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.)

On tap at BeerTemple. Pours murky dull yellow with a white head. Rustic yeast and citrus notes on the nose. Flavour has citrus peels, rustic yeast, grainy malts, bandaids, oak; not rhubarb to speak of. Not particularly good.

On tap at Peders, pours a cloudy orange, no head. Aroma has plenty of musty grape skins, earthy funk, a hint of phenols, and a little mildew. Flavour is dry, with earthy grape must, moderate funk, and a touch of dry leather. Very dry, funky, and musty. Good stuff.
