Batch 51
Wish I Could Get – pFriemsters Union
pFriem Brewing in Hood River, Oregon has a new barrel-aged beer. Well, not exactly new since it is aged for twelve months but anyway, the 2023 Pfriemsters Union Local 541 is a Cognac barrel-aged Belgian-style quadrupel that is 11.4%-ABV.
The Green Fairy
Firestone Walker has just upped their barrel aging game by not only finding absinthe barrels but then creating a beer that those barrels could affect in a new and interesting way. Plus cognac, rye whiskey and bitters barrels as well.
Deer in the Barn
Angel City has a new sour with a bit of a barrel twist, Fawns in the Farmhouse
Here are the interesting beer details: “We took a farmhouse saison and aged it in 2nd use Cognac barrels for 7 months to develop some sour and funky flavors with sour and wild yeast cultures. Then we crushed fresh Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from Twin Fawns Vineyard in San Miguel, CA and fermented the must and skins with Brett Lambicus and natural yeast on the grapes. Finally, we added the fermenting grapes to the farmhouse sour in barrels and let it age for another 5months.”
