Wildflower x Fast Fashion x AP Bakery Anchovy Toast 2025

REGION: Marrickville, NSW 
SIZE: 750ml / ABV: 5%

Made with A.P Bakery bread which we brewed with our dear friend Matt Storm of the legendary Seattle beer bar, The Masonry, and his brewery Fast Fashion. To make this ale, we mashed regenerative organic grains together with over-bake rescued loaves, clarified the wort through wheat straw and boiled with Fast Fashion's proprietary hop named 'Anchovy' (because it goes well with pizza) grown by Segal Hop Ranch in Yakima. Vegan friendly, no fish were harmed in the making of this beer.

Tasting notes - The beer has aromas of fresh basil, pine, cut grass, lime juice and toasted vanillin biscuits, tropical fruit characters come in late to yield an overwhelmingly fresh and complex hop driven nose. The palate shows the pine, grassiness and raspberry characters. It moves quickly bursting with flavours before fading to a moreish, quite textural finish. Clean bitterness and toasty grains to close. Very enjoyable. The hop seems incredibly fresh. Really nice finish. 

It's difficult to overstate the impact of Wildflower since its inception only a few years ago in 2017. Hailing from Texas, Topher Boehm has an impressive resume - from Brasserie Thiriez to Jester King to his background in astrophysics - not to mention his unique house yeast. Cultivated from foraged wildflowers native to NSW, think wattle blossoms and banksia, blended with a Belgian saison strain, creating something truly individual which speaks of place. Topher even sprayed the entire brewery with inoculated wort when he moved in, just to make sure everything was literally covered in the house culture.
