FAQ
Got a question about our beers, wines, or something else? Check out our FAQs below or contact us.
Production
- What is a sour, wild or spontaneous beer?
- Sour beer is just that; sour. We use a range of processes and bacteria to create acids to complement the flavours of each beer that we feel needs that added layer of acid. Keep up to date with our blog, socials and releases to learn more about each process.
- Wild beer is a bit of a catch all for anything that might not just be spontaneous or sour. Expect more funky flavours than acidic. We may also refer to some beers where we don't add yeast and bacteria, but instead rely on something else to inoculate the beer as wild. For example much of our range of beers aged on grape pomace we refer to as wildly fermented.
- And sometimes we let fermentation occur spontaneously or naturally to create unique flavours in our beverages. This is inspired by our love for lambic.
- We are constantly trying new things and allow all the senses to analyse every flavour emanating from each drop to give you a unique experience every sip.
- Do you make 'normal' beer?
- We do! Year round we have a range of more conventional offerings available at our tap room.
- Are your beers vegan friendly or gluten free?
- All of our beers are vegan friendly, except when we use honey on the odd occasion. This will be listed on the bottle somewhere. We don't use any animal products to fine or clarify our beers and the sugar we use for re-fermentation has not been bleached.
- Most of our saisons come under the gluten reduced category, but unfortunately we do not have a gluten free beer at this time.
- Why is there sediment stuck to the side of your bottles?
- We horizontally condition our beers prior to release. During this time, yeast settles on the side of the bottle. We recommend giving your bottle a vigorous twist to rouse up the sediment and then storing in the fridge upright for a day or two prior to enjoying.
