Description
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.

Bottleshare at Chez Frog. Can. A light haze on this gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Light palate, pretty dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin and sweet malts but, they are overwhelmed by tart dried fruits. Dry crisp finish. Not bad but fucken dry.
