Cyclic Beer Farm Witty Fool
REGION: Catalunya, SP
750ml / ABV: 5.2%
This is a special seasonal spring release: a Belgian style Witbier with organic oranges from the Ale & Hop farm. Brewed with a modified turbid mash and fermented with our house culture. Ingredients include: 60% organic Belgian pilsner malt, 20% Belgian wheat, 20% Spanish flaked wheat, German Perle hops, Indian coriander seeds, zest and orange juice from bitter oranges. More tart and fruity than your average Witbier, it's refreshing and perfect for springtime.
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.
