Civil Disobedience Blend 37 • Nelson Pale Ale • Three Magic Letters • Double Galaxy • Poetica

A new emergence of Civil Disobedience arrives in our retail shop, as well as three newly packaged canned offerings and the return of Poetica, which will be available in growlers to go alongside mugs to enjoy onsite. 

Civil Disobedience Blend 37

This, the thirty-seventh entry in our blended barrel-aged Farmstead® ale collection, spans more than five years and is comprised of wine barrel-aged Anna from late winter 2019, Wheat Blanc from late spring 2019, and a few additional selected threads from late 2018. The barrel lineage for this assembly includes Sarrasin, Works of Love: Sante Adairius Rustic Ales, Flora, Ann, and Art.

Its unhurried journey from brew day to assembly to glass traverses nearly four years of conditioning in the bottle prior to release. Observing this over these four years in bottle, we anticipate that this blend has an extended path of positive expression for the next 5 (or more) years; its current manifestation exhibits a delightful balance of integrated acidity, texture, and weight.

We can now present another blended experience of time, place, and patience.

Poetica

A portion of Mary, our German-style Pilsner, was lagered in our oak puncheons at 1-3º C. After nearly three months, the beer was moved to tank and krausened—like all of our lager—with fresh fermenting beer to provide natural carbonation. Once again, we present you with a softened, refined, and elevated representation of Mary.
