secondary culture

We are excited to share our new polymicrobial style ales aged in handcrafted French Oak Foeder (FOOD-er) barrels. These ales combine wild yeasts and bacteria with brewer’s yeast fermentation, and the subtle influence of French oak, creating complex layers of tartness, funk, and gentle spice. Slow aging in large foeders allows for secondary fermentation to deepen and harmonize flavors, producing a refined, evolving beer that honors both tradition and innovation.

THE BEER IS ALIVE.

Bottle-conditioned beers undergo a slow secondary fermentation in the bottle, producing natural carbonation and a living character that evolves. The fine bubbles are soft on the palate, offering elegance rather than force. At the same time, the wild yeasts and bacteria work quietly beneath the surface, shaping flavor, developing nuance, and deepening complexity with every passing month. Whether enjoyed fresh for its bright acidity and subtle funk or cellared to allow layers of fruit, oak, and earthiness to unfold, this beer rewards patience and curiosity. Pour gently, or swirl to embrace its soul.
