About
Our philosophy is to brew beer with the adventurous craft beer drinker in mind—focusing on hand-crafted, small batches of beer, using local, seasonal and organic ingredients as much as possible.

Our beers are influenced mostly by Belgian and American craft styles, but the addition of premium ingredients such as fruits, spices or wild yeast strains sometimes causes the beers to defy traditional categories. Our barrel aging program features a wide variety of beers aged in wine and spirits barrels, ranging from a Rye barrel-aged Mexican Chocolate Stout to a wild yeast-fermented Saison aged on Missouri wine grapes in French oak wine barrels. We strive to always achieve balance with each of our recipes, making our beers exceptional with food.

7.8/10 — Appearance 10 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 8
Bottle shared by savnac: Poured a thick dark brown/black with a tan colored head. Aroma is very cacao/chocolate and a weird offsetting peppery. A very weird mix of chili spice beginning leading to a strong cacao and roasted malt flavor. It seems to me that the spice comes back in the end as well. I couldn’t see myself drinking a large quantity of this, but in a group setting it was perfect.

New Beer Distributors, NY 750ml ($10.25): Pours an orange colour with a light white head. Aroma is saison funk, loads of flowers, and a hint of honey. Taste is very lightly bitter and hoppy. Mouthfeel is nice and ligthly carbonated. This is dry, but just a bit. Sweetness is also really light and subdued. A pretty decent saison.

Bottle at the Funky 8, Brooklyn, NYC. One of the best beers of the day. Pours gold with a large, fluffy white head. Aroma holds subtle barnyard character, with light wheat and floral tones. Great flavor, very well balanced, mildly bitter with grass and flowers, sweet with fine, doughy malts. Light to medium bodied with smooth, massaging carbonation. More of the same to finish - flowery hops, doughy malts, very subtle funk. A beautiful beer. Mellow, smooth. Superb.

7.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
750mL bottle pours slightly hazy deep gold with loose light tan head. The aroma offers up citrus like tangelo notes that quickly get resiny with wood sap spiciness. The taste is similar with a nice citrusy orange to tangelo sensation and then leading into more and more bitterness with resiny wood spicy notes. The malts that sweeten up the citrus and the spicy wood are in good balance and make for a pleasingly bitter experience.

7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
750 ml bottle. Body is a slightly hazy gold with lots of foamy head. Aromas are interesting, but a little understated. Kind of a doughy bread base with a little bit of plum fruit and a hint of grain dust and honey. There’s just a hint of a tart edginess in the nose, and it comes through fairly strong on the flavor end of things. Flavor is a little like plum peels or the flesh nearest the pit on a slightly under-ripe nectarine... It’s a very interesting brew and hides its abv particularly well.

750 ml bottle. Pours a slightly hazy gold with a sudsy head and aromas of light lemon, a little grass and some dusty grain notes. Flavor is light and refreshing with a decent amount of lemony edginess to it, but has a somewhat dusty grain presence that seems a little off... This is a very good beer, but my first mild disappointment from Perennial.

8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 9 Texture 8 Overall 8
750 ml bottle. Proud is a fairly dark brown... highlights come through on the pour, but in the glass it’s pretty dark. Head is fairly thin and tan, maybe a quarter inch by the time it’s all said and done. Aromas are kind of muted, but I pick up some fruit (smells like black cherries to me), very light chocolate notes and a little graininess. Flavor is interesting... Tastes a lot like a very good cherry stout. There is a decent amount of roasty maltiness but the crown jewel is the current presence which is robust and carries the beer from start to finish, but gets tarter as it goes until a fairly sour finish. I was a little afraid of this one, thinking it could go south pretty quickly, but I didn’t expect it to be this good.
