"A foulage & carbonic maceration of kelleris cherries, spontaneously fermented with beer wort. 6 months matured in oak barrels. In July 2021 our brewer Tiago picked up 500kg of organic sour cherries from Karel Vaes in Limburg to create this deep red & sour cherry beer. Now cherish the cherries and be mezmerized in the moment!"

B.A. Mixed-fermentation Saison with Centennial, Motueka, Cashmere & Tettnanger and bottle-conditionned with local wildflower honey from upkeepers.

"This beer is defined by a natural marriage of coconut, rum and bourbon which produce aromas of coconut cream pie. Upon the first sip, light notes of honey and spice dance on the tongue before freshly-brewed coffee intertwines with the dominant toasted coconut flavours. The finish has a boozy edge which is softened by vanilla-forward sweetness and oak lactones from both the coconut and 14 months in bourbon & rum barrels."

"Still is a single barrel bottling of four year old beer, brewed in March 2018. We have been hoping to find a barrel that would have enough character and bite to exist without the need for carbonation. The wort was made using a turbid mash and underwent an extended boil with large quantities of aged hops. After two nights in our coolship, the wort was transferred to a single 500 litre barrel for four years of fermentation and maturation. The resulting beer was bottled still, without the addition of sugar to produce a refermentation. It has a significant richness for the abv, balanced by a striking hop bitterness, and lingering tannin from the four years in oak."

"Imperial Quad Stout barrel aged 7 months in Wild Turkey 12 yo barrels"

Blend of triple aged 6 months in Nadal Hainaut red wine barrel and a stout aged 18 months in Daumas Gassac red wine barrel .

"The latest volume in the Black Liquids series brings together the classic yet sophisticated combination of chocolate and oranges. The base beer received a generous dose of toasted cocoa nibs and was further conditioned on a big ol’ heap of orange peels — extracting the essence of the orange without the acidity in the name of keeping everything silky smooth. Does Black Liquids 9 bring forward fond memories of munching on a Terry's Chocolate Orange? Definitely. Did we melt several Terry’s Chocolate Oranges together in a pot in order to conduct a side-by-side taste comparison? Maybe later."

"Brettal Head is a unique, intensely fruity style of foeder aged pale ale. In true Bellwoodsian fashion we've tweaked and updated it to meet our current preferences. Fully fermented and massively dry-hopped beer undergoes refermentation in oak, creating new layers of complex brett character, light acidity, lasting hop aromatics, and expressive fruit flavour. "

"Grandma's Boy was one of the very first beers we aged in oak at Bellwoods, and its (almost) yearly release is one that garners much excitement. This year we decided to switch things up and share the unfruited version, in all its sour/funky/crisp glory -- and named it, simply, Grandma. The absence of fruit allows for more subtle flavours to shine through, showcasing the perfect intersection of acid, brett, oak, and a crisp, spritzy body. Gentle acidity balanced by refined brett character accented by notes of green tea, bosc pear, and champagne"

"Intermodal is our very first 100% spontaneously inoculated wild beer, created in a style inspired by traditional lambic producers. This particular Intermodal is our first three year blend, with spontaneously fermented beer from 2020, 2019 and 2018. We blended this year’s Intermodal for our tastes, that is to say using a larger percentage of the younger barrels than aged ones, and the results are a delectable balance of acidity and bitterness, with notes of tannic white grape, wild fermented cider, and apple baking spices."

"An everyday, juicy, drinkable sour with punchy hop aromatics and fruity foundational flavours. Low bitterness, light body, and pale yellow in colour, with notes of fuzzy peach, tangerine, and cedar. "

"This mixed fermentation ale is soured with a house blend of lactobacillus cultures prior to secondary fermentation and a heavy Citra-Simcoe-Cascade dry-hop. The result is juicy, sour, and thirst quenching. This limited edition version includes a semi-festive dose of cranberry and tangerine, imparting additional tart, citrusy flavours and a lovely ruby colour."

"An everyday, juicy, drinkable sour with punchy hop aromatics and fruity foundational flavours. Low bitterness, light body, and pale yellow in colour, with notes of fuzzy peach, tangerine, and cedar. This limited edition version includes a large dose of three tropical fruits that we hold near and dear to our hearts - adding explosive aromas and flavours of tropical fruit and a deep hazy orange hue."

"An everyday, juicy, drinkable sour with punchy hop aromatics and fruity foundational flavours. Low bitterness, light body, and pale yellow in colour, with notes of fuzzy peach, tangerine, and cedar. This limited edition Jelly King variant was conditioned on loads of strawberry and rhubarb purée and boasts juicy aromatics, a dry body with notes of strawberry pie, rhubarb jam, and citrusy hops. You're welcome."

"This edition is a barrel aged wild ale blended with the recent harvest of 2021 Gamay Grapes. It’s a nod to the Beaujolais Nouveau style, which celebrates young wine, fresh fruit, and bright flavours."

"White Picket Fence is a foeder fermented saison made by blending aged beet with a small percentage of fresh beer, before being gently dry-hopped & bottle conditioned. The result is refined & balanced, showcasing layers of acidity, lemon meringue aromatics, bright hop character & perfect champagne-like carbonation. This fruity version benefits from the addition of fresh peaches from Warner Orchards in Niagara."

Box containing 4 different monioblends from different type of foeders.

"For this collab with our lifelong friends, we decided to mix our cultures! A wild beer with an immoral dose of fresh (and seasonal.) quince fermented with a cocktail of our house cultures."

Foeder aged saison with Gewurztraminer pomace from Alsace

"A Farmhouse Adambier. Adelaide is our take on an adambier, an old world style ale. Aged in oak for one year, Adelaide is dry with notes of chocolate, stone fruits and a hint of smoke. Born out of a recipe from our homebrewing days, Adelaide is our take on recreating the oft overlooked Adambier style. Hailing from the era of pre-industrialized malting processes, these strong ales exhibited a smoke-forward profile from the use of wood-fired kilns and were usually aged for an extended period in wood. We started with a robust grist of Munich, Vienna, and Chocolate malts alongside the star of the show: Beechwood Smoked Barley. This ingredient allowed us to emulate that smoky aspect, while supporting a more rounded and rich malt base. Adelaide spent over a year in oak puncheons bef...

"We fell in love with the contribution of fireweed when we did a collab with Jester King – Fair Voyage (we brought down foraged fireweed for the beer). Our friend and ethnobotanist, Alex, first introduced us to fireweed for it’s similarity to green tea and ability to sustainably harvest. Alexandra has notes of green tea, herbs and a hint of citrus "

Saison with Hallertau Mittelfrüh hops.

"An oak-aged farmhouse ale featuring eastern Washington grown malted grain."

"An Oak-Aged Farmhouse Ale Dry-Hopped with Idaho Gem While hop-forward beers and oak-aged beers may seem to be in different veins, we’ve particularly enjoyed how these elements play off one another in our saisons. Perhaps you remember Jean-Michel, a release that was blended from puncheons and dry-hopped with French Barbe Rouge. The red fruit elements of the hop varietal and the vanillin present in the wood merged together to create an astounding note reminiscent of strawberry pound cake. This convinced us to continue exploring this path in our oak program, and what led to Gus! Starting with a farmhouse ale base featuring Salish Blue wheat from Skagit Valley Malting, Gus completed primary fermentation in oak puncheons and continued to age for 7 months. A hearty dry-hop of flavorfu...

"Our standard saison inspired by Wallonian saisons along the French Belgian border. Dry, ballanced and refreshing."

"Boon Geuze Mariage Parfait has an alcohol content of 8%. It consists of 95% mild lambic, aged at least three years and specially reserved for this purpose, and 5% young lambic. The latter provides the fermentable sugars and wild yeasts. After mixing in a vessel of 25,000 litres, the wort (unfermented mixture) is filtered and chilled. If we are bottling, we bring it back to fermentation temperature. The bottles are placed in a climate-controlled space for the secondary fermentation. This is followed by maturing at low temperature for at least 6 months. Want to know the bottling date? Simply subtract 20 years from the “best before” date!
The soft, mildly sour berry taste, harmonises with the oak barrels’ aromas in which Geuze Mariage Parfait has ripen. The body speaks of vanilla followed by a bitter aftertaste of cloves that becomes increasingly intense. Sublime."

"Today we're releasing a new farmhouse ale refermented with four different types of Texas summer melons -- Watermelon, Casaba melon, Santa Claus melon, and Sugar Kiss melon! Farmhouse Ale Refermented with Texas Summer Melons was brewed in August with well water, malted barley, malted oats, wheat, and hops. It was fermented in stainless steel with our mixed culture and refermented with the summer melons. It's 5.8% alcohol by volume, unfiltered, unpasteurized, and 100% naturally conditioned."

"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."

A spontanious wild ale with riesling grapes aged in oak barrels for two years.

"The Bright Side beers are two friend’s attempt to view the world with a glass half-full. When Bryan Martin (Ravensworth Wines) realised his vines were smoke tainted from the 2020 bushfires, he concocted a plan ‘B’ with Topher Boehm (Wildflower Brewing & Blending). These beers are the marriage of Bryan’s hand harvested, carbonic macerated, whole bunch wine grapes with Topher’s freshly fermented Gold Australian Wild Ale. Aged and macerated for eight months in Murrumbateman before travelling to the big smoke for bottling and maturation."

"A 50/50 blend of barrel aged Gold with fresh Gold that has just completed primary fermentation. This composition of aged and fresh beer is what we had originally intended for our Gold. It didn't end up like that though, as Gold is 100% barrel aged. We love the fresh fermentation esters and bright hop character we get in our young fermentations. This is what we focus on in beers like The International & As It Were (coming in November). But we can't hide that we also love the apparent funk, creamy mouthfeel and complex fermentation flavours of aged beer. We dont think of this blend as being a best of both worlds, but more an attempt (and this is only the first one) to marry these flavours harmoniously. One of the beers that really got me thinking about making mixed culture beers a...

"St Henry is an Australian Wild Ale made with apricots. It is named for Chris and Emily’s second son. Saint Henry II was a Holy Roman Emperor during the 11th century. In 2021, St Henry was made by blending barrel aged golden mixed culture fermentation ale with 1060kg of fresh, whole, tree ripened Robada apricots from Yarralee Orchard in Kelso, NSW."

"Wattle Drops 2020 is a golden Australian Wild Ale fermented wholly by wild yeast and bacteria residing on freshly picked Wattle blossoms from ‘Carawatha’ in Gerringong, NSW."
