Description
Temporal Artisan Ales is a brewing project that is crafting delicate oak-aged beers in a shared space at Luppolo Brewing Company in Vancouver, BC. The beers we create are fermented 100% in our oak barrels over lengthy periods of time, imparting delicate complexity. Portions of separate barrels are blended to enhance specific characteristics unique to each barrel. Every beer we release has been meticulously crafted from start to finish.

473 ml can. Pours a dull pale gold with light head. Aromas of lemons, a bit of corn, floral yeasts and biscuity malts. Flavors follow same with a little spice and more defined pilsner malts. Refreshing.

Dec 07, 2025 (7/3/7/3/14=3.4): Poured from 473mL can (pkg 07/25/2025). Clear blonde gold with small white head. Still readily available despite being in my fridge for a while. Saison yeast, feint lemon pepper, clean and dry. With age, it's a touch simplistic, but still holds up in some aspects.

Aug 23, 2025 (7/3/7/4/15=3.6): Poured from the tap @ Threefold. Hazy yellow with small white head. Light lemon, saison yeast, soft background saaz hops. Light and easy drinking, would be a nice pool beer.

Hazy and pale. Light, yeasty aroma. Some florals. It's mild on the palate, with light hop. Solid, I'll want to revisit this one for a re-rate.

Toasty nose, that cheerios thing. Light hibiscus. Decent saison base, but the fermentation is definitely off.

750mL bottle. Pours murky mahagony with a pink head. Lots of rustic yeast, very earthy, some blueberries on the nose; a bit musty. Flavour has tons of lowbush blueberries, spicy rustic yeast, fresh grass clippings. Very nice.

Poured from the tap @ Threefold. Dark brown with minimal off white head. Lots of Belgian candi sugar dominating with nice bourbon underlay. It’s a bit too sweet in an unbalanced way. Still a nice sipper, but could dial in the balance a touch.

On tap at Farmhouse Fest 2025, pours a cloudy yellowish blonde with a a small white head. Aroma has plenty of rustic saison yeast, spicy Saaz hops, and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is dry, like a blend between an aged saison and Czech Pilsner, with grassy hops, spicy Saaz hops, and crisp biscuity malt. Spicy, dry, and rustic. Clean and spicy. Very good.

330mL bottle, pours a deep dark brown, almost no head. Aroma has plenty of Belgian yeast, candied sugar, some alcohol, and bourbon barrels. Flavour is fairly sweet, with lots of bourbon barrels, candi sugar, booze, and some dark dried fruits. The malt depth just isn’t there to carry this, and the palate is on the thinner side, but the sugars are nice and the barrel character is also quite good. Not convincing as a quad and lacking some complexity, but it’s a pleasant miscellaneous sweet bourbon strong ale.

On tap at Threefold. Pours dark brown with a beige head. Lots of bourbon barrels, dark sugars, and dried fruit on the nose. Flavour has a ton of boozy bourbon up front, lots of dried fruits, brown sugar, and sweet esters. Finding it a bit hard to get behind this one, the bourbon barrels are quite boozy and the base quad is too sweet and estery.
