Description
he Referend Bier Blendery practices the neglected art of waiting, of letting nature run its course, to produce a beer of depth and character inimitable through technological shortcuts or chemical interference.These beers are:
-100% spontaneously fermented
-no yeast cultures are added at any point in the process
-Fermented and matured in oak barrels
-neutral oak imparts little flavor and allows the beer to breathe
-Unfiltered, Unpasteurized, Unsweetened to sustain the beer's natural essence
-Built for posterity
-bottles are capable of decades of aging
-Acidic and complex (not basic.)

Subtle and pleasant. Bread yeast, lime and citrus. A little grapefruit. Golden pour with good head. More grapefruit on the finish, and some unripe tangerine. Quite rich for style. Tap at Sovereign.

Cherry and a little sour oak. Grapefruit. Clearish orange pour without much head. Light tart finish. Good but lacks complexity of some of their better beers. Tap at brewery.
