About
Based in Edmonton, AB, we’ve set up our production brewery to be 100% exclusive to mixed fermentation sour and wild beers. Our initial barrel investment allows us to guarantee that all of our beers spend time on oak during the maturation period before they are released. Additionally, all of our beers go through a minimum four stage fermentation lifecycle: initial primary fermentation, secondary fermentation on oak, a homogenizing fermentation after blending, and finally a fourth fermentation in bottle to produce the tight, silky effervescence characteristic of these unique beer styles. Some releases will also include a fifth fermentation (fruited blends) between the other fermentation steps.

Bottle pour at Farmhouse Fest 2023, pours a cloudy dark orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out gentle pineapple, rustic saison yeast, and mineraly notes. Flavour is full of bright pineapple, rustic saison yeast, and some oak. Pineappley but not particularly complex. Decent.

Bottle split at Tilt, Bingo-Cotts Convention, Thanks to Chris 08/07/23. Moderately hazed orange with an off white cap that thins edgewards. Nose is tangy fruit rinds, light brett, damp cloth, funky apricot, straw. Taste comprises fucked over peach, grains, herb, tannins, mellow acidic strains, lactic pinch. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light acidic close. Decent.

16oz can @ monthly tasting, Chez Sophie, July 23. Cheers Simon for this one. Misty bright golden yellow pour, small white head. Nice ripened funk here, with a blossoming geuze-like fruitiness and balanced wild sourness. Passionfruit linger on the finish. Very satisfying.
