But wait... what does that mean?
First off, we do not add laboratory cultured yeast to ferment our beer. We simply cool the wort naturally in a coolship. Amazing yeast & microflora are all around us! That's why we're in Tillamook!
After the wort cools, we transfer everything to oak barrels (some big, some small, some medium). Each beer takes it's own time in barrels to finish fermenting.
Most of our beers take anywhere from 6 months to 5+ years in barrels before we package them.
Every bottle is naturally conditioned and ready to be enjoyed when we release it. Although the beer can age, please note the fruit and hop additions will dissipate with extended time.
But most importantly, we hope you enjoy!
Cheers!

Rating number 7,600. Also, my 760th Top 50 beer rating! 375 ml corked and capped bottle. 6% ABV. Honey gold pour. Large creamy white head dissipates to a small ring. Tart aroma of oak and peach. Flavor is tangy and fruity. Obvious notes of peach flesh, skins and farmhouse funk. Quite sour, but not lingering. Finishes dry and yeasty.

750mL bottle, pours a clear golden with a large white head. Aroma is very oaky, with lots of woody oak, tons of barnyard funk, wild yeast, and dry rustic yeast. Flavour is super woody, with lots of bone dry oak, wood, barnyard funk, wild yeast, and rustic notes. Complex yeasts, woody, dry and oaky. Excellent.

750ml @ Matt's (thx for the beer, man!) house. Appearance: almost clear straw with some white head. Aroma: funky, flowery, some juiciness, a bit of oak. This is more refined and elegant than regular Petria. Taste: along the same lines, very refined, closer to lambic, smooth. Finishes with hoppy bitterness. Has nothing to do with almost any other beers from the brewery I've had (of course, in a good way). Overall: very nice. If someone would tell me it is a lambic or something hopped and barrel-aged from HF I would believe it.

Poured from 750mL bottle (bottled 06/2023). Tried after regular Petria (4/20). Hazed blond gold with small white head. Still has some of the manure notes, but more subdued. Very dry oak, funk, overall very similar, but more mellow. Prefer the regular Petria (more depth).
