Spontaneous Ale Co-fermented w/Fresh Pressed Grape Juice. Alc 6.8% Vol

A single barrel of 50% Blonde Wild Ale and 50% 2019 pinot noir juice from Gusbourne Estate in Kent, spontaneously fermented in oak for 12 months.

The aroma of this beer is very punchy with hints of citrus, oak, and an almost confectionary sweetness. Despite the light colour, the flavour carries through as recognizably pinot noir - with hints of dark cherry, vanilla, oak, and a touch of tobacco spice.

Wild Ale Refermented on Whole Blackberries & Blackcurrants. Alc 5.9% Vol

A three barrel blend with an average age of 14 months in oak, refermented of freshly picked blackberries and blackcurrants for a further three months.

The aroma of this beer begins with a hint of green nettle from the blackcurrant before dissipating into a deep jammy sweetness. The flavour is dominated by the high fruit rate giving the perception of a Ribena inspired fruit wine with minimal remanence of the base beer being present. The acidity is clean but firm and finishes with a delightful residual sweetness from the blackberry.

Wild Ale Refermented on Whole Damson Plums. Alc 6.6% Vol

A three barrel blend of blonde wild ale fermented by and aged on our wild London yeast for an average of 24 months in oak. Refermented on freshly picked damson plums from Green Acres Farm.

The aroma reminds of plum sauce with a hint of fresh, seedless, crimson grapes; as it warms the delicate phenolics from the plum skins open up. The flavour of this beer is dominated by the incredible damson plum fruit character from the very high fruit to beer ratio. It starts rich and almost reminiscent of quince paste before being met by a refreshing acidity, mellowing into fresh plum and finishing with a touch of tannin.

Bret Fermented India Pale Ale. Alc 5.7% Vol

Born from a love of alternative fermentation - an IPA with a twist. This beer was fermented with a blend of two Brett strains: WLP 648 Brettanomyces Bruxellensis Trois Vrai and Imperial Yeast W15 Suburban Brett. Double dry hopped with Citra BBC pellets, half before going to barrel for 3 months, the other half just before bottling. We recommend drinking this beer fresh, as the hop taste and aroma will fade in time. Initial Citra flavour with a background of smooth chardonnay, creaminess and wood, and plenty of ripe tropical fruit.

Barrel Aged Strawberry Smoothie IPA. Alc 6.5% Vol

Strawberry Smoothie Breakfast Sour IPA. A fresh IPA loaded with strawberry, Madagascan vanilla beans, and lactose; Subsequently dry hopped with Cashmere and Mosaic. 3 bar- rels of 9 month old sour blonde beer were then blended in to add a light sourness and round the
beer.

Brewed in collaboration with Brew By Numbers.

White Jasmine Tea Barrel Aged Saison. Alc 6% Vol

A collaboration with friends from Dois Corvos in Lisbon and We Are Tea of London. Our original collaboration Saison, Lost Leaves - brewed in February 2019, had several strains of Brettanomyces pitched when racked to barrels. We then took four of these barrels and blended with a young Saison, “dry hopping” with 2kg of White Jasmine tea. A per- fumed cinnamon, tea, and herbal minerality are up front, with a backbone of dry Saison and mild Brett aromatics through the finish. A true collaboration from friendships forged at Carnivale Brettanomyces 2018.

Barrel Aged Brett India Pale Ale. Alc 8% Vol

100% Brettanomyces Claussenii fermented IPA. Lightly dry hopped with Citra, Azacca, and Hallertau Blanc before ageing in oak for 2 months and then bottled in February of 2019. Biotransformation between the hops and Brettanomyces ensure the fruity aromatics from the hops linger well after hop aromas fade in normal IPAs. A testament to the transforming effects of age on beer. Wholly dry, Brett forward, with a Belgian yeast like quality.

2 Year Barrel Aged Golden Sour. Alc 7% Vol

Our first beer put into barrel by London Beer Factory. A blonde base was barrel aged for 2 years in red and white wine barrels. Then blended together and lightly dry hopped with Citra and Azacca. A smooth and delicate beer with up front Chardonnay-like acidity and creaminess followed by a melon and blood orange zest finish.

Young & Barrel Aged Blended Saison. Alc 5.9% Vol

Brewed as part of Collabfest 2019. A nod to traditional French and Belgian farmhouse brewing, Biere Du Coupage is a method of blending aged sour beer with fresh hoppy Saison to find a bal- ance of acidity, hoppiness and farmhouse flavours. The base mixed fermentation sour beer was aged on oak for 10 months. In July staff from Brewdog Clapham then joined us to brew the fresh component for the blend; steeping lavender and hops post-boil, before fermenting with Belle Saison. The two constituent beers were then blended and bottled a month later. A fresh herbal hoppy flavour with mild acidity and gentle oak character.

Mixed Fermentation Barrel Aged Saison. Alc 5.5% Vol

A blend of two similarly aged beers, both with their own Saison, Brettanomyces, Lactobacillus and Pediococcus yeast blends. Tight and well-balanced; a dry, lightly acidic, woody, and funky Saison. This beer spent 4 months in reconditioned Bordeaux barrels and a further two months in stainless-steel whilst blended. Bottle conditioned, this will continue to develop and change flavour profiles with age.

Dry Hopped Mixed Fermented Saison. Alc 4.5% Vol

A 3 barrel blend of blonde mixed ferm base saisons selected for their moreish acidity and creamy malt base. These barrels were moved to a stainless steel tank and dry hopped with 7g/L of Motueka before being packaged and naturally carbonated in bottle. The base acidity paired with the fresh hop oils from the Motueka give this beer an aroma of fresh spring flowers and orange citrus fruits. The flavour is dominated by bright orange citrus upfront with hints of vanilla and and finishes with a creamy marmalade sweetness.

Second-use Blackberry & Blueberry Saison. Alc 7% Vol

A mixed fermentation saison refermented on spent blackberries and blueberries for 6 months. The spent fruit offers a different character after first use - more subtle and complimentary to the beer without becoming the focus of it. This beer was aged in Bordeaux ex-red wine barrel - adding depth of berry and oak characteristics behind a restrained fruit flavour. Reburied presents rosé-like in colour, Brett forward, with a soft acidity.

Barrel Aged Mixed Fermented Small Saison. Alc 3.8% Vol

A low ABV tart saison, brewed and blended with the intention of combining the drinkability of traditional low alcohol saisons with the complexity of an extended maturation with our house culture of wild yeast and bacteria. This beer is a blend of three barrels with an average maturation time of 12 months in oak before recieving a restrained dry hopping of Hallertau Blanc prior to packaging. The aroma is pure lemongrass and lime pith, the palate is creamy with notes of lychee, reisling, and vanilla before finishing dry, oaky and refreshing.

Brett IPA Dry Hopped w/ Idaho 7. Alc 7.6% Vol

Our 3rd release in our Brett IPA series. For this iteration we kept a malt base of pale, wheat and oats the same, changing the focus hop to Idaho 7 (aiming for a big, ripe fruit character) and opting for a more traditional, phenolic, Brussels Brett Blend. The base beer was heavily dry hopped, aged in oak for 5 months and then dry hopped again in stainless steel prior to packaging. The beer has a firm bitterness upfront that mellows into a blend of ripe stone fruit, rock melon, white grape, and finishes dry and oaky.

Oude Bruin with Sweet & Sour Cherries. Alc 7.3% Vol

A collaboration with friends of the brewery, Little Monster. The Oude Bruin base was brewed in October of 2018 spending the subsequent 12 months maturing in oak with several strains of Brett, Lacto and Pedio before adding 300g/l of cherries at a ratio of 80 to 20 - sour and sweet. The beer was left on fruit in oak for a further 6 months before naturally carbonating with wild yeast in package. The aroma is intensely fruit forward, bursting with a glacé cherry sweetness backed by undertones of rich oxidative red wine and oak. Whilst dominated by ripe cherry, crystal malts and complex acid from the base beer sing through the sweetness. Reminiscent of cherry wine with an almond, marzipan sweetness through the mid palate before finishing dry and citric.

Wild Ale Refermented on Agave Nectar, Infused with Smoked Chipotle & Lime Zest. Alc 8.8% Vol

A two barrel blend of smoky wild ale that was refermented on agave nectar and chipotle before being infused with lime zest just prior to bottling. This beer, even for us, is pretty mental and we were unsure how well all of these processes and flavour infusions would come together. Fortunately luck favours the bold and feel this beer is definitely something special.

The aroma is rich with a mix of smoke and spice from the base beer and fermented chipotle. The flavour starts limey and moves into a funky agave sweetness that reminds of an ice cold Tommy's margarita before fading into a complex background of char, smoke, and subtle warmth from the peppers.

Blonde Wild Ale. Alc 6.2% Vol

The first blend of many, this wild ale is a 2 barrel blend of beer with an average age of 12 months in oak, fermented by and matured on our house culture of wild yeast and bacteria procured from the greater London area.

The aroma is light and floral with hints of honeydew melon and limoncello. The flavour starts with a light mittelfrüh bitterness before dissipating into bright pineapple and peach with a restrained acidity to ensure drinkability.

Dark Wild Ale. Alc 5.8% Vol

Our dark wild ale in its purist form. Blend #1 of this beer is made up of 2 barrels with an average age of 8 months in oak, half of the blend was fermented with lab cultures and the other half with our wild house culture of yeast and bacteria.

This beer smells like toasted danish rye bread upfront with a hint of powdered jam doughnut. The flavour has great length and lingers on the palate for ages. It starts with firm citric acid up front that mellows into clementine and orange before finishing with dark chocolate and toasted almond.

Mixed Fermentation Saison Infused w/ Local Elderflower. Alc 6% Vol

Mixed Fermentation Saison Infused with Local Elderflower. A single barrel of blonde mixed fermentation saison aged in oak for 18 months. We picked fresh elderflower from Hackney Downs in East London before rushing it to The Barrel Project to cold infuse into our base beer prior to packaging.

The aroma sings with soft, delicate honey and sherbert notes of elderflower pollen in bloom. Starting with a light balanced acidity the beer quickly transitions to a delicate elderflower cordial sweetness before finishing oaky and dry.

Mixed Fermentation Saison Dry Hopped w/ Nelson Sauvin. Alc 6.5% Vol

A two barrel blend of blonde mixed fermentation saison with an average age of 24 months in oak. We moved this beer from oak to stainless steel tank and dry hopped it with a generous dose of Nelson Sauvin hops prior to packaging and naturally carbonating in keg and bottle.

The aroma of the beer is fruity, dominated primarily by fresh apricot skins with a touch of lemon zest. The body is thick and creamy, with a crisp and balanced bitterness. An explosion of ripe apricot, peach, lemon and lime that finishes slightly sweet leaving you wanting that next sip

Dark Wild Ale. Alc 5.8% Vol

Our dark wild ale in its purist form. Blend #2 of this beer is made up of 2 barrels with an average age of 12 months in oak. Like it’s sister Dawn, the subtleties of both yeast character and unique barrels are brought to the fore.

The aroma of this blend is bursting with toasted pecan, dark chocolate and dense rye bread. The flavour has a clean lactic acidity that leads into sweet candied red apple and orange zest. Before finishing rich and chocolatey.

Blonde Wild Ale. Alc 6.6% Vol

The second blend of our blonde house wild ale. Another 2 barrel blend, we create the beer in a way that both maintains a recognisable ‘Dawn’ yeast character but also shows off the subtle differences and complexities that each individual barrel brings to the table.

This iteration is slighty more savoury than Blend #1 with an aroma that reminds of raw honey with a hint of herbal, aged hops. The flavour falls in line behind the aroma, a building honey sweetness that transitions into orange marmalade with a touch of white pepper. Very fitting for the cooler weather.

Wild Ale Refermented on Second Use Raspberries. Alc 5.7% Vol

A two barrel blend of 18 month old wild ale refermented on second use raspberries. Ageing beer on second use fruit gives us a completely different experience than fresh fruit as it allows the base beer to shine through as the star of the show.

This particular beer still has the hallmarks of a raspberry beer with a radiant pink glow and an aroma of fresh raspberries but the flavour is where it all comes together. The wheat and spelt from the base beer present creamy as they mix with the high residual proteins from the remaining raspberry puree. The flavour is bursting with pink sherbert, has a quaffable acidity, and finishes with a delicate raspberry sweetness.

Spontaneously Fermented Single Barrel Beer & Cider Hybrid. Alc 6.5% Vol

A collaboration with friends from Hawkes Cidery. A single Bordeaux oak barrel was filled in November 2018 with freshly pressed Michelin, Yarlington Mill, and Dabinett apples. Once fermentation was underway wort was then added to the barrel for a 50/50 blend of beer and cider. No yeast was added as the Graff fermented solely by way of wild yeast and bacteria that live naturally on apple skins.

Wild Ale Co-fermented w/ Raw Honey. Alc 8.4% Vol

Wild Ale Infused with Bergamot Zest & Earl Grey Tea. Alc 6.1% Vol

A blend of barrels with an average age of 14 months in oak that we moved to stainless steel tank before cold infusing with earl grey tea and fresh bergamot zest just prior to packaging.

The aroma is incredibly punchy from the fresh bergamot zest, blending orange and lime essential oils. The flavour begins with a crisp tannic bitterness from the earl grey tea that balances beautifully with the light acidity of the base beer. The flavour seamlessly transitions from earl grey to bergamot citrus to peachy stone fruit from the base beer before finally back to a lightly oily earl grey finish.

Mixed Fermentation Saison Cold Infused w/ Fresh Basil. Alc 6.2% Vol

A blend of two particularly fresh and floral barrels of blonde mixed ferm saison with an average age of 9 months in oak. These barrels were moved to stainless steel tank and transferred through freshly picked basil prior to packaging to acquire the delicate flavor and aroma without extracting any harsh bitterness or astringency. The aroma is incredibly herbaceous, being dominated by freshly picked basil with a hint of lime zest. The flavor begins with fresh hop bitterness and a light tart acidity that fades into an incredible crisp basil character, lingering on the palate for an age.
