A Spontaneous Wild Ale

Aged in Oak Barrel with Viognier Grapes

The Law of Winter

This beer spent a total of three years in oak barrels. Two of them were spontaneously fermenting and resting by itself. It was then blended with fresh pressed cider apple juice, in a second round of oak where they further fermented and aged together for another year.
Finally, this was transferred into a third tank with a selection of freshly processed vanilla beans, cinnamon, allspice, ginger and orange zest.

Ivy is a beer made with 100% regionally grown pale malted barley. In the kettle, it sees both three to four-year aged whole leaf hops, as well as pellet hops from the most recent harvest. Both are grown here in Oregon. It is the most simple of our recipes, yet one of the most complex in expression. One malt, one hop, our wonderful local water, and time.

Ivy spends two years in neutral wine puncheons. We choose from these barrels a blend that is funky, but not too funky. Tart, but not too sour. Complex, but still hedonistic. Really, a blend that we are happy to make, to blend, and ultimately to share, in celebration of our new home.
