5 DEEP
BLENDED MIXED-CULTURE BEER
5.0 % ABV
mineral + peach + barnyard
For our latest anniversary blend to celebrate five (five!) years of the Depot, the grand trifecta of Will (Depot GM), Jake (Barrel Manager), and Austin (Head Brewer) ventured into our maze of barrels to select the beers for this year’s blend: 5 Deep!
Inspired by the previous blends’ low alcohol and beguiling simplicity and by Will’s undying fascination with lambic beer, 5 Deeps pours a pale copper and presents aromas of barnyard funk and stone fruit, backed by hints of minerality and cheese rind. On the palate, an oaky bitterness is followed by citrus pith and peach, finishing tart and dry.
The base of this beer is a combination of Saison and table beer, some of which have been aging almost as long as the Depot has been open. Fresh pale lager was blended in to brighten the palate and provide ample drinkability. Cheers to five years of funk!
