We are pleased to announce that Barrel-Aged Cedar Oak bottles are now available at the brewery! This bottle-conditioned farmhouse beer was mashed in an oak puncheon, boiled over a wood fire in our copper kettle, and brewed with eastern red cedar. It was fermented with our wild house mixed culture and aged in an oak puncheon for a year with a native wild yeast. This beer is a Scratch favorite that takes on a prominent cedar presence to complement our house yeast character in tandem with a light vanilla flavor. The oak aging adds a bit more acidity and tannic character to better showcase the cedar and oak profiles. It's packaged in 750 ml bottles at 6.6% alcohol by volume for $20 and is ready for your enjoyment now or can be kept in your home cellar for several years. There will be no reservations on this beer and bottles are available first-come, first-served.
The year-long aging in an oak puncheon with native wild yeast must create incredibly complex layers of flavor. That process reminds me of how you can gradually develop and refine a musical idea by turning lyrics into song, letting it evolve over time. I’d love to know if the cedar notes come through more prominently on the nose or the palate.
Really enjoyed your take on the barrel-aged cedar oak! cookie clicker 2 It struck me how unique that flavor profile must be. Have you considered pairing it with something sweet for an even richer experience?
Wow, that sounds amazing! A year in an oak puncheon? Incredible. I might need to try and whip up a Monday Meme about that process later – seriously impressive brewing!
Mùi hương gỗ tuyết tùng hòa quyện cùng hương gỗ sồi ủ trong thùng gỗ (Barrel-Aged Cedar Oak) thực sự mang lại cảm giác vô cùng ấm áp, sang trọng và lịch lãm. Sự kết hợp tinh tế này rất thích hợp để tạo nên một không gian thư giãn, mộc mạc nhưng không kém phần chiều sâu cho những ai yêu thích phong cách cổ điển.
Và những lúc nghỉ ngơi, mình thường ghé tải video instagram online vì nó vừa đơn giản lại vừa nhanh chóng.
The way the wild yeast and oak aging interplay over a full year in the puncheon really brings out that cedar character. I could imagine using an AI music generator to create a soundscape that mirrors that slow, layered fermentation process. It would capture the same depth and evolving complexity.
