Civil Disobedience

25

Blended in the winter of 2017 and packaged in early 2018, this batch consists of several unique and independent threads—including Anna; an experimental buckwheat Farmstead® ale that would lead towards Samuel; Juicy; and Sankt Hans—all of which weave together to form a beautiful sensory image greater than the sum of its parts.

26

This batch was blended in the fall of 2018 then packaged in November 2018, pulled together from several unique and independent threads—including young wine barrel-aged Arthur; puncheon-aged Anna; an experimental 14 month old buckwheat Farmstead® ale that would lead towards Samuel; and nearly 2-year-old wine barrel-aged Sankt Hans.

27

This batch was blended and packaged in February 2019, woven from several unique threads—including wine barrel-aged Dorothy; puncheon-aged Anna; an experimental Farmstead® ale featuring Perle hops; and nearly 14-month-old wine barrel-aged Brother Soigné.

29

This 29th iteration in our series of blended, barrel-aged beers, weaves together several threads from a variety of barrels—ranging between 8 and 18 months—including Brother Soigné, experimental Farmstead® Imperial IPA, an unreleased beer to be named Wheat Blanc, and Self-Reliance Motueka. This pleasantly tart, hoppier offering has been bottle-conditioning for the last 14 months and has arrived at a pleasant intersection and expression.

30

This blend is composed of beers aged in red and white wine barrels, which formerly held Art, Flora, and (the yet to be released) Double Honey Ann. Blend components include Sankt Hans, Brother Soigné, 90% Wheat base, a Buckwheat base that aligned with the formulation of Samuel, and several barrels of Florence. Bottled in October of 2017, this beer has benefited from its three years of bottle conditioning.

31

This assemblage comprises nine beers conditioned in wine barrels and puncheons for spans between 4 and 15 months. Packaged in May 2018, the hopeful maturation of this blend has required nearly three years in the bottle. The result, much like Blend 30, is a delicate, complex, pleasantly tart expression of time, barrel, and nature that will achieve for several more years. Given its long conditioning time and lively effervescence, we recommend presenting this at 40ºF/4ºC.
