Sobremesa Buddy Barrel-Fermented Grisette
REGION: Kensington, VIC
SIZE: 750ml / ABV: 3.7%
"This is a tribute to our beautiful rescue greyhound buddy . 15% of all sales (wholesale & online) will be donated to Amazing Greys. They are a volunteer-run private greyhound rescue in Naarm/Melbourne passionate about rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming unwanted greyhounds.
Brewed with 100% Australian grown grains. Floor malted pilsner, Australian ale, wheat & raw wheat from House of Malt (VIC). Australian rolled spelt & rolled rye - hopped w/ Saaz (CZ) & Celeia (SL) in the boil to 27 IBU. This beer went through primary fermentation in a puncheon (500L) and a hogshead (300L) for 10 weeks. This was a co-fermentation with our house saison strain, brett. brux & brett. claus. The ageing time was kept short to keep the funk restrained and retain a young, vibrant product. On November 27th 2021, we blended both barrels together and bottle conditioned for 8 weeks. Bottled by gravity; unfined, unfiltered & preservative free.
Aromas of doughy bread, dusty donut peaches & lemon pith. Bright & lifted. On the palate it is a lovely interplay between yeast, funk & hop character. Full of apricot skin and peppercorns. Finishes dry, elevated carbonation & super crisp. This beer is refined & simple yet complex, just like Buddy." - Casey Grieve, Sobremesa Fermentary & Blendery.
