Rare Hearts (2023)

"This blend of barrel-aged mixed culture beers smacks of freshly picked, perfectly ripe strawberries. Basically, it’s a dream of summer realized in winter. First, we selected three different base beers to experiment with: one Lambic-inspired, one a mixed culture Saison, and one a Brett Saison. Then we refermented each barrel on the fruit in isolation before blending the three to taste—and taste they do! Turns out, individually hand-processing a whole pallet of strawberries until 1 am pays off. In addition to the strawberries that are the absolute star of this show, those who drink of Rare Hearts will be treated to balancing beats of pleasantly bitter hops, subtle acidity, and just enough funk to keep things spunky."
