Cyclic Beer Farm Volta
REGION: Catalunya, SP
750ml / ABV: 4.1%
Volta is an homage the classic cycling race, Volta Catalunya, where this year was set to be the 100th edition. Brewed with organic Pilsner malt, malted and flaked wheat then infused with organic lemon juice, zest and organic Ceylon black tea. Conditioned in bottle. Tart and refreshing with floral tea notes.
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.
