PINOT DOJO

PINOT DOJO

FRUITED SAISON

7.2% ABV

tannic + berry + effervescent

After an almost mythical existence inside our brewery, we're excited to finally release Pinot Dojo! Back in 2018, this beer rested on that year's harvest of Pinot Noir grapes from Medici Vineyards in Oregon for six months before being racked into neutral oak barrels and left to slumber for four years before being bottled in 2022. This gave the beer ample time to extract the beautiful tannins from the skin of the grapes. Pinot Dojo is a lovely blend of wine and beer flavors, but we wouldn’t call this a hybrid. The base beer is a Brett Saison with a light, citrusy acidity, and mild yet pronounced Brett funk. This is very much a beer, but conditioning on the grapes allows for the native yeast and bacteria to do their work, giving more wine funk, acidity, and complexity to this beer while helping make it incredibly drinkable.
