FERNANDO, Farmhouse Sour Ale With Blaufrankisch Grapes

Описание

A sea of flowers blooms in the stretch of land between our wooden barn and the hop fields behind our brewery. Each of these flowers hosts colonies of organisms. Some of these organisms enjoy making beer like we do. Yeast is a wild creature, after all, so we will befriend some and let them help us make this series of wild ales.A wild ale is a beer that is entirely fermented by wild sources of yeast and bacteria. In our case, the source is flowers from our farm. Its fermentation and final form are unpredictable, making this beer is a journey for brewers.Three yellow dandelions were discovered to be the best brewers out of the sea of flowers. The organisms that called the dandelions home were noted to produce unreal flavors of ripe pineapple, hard candy, and tea leaves, create a pleasant balance, and level of acidity, and finish the beer clean and clear in both taste and appearance. We experimented with other flowers and even fruits, but nothing compared to the work of the dandelion culture.This beer is then fermented by the dandelion culture only and entirely in wooden Sauvignon Blanc wine barrels from Bordeaux.Kozolec wild ales are a nod to the land and life in Arja vas. They are tied to a specific time, place, and memory. These are remarkable brews that cannot be recreated outside of the barrels in which they age. You could even say that we did not brew these beers – only befriended and guided the local micro-organisms who did.
