett notes on a strong peach background. Does what it sets out to do. The palate is fully carbonated and medium bodied. Highly tart with very light brett and peach notes ending on an equally tart acetic note. Flavors are not exactly symmetrical with the great nose.
