Fremontii

9.0% ABV

Fremontii is the result of an afternoon barrel tasting and blending with our friends Brouwers and The Masonry! What we came up with was a blend of 3 barrels. 2/3rds of the blend consisted of a rustic bock style beer, lagered in clean French oak puncheons throughout the winter of 2017. In the spring of 2018, it was re-barreled into second-use bourbon barrels and well-conditioned wine casks. We included one of each in this beer. The other 1/3rd of the blend is a 30-month-old cask of mixed culture pale saison.

It's difficult to say what "kind" of beer this is, but we can say is that it has a well matured acidity, hints of bourbon and sweet caramel, and a classic brett brux flavor in the background. The final product was bottle conditioned with native yeasts and bacteria for six months.
