Introducing Recursion, the fourth exclusive release for 2018 Cellar Society Members! .Recursion is blended from beers aged an average of 10 months in two different Merlot barrels. This blend accentuates ripe fruit notes as well as prominent brettanomyces funk. .The barrel that makes up the majority of the blend was fermented with a very powerful mixed bag of organisms, including some voracious cultures that I propagated from Cantillon dregs. It is one of the few barrels in my cellar that has a dominant pediococcus culture, which caused the beer to become super ropey and slick for a period of a few months. Once that cleared up, the beer was left with a deep, intense acidity and very rustic, lambic-esque feel. On its own it was a bit too intense, but the beer from barrel #18 really rounded it out and lent a backbone that helped it shine. .Recursion, as well as 2018 Cellar Society beers #5 and #6, are available for pickup starting today in the @luppolo_brewing tasting room. Details on #5 and #6 coming soon, members should check their email for details and an update later today! .What is the Cellar Society? How can you get your hands on the 2018 beers or become a member for 2019? Check the link in the bio or send me a pm for more info!Sometimes things don't go as planned. .This is Ultraviolet Frequency, A blend of 4 different wine barrel aged beers fermented with plums and gamay skins. It made its debut at @weatheredbeer, and I promised that bottles would come soon..Unfortunately due to an unexpected issue with a fruit strainer all of the bottles of UVF have varying amounts of fruit sediment in them. This is unacceptable to me, so I made the decision to open all the bottles, re-cold-crash, and re-package through a smaller strainer. It wasn't fun, but I promise this beer is worth waiting for. Keep an eye out for a release near the end of February.Thanks for the sweet mention @scoutmagazine! My collaboration with @primercoffee is well underway. We settled on a blend of funky and sour beers that have been aging in bourbon, brandy, and cognac barrels for about a year. The chosen coffee is Kenyan Thunguri, which had a fruity character that paired wonderfully. Come taste some at @hopwired_festival, it's sneaking up so fast, and tickets are almost gone!Doing some work on those wonderful pear-shaped Perle De Quintessence fruiting barrels today. Making the drum dollies fit so they can roll around, threading in a 2" dump port, and finding a solution to a very vulnerable shin-slayer (sample port). Many thanks to @schweigervineyards for the second-hand barrels and @glaciertanks for the tapered threaded fitting. No thank you to the manufacturer of the drum dollies because they are 1mm smaller than spec 👹It's been one year since I brewed my first batch for Temporal at @luppolo_brewing! What a crazy year, full of learning and fun. Thank you all for the support as I continue this journey, I can't wait to show you guys some of the new things coming down the pipe! ☺️New bottle release 🚨TOMORROW🚨.This is Confluence, a blend of four different beers fermented and aged in a mix of gin and bourbon barrels. It will be available in 375ml bottles in the @luppolo_brewing tasting room starting tomorrow (Sunday, January 20th) at noon. Bottles are $10 each after tax, no limits. .This blend is one of the more interesting and strange beers I've put out. The gin barrels arrived with about a liter of gin still in them, which presumably seeped out of the wood during transit. They all had really potent aromas of pine and juniper, with underlying notes of pepper and flower petals. I cast out two different worts to these barrels, and they each received a few different strains of saccharomyces, brettanomyces, and lactobacillus. Tasting the beers as they slowly matured and watching that pine-y juniper note transform into something different in each beer was really fascinating. In barrel #32 there is no longer any juniper to be found, only a distinct chocolate/cocoa puff note. I can't explain how or why that transformation occurred. Or how in barrel #29 the juniper also disappeared, but the botanical/floral notes became even more prominent. .These unique barrels became the backbone for Confluence, and to round them out I chose to blend in a brett-forward beer from one of my bourbon barrels. This contributed sweetness and mouthfeel in the form of vanilla, coconut, and oak. Also lots of musty brett notes. .I hope you enjoy Confluence, it's a pretty unique beer and I really enjoyed blending it. .📸 - Michelle LavoieHave you had a chance to try Amalgamation? You're going to want to come down and grab a bottle before they are gone. The use of whole gewurztraminer grapes instead of skins or juice led to a slow refermentation and unique flavour profile. It is bright and fruity, with notes of citrus, white grapes, and tropical fruit. .Amalgamation was very well-received at @weatheredbeer last weekend, alongside another blend utilizing grapes that has yet to be announced. Keep an eye out details on that in the coming weeks. 🍇.📸 - Michelle LavoieIntroducing Confluence, a blend of gin and bourbon barrel-aged funky and sour beers. Confluence will debut tomorrow at @weatheredbeer with bottles available for sale the following weekend at Luppolo and stores later this month. .The idea with Confluence was to balance the unique flavours of my gin barrels with a bit of oak character from one of my bourbon barrels. A more detailed post will be up next week with additional info on the release date and a deep dive on what went into the beer..📸 - Michelle LavoieAmalgamation. A mixed culture sour that underwent a long secondary fermentation on whole gewurztraminer grapes. It's bright and fruity, with the grapes contributing wonderful tannic structure and complexity. Still lots left at the @luppolo_brewing tasting room, a small allotment heading to stores later this month. .📸 - Michelle LavoieThis is Floating In Place - A blend of wine barrel aged beers partially fermented on whole apricots. .There are still bottles available at the @luppolo_brewing tasting room, with some heading to stores later this month. Have a store that you'd like to see it in? Mention them below and I'll see what I can do!.📸 - Michelle LavoieIt's been a wild year. It started with barrel-stacking and contract-signing, equipment and microbe acquiring, a bunch of brews and developing new procedures. .The middle was full of excitement, with the blending and launch of my first beers, first fruiting experiments, attending @farmhousefest, and meeting and making friends out of brewers that I admire. .The final months of the year have been full of blending and bottling, releasing the first Cellar Society exclusives, and working with new fruit. .I'm very proud of the beers I've put out this year, and I'm excited to continue bringing you all wonderful oak-aged beers in 2019. I want to take a minute to express my eternal gratitude to @katman1138 for all of her support, as well as my buddies @luppolo_brewing, who are the only reason I've been able to get this far.Amalgamation is now on tap at Luppolo! .This unblended mixed culture sour fermented in stainless before receiving a pretty massive addition of whole Gewurztraminer grapes. There is only one keg, and pours are limited to 4oz. Still lots of 375ml bottles of both Amalgamation and Floating in Place, magnums are sold out. There are bottles of all releases to date available for on-site consumption (minus Cellar Society blends)
