Happy 12th birthday to us!
Every year we release a Motley Cru barrel blend to celebrate another lap around the sun and an added year of wisdom. "Motley" here refers to an eclectic group, while "Cru" is a traditional beer term for blend, and together they scream "Happy Anniversary!".
The common thread across all 12 of the Motleys we've released over the years, is threefold:
1. The release must be a blend.
2. The blend must utilize oak aged beer.
And 3. The oak aged beer must be older than a year.
Our 2024 edition features a blend of spontaneous wild ales conditioned on Alphonso mangoes. It's tangy, sour, super fruity, an excuse to mark the passing of time, and a once-a-year opportunity to get sappy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Bottle pour at FHF 2024, pours an opaque orange and mango juice colour with almost no head. Aroma is juicy, with lots of dried out mango juice, gentle wild yeast, and some oak. Dried out mango juice, with an oaky, funky finish. Excellent.
