Description
We are a small, wild, sour & herbal brewery with a focus on limited batch releases of things foraged and aged. We run a cobbled together four barrel system in a effort to spread the eccentric and atypical!

We love the synergy of the seasons, the science of mixed fermentation and the history of herbal artisan ale.

Barrel aged and blended creations are released in small batches of less than 25 cases at a time. Our in house lab cultures provides a full ecosystem to each bottle.

There is no such thing as rare beer when every bottle is one of a kind!

Bottle from Bierkoning, Amsterdam. Aroma is bretty funk with grains, herbal notes, spicy yeast, buckwheat, thyme, light fruity, soapy notes. Flavour is light tart and sweet. Body is medium with a level of carbonation that gets in the way. Herbal and funky. Expected more from this, it's a bit rough.

Historical Beer - Gruit / Ancient Herbed Ale ✅ Certainly herbal. A bit floral, very earthy - almost a bit of a green tea profile. A bit tart and funky, and almost completely still. I appreciate it, but not really my cup of tea.

Hibiscus, red wine, cinnamon, caramel malt, and hay aroma. Dark amber with large tan head. Mildly sweet light cinnamon caramel malt, moderately sour hibiscus, and mildly bitter dry red wine and hay flavor. Good body. Interesting - definitely not like any other gruit I've had.

Tåkete gul med hvitt skum. Lukter blomster, parfyme. Mild syrlig i smak. Sitron framtredende i smaken. Kjenner det syrlige godt i avslutningen også.
