IBU:
The 2024 blend, like the '21, '22 and '23, is an ale made with certified organic heritage malted barley, raw wheat and aged hops, all wholly grown in Australia. Brewed in Katoomba using an intensive turbid mash, extended three hour boil and cooled in copper coolship overnight exposed to the environs of the Blue Mountains world heritage site. Fermented and aged in oak without addition of yeast or bacteria.
This blend contains ales brewed in the winters of each 2021, 2022 and 2023 which have aged for three, two and one year respectively before being blended in late 2024 and bottled. This year's blend is composed of of five, 500 litre puncheons: one of three years of age, one of two years of age and three of one year of age.
In marrying beers of three different brewing seasons, we have for the second time in our Village series been able to most closely mirror the common blending compositions of Belgian Gueuze, something we have been working and aiming towards since long before these beers were ever brewed.
Must be at least 18 years old & over to purchase.
