We’re grateful to have brought home two medals from this year’s Great American B**r Festival. Particularly for two b**rs that mean a great deal to us.

Saison Automne and Saison Été were both wild b**rs brewed in collaboration with Santa Barbara Botanic Garden for their centennial anniversary.

It was an honor to be part of that celebration, and to see these b**rs, made with ingredients from our region, recognized on a national stage makes it even more special.

A big thank you to our brewing team.

B**r from here.

That’s our journey. Not long ago b**r made from local / regional ingredients would have been the norm. The vast majority of b**r styles were created in this way.

Today - it’s very very unusual. Almost no one will have experienced a b**r made with local ingredients.

In a matter of days we will be releasing b**rs made entirely with ingredients from Santa Barbara County. Made from ingredients farmed by us in Los Olivos. It’s a dream come true.

Most of you know we have been growing grains for around five years.

About three years ago we built the trellising for a hop yard, adjacent to the wheat field at the ranch.

Two years ago, we purchased about 800 hop seedlings and rhizomes and planted them.

Last year was our first harvest. It was meager. The plants were small. We harvested a few bines, dried them in the cellar with the lambic and used them on the cold nights in our lambic wort.

This year the 400 seedlings grew strong. Over 15 feet in the air. In September the air around the hop yard was full of hop aromatics influenced by the year’s weather and our soil.

Zak from Thomsen Hops in Tracy, CA, was kind enough to teach us how to evaluate hops for moisture content and determine the perfect time for harvest.

When the lupulin of the hops was maximized and the moisture content where we wanted it, Eric, Tracey, Garrett and I cut the bines down from wires while standing on the back of the flatbed. From the flatbed the bines were loaded into the w**ery’s box truck and driven straight to Thomsen Hops in Tracy, California.

We yielded enough hops to create about 2000 gallons of estate Pilsner, and 300 gallons of Pale Ale.

The Pale Ale was created with Vista hops from the ranch. We drove those straight to our friend Ryan at Wild Fields who created a Pale Ale with them.

The Pale Ale will be on draught at Third Window Brewing and Wild Fields this weekend.

The estate Pilsner will take a bit longer as it has to be cellared. The estate b**r will be the first b**r crafted from entirely Santa Barbara ingredients in decades… perhaps a century? We’ve never heard of one - much less tried one.

Only a few weeks more to wait.

Kunin Project Blend #2.

Born through the friendship between a brewer and a w**emaker, Kunin Project Blend #2 is a Saison fermented with the natural yeast and microflora of Chenin Blanc pomace from our friends at Kunin Wines.

During w**e grape harvest a few years ago, we brewed a batch of our base Saison while Kunin pressed their Chenin Blanc. The freshly pressed skins were added directly to the Saison wort, kicking off a vigorous fermentation. After a month, the b**r was transferred to French oak barrels, where it aged for one year.

The following harvest, a second addition of higher-acid Chenin Blanc pomace was added, extending the Saison’s time on the skins and in barrel for another year.

Bottle conditioned and cellared for deep flavor development, the finished Saison offers notes of white grape, ripe pear, apricot, oak vanillin and orange w**e, layered with gentle acidity, w**e-like minerality and a distinct tannic structure.

73 cases produced.

Kunin Project Blend #2 is part of our quarterly b**r club release.

Xöko Bomb.

Our Fall Taste League release is a seasonal variation on Öko Bomb, inspired by Xocolatl — the original Mexican hot chocolate.

We started with Ancho chiles grown on FP Farm and smoked over FP Ranch oak. Our friend and neighbor Mike at Twenty-Four Blackbirds supplied freshly roasted cacao nibs, along with Oaxacan chiles grown at his cacao and orchid farm in Goleta.

Those ingredients came together with Imperial Stout aged for three years in Willett Sour Rye Wh***ey barrels, developing a rich, viscous body and subtle spirit character before being blended with fresh Russian Imperial Stout. Cinnamon and vanilla bring the layers together, balancing bold chocolate with chile and spice. 12.6% ABV.

A few things are changing at Third Window.

We’ve brewed our last IPA in our Santa Barbara brewhouse.

Going forward, our IPA will be brewed in collaboration with our friends at Wild Fields Brewhouse in Atascadero.

The partnership came about organically alongside another big decision we recently made: Third Window is coming to Atascadero.

These things are more connected than they might initially seem.

Moving IPA out of our brewhouse is part of a larger shift in how we’re thinking about what we want our brewery to be. In many ways, it feels like a return to our roots and the intentions we had for Third Window from the beginning — focusing our brewing here on b**rs that feel distinctly regional, specialized, and connected to the place and ingredients around us.

Our first WCIPA brewed in collaboration with Wild Fields is now on tap at both Santa Barbara and Carpinteria.

We’re excited for what this partnership allows us to focus on here, and for what’s ahead in Atascadero.

More soon.

Saison Automne 2026 — the third release in our yearlong collaboration with Santa Barbara Botanic Garden , celebrating the Garden’s centennial.

Our Farmhouse Saison, brewed with malt and wheat grown here on the FP Farm, was re-fermented with our mixed culture of Brettanomyces and Lactobacillus. During secondary fermentation, we gathered white and black sage from the Garden, brewed the leaves into a concentrated tea, and added it to the blend. The b**r was then bottle conditioned with Cuyamaca Valley wildflower honey.

Sage tea with honey felt like autumn here.

White sage brings a cooling herbal character; black sage, savory pine. The wildflower honey lends floral and fruit notes against a light, effervescent body and dry finish.

Golden orange in the glass, with aromas of wildflower nectar, fresh pine and black pepper, followed by honeyed grain, wildflowers and summer fruit blossoms.

Saison Automne 2026 is available now at the Farm in 500ml and 750ml bottles, while this season lasts.
