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.)

Bottle shared at Chriso’s and Ruth pre GBBF shindig, August 5, 2017. Pours pink. Berry nose, fresh raspberries, bit lactic feel to it. Tastes sour and has some milky edge. Not sure why or from where, soft vanilla. Otherwise nice tart, light and refreshing. Really good.

Bottle shared at Chriso’s and Ruth pre GBBF shindig, August 5, 2017. Hazy white. Very interesting medicinal herbal thing, quite stuffy with herbs. Guava? Sour cactus taste, quite tart and yes, very unique and surprising. Long tart linger, unique and surprising.
