Never heard of Lambic beers? They're funky, bright, vinous brews that originated in Belgium in the 13th century.
During a window of specific overnight temps in the fall each year, we take traditional turbid wort, let it rest over many nights in the open-air coolship, and allow the finest wild yeast and microorganisms to join in on the slumber party.
Our 2024 batch was divided into two light, tart, funky, extra bubbly versions — a classic spontaneous sipper and one with the addition of Cab Franc grapes.
Good things come to those who wait, and these beers have been waiting for you!

Bellwoods Intermodal Cab Franc 2024 6.5% (R)
This beer is a beautiful deep purple raspberry type color with a musty funky cork vinous aroma medium bodied but very dry and acidic with a prickly carbonation. You really get the Cabernet grape flavor and the wild ale acidic funk. For me the acidity is a touch too high but it’s an interesting beer for sure.

A deep dark burgundy red ale with a thin lacing off white head. In aroma, sweet fruity mix of tart cherries, lactic acid notes, grapeskins, light cork, light buttery notes, very nice. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity mix of tart ground cherry, light lactic notes, Epsom salts, light acidity, light Brett, very nice and complex. On tap at Lupulus.
