After 9 months in a ceramic urn it was hauled down to Mad Fritz for a party and bottling sessions. The first brew and bottling was with The Ale Apothecary in Bend, Oregon in 2021-2022 when we brewed up at his mountain brewery with a combination of our ingredients and his cultures.

Life is crazy, short and full of things to learn and discover….’ If we feel it, we should brew it!’ thus the idea for this label arose to give us a place to add more creationism within the landscape of beer and our fellow brewers. Nile is seen with a sword and cross while other brewer friends are scattered among the angels and beasts.
This crazy label is an old Albert Durer’s 15th Century wood cuts on the end of the world ( see link HERE) and we made some of our own artistic tweaks (and added color) on the faces seen in these characters.

The base apples for the juice were Arkansas Blacks and Black Twig thus its more tart/tannic and now hoppy….Look out for this release in the Spring on 2023 and we will have a fall release that is still aging in barrels even more wild! The Brewers’ Apocalypse ale - the colab series We then did another batch with Horse and Plow that is 100% SONOMA COUNTY grown (hops/water/barley/apples….) where we hopped it more aggressively and then dry hopped with Sirachi Ace and Teamaker from our friends at Blossom and Bine. This was a done in collaboration with Horse and Plow Cidery/Winery in Sebastopol. Its pink, apple driven with light tannin and very low bitterness. The Todash version is a tribute to the idea that we can often find ourselves between worlds ( The Dark Tower Series) thus this is a confluence of wine grapes Petit Verdot (Napa Valley), Arkansas Blacks (Sonoma County) and Malted Barley (Madras Oregon). The 2022-23 series is more wild and creative. A bright cidery beer with subtle tannin and malt notes. This was infused with a beer and fermented, then aged for several months before releasing with this new label to our members. This isn’t really a beer and isn’t really a cider and well we arent sure what it is but its closer to cider than one might think…Lost yet? Ok the first brewing of this elixir came with the apple harvest of 2021 when the Granny Smiths from a winery in the mountains of Napa fell on our lap and we said…yeah! Then got them custom juiced in Occidental (epic little town in west county where we love to ride our bikes), layed them with some other Arkansas Blacks juice to create a tart and slightly tannic apple juice. The wolf in sheep’s clothing - Dunkel roggen ale If stored properly, (bottle up-right at 40-50 F), they will continue to age well beyond a year and often timing is a matter of preference rather than a requirement. Our beers will show best from 3 to 8 months of cool/cellar aging after the bottling date (see above). As they warm up, you will see clarity return to the beers. Chill haze is a reflection of how raw and pure our beers are. Dont be alarmed by a cloudy or turbid appearance as our beers tend to have 'chill haze' when really cold, the result of their unfined and unfiltered characteristics. As it warms the flavors will continue to evolve in the glass. We also suggest you serve our beers in wine glasses or bowled glass ware, allowing for the carbonation to evolve as well as the beer to breathe. Then slowly decant off this yeast into your glassware. For maximum enjoyment, chill our beers well (35 to 39 F) and allow the natural yeast in the bottle to settle prior to serving. Please Note: We are NOT trying to brew to style so please use the style stated on the label as a reference rather than a clear-cut definition of what we have brewed.Īll of our beers are naturally carbonated in the bottle or the keg - which means that, thanks to this secondary (or in some cases tertiary) fermentation, they are ever-evolving. If you have questions or would like to request more information about your beer don't hesitate to email us (please provide a lot number) and we can offer you more in-depth info. Our lot number is to the right of the alcohol content beginning with the year, month and date of bottling followed by the batch number (or, in our case, barrel number: #17 on the photo above with a packing date of 1/13/15).
