It’s been a while since we posted about actual b**rs, let’s fix that.
Two new releases this week and a change.
-Bumblebee’s Favorite (5.8%) farmhouse ale with anise hyssop. This is a wheat-heavy Belgian blonde with a bunch of anise hyssop added after fermentation. The hyssop was all grown in planters just out the back door of the tasting room, and every time I’ve walked through them there have been about 100 bumblebees I have to brush up against…never once have I been stung.
-Old Rejuvenator (11.6%) dark strong ale with dandelion (all harvested on site), Sichuan pepper and apple. Thus was brewed in January and has been on-and-off cold aging since. Lots of big calvados notes, with a low northern Spanish acidity that does not push into the realm of actual sour b**r. The alcohol is sneaky, and the tartness and tannins finish reminiscent of high precent dark chocolate.
-Dear Companion (6.4%) saison. This one was previously called Starry Campion after the flower, but it spiritually feels like an every-day sort of b**r. We re-named it, brewed a big batch and are now serving it in a bigger pour. This one is heavily influenced by some favorite Belgian b**rs that shirk stylistic categorization, but for ease of communication, we’re calling it a saison. For IPA drinkers, this one has a ton of fruit character going on and plenty of bitterness. For people who like a milder b**r, this still has everything you’re looking for. For everyone else: this also probably has everything you’re looking for.
