On the weekend of her passing in early February 2011, Shaun set forth to honor the memory of his maternal grandmother with a singular beer—a Biere de Mars fermented in oak barrels with our wild yeast and resident microflora. 

Over the last fifteen years, this ruby-toned Farmstead® ale has demonstrated a distinct aptitude for ascending evolution during extended aging. Vintages have exhibited celestial finesse, prolonged determination, and a captivating liveliness that most lovingly conjures the memory of Norma herself—a memory that continues to shape our work.
