Belgian Gueuze-inspired beer. It has always been our dream to have a beer of this style available year round. It consists of a thoughtful blend of 1, 2, and 3-year-old spontaneously fermented beer! Every year we put away stock of Lambic-inspired beer brewed as closely to Belgian tradition as possible. It involves turbid mashing, a long boil with aged whole leaf hops, natural cooling and inoculation in our rooftop koelschip, and spontaneous barrel fermentation. The wort is fermented only with the natural yeast and bacteria that land on it overnight while cooling.
This batch of Culminate was blended and bottled on June 9, 2021, and conditioned only with the cultures present in the beer. The layered flavors of funky fruit, cheesy hops, gentle oak, a bright citrus acid profile, and pleasant natural carbonation give this beer unrivaled complexity for its strength.

Bottle, at the March 2025 DCBeer share. Poured a hazy golden orange color with a very small white head. Aroma was some light funk, oak. Light dusty notes. Very delicate tasting, if that makes any sense. Very light peppery character, with an acidic character.
