Cyclic Beer Farm Ambrée

REGION: Catalunya, SP
750ml / ABV: 6.5%

This is our take on a traditional Bière de Garde Ambrée, historically brewed in farmhouses of northern France. This is a malt forward farmhouse ale that uses a large variety of specialty Belgian malts, continental hops and fermented with our house yeast at cooler temperatures. Malt forward but still dry this is a perfect beer for cool autumn weather alongside roasted chestnuts and panellets.

Our focus is primarily on production of mixed fermentation wild ales - inspired by the traditional beers of Belgium - for which we use a proprietary house blend of yeast and bacteria along with additional experimental yeast from our local flora. Seasonality and locality are both very important to us; we brew as the harvest supports and take advantage of local organic fruit, vegetables and herbs, some of which come from our family farm just outside Barcelona.

Our fruit ferments and wines, inspired by our early days of home brewing and winemaking, are produced using only local, organically grown fruits, fermented naturally by the action of the wild yeasts present on their skins. We source our fruit from across beautiful Catalunya, harvest by hand ourselves (in the case of grapes) or source directly from the farmers before selection and fermentation alongside the beer at our home in La Sagrera, BCN.
