Strawberry & Cherry | 2021 Harvest

Strawberry & Cherry | 2021 Harvest is a blend of traditionally brewed spontaneously fermented beers across two brewing seasons, with the oldest portion brewed in 2019. A portion of the blend was aged in one of our foudres. In the late spring, we picked up fresh, overripe strawberries from one of our favorite farms in South Jersey and squished them by hand into the blend for a short period of contact at a rate of 8 lbs per gallon followed by extended oak aging. In June, we received Montmorency cherries and added to a portion of strawberry spontaneously fermented beers at a rate of over 2 lbs per barrel. At bottling, this beer had an average age of 34 months and has been conditioning with young spontaneously fermented beer since its bottling in 2022. Strawberry & Cherry | 2021 pours a ruddy orange with aromatics of strawberry preserves and cinnamon, and flavors of cherry and strawberry rhubarb pie.
