BLOOD ORANGE MERIDIAN
Belgian-Style Sour Ale with Pinot Grigio grape juice, white nectarines, and blood oranges.
Spritzy carbonation with aromas of orange blossom, honey, apples with undertones of citrus, and raspberry. The palate is crisp with a bright acidity that carries flavors of pear, nectarines, and citrus. The finish is very dry and clean with a slight hint of oak and lingering citrus.

Belgian-style sour ale, spontaneously fermented with Pinot Noir grapes.
A complex blend of fruit leads the aroma with blackberry, figs, raspberry and cherry with light undertones of vanilla, oak and earthy funk. The flavor is an expression of what the aroma suggests with intense cherry notes, fig, and oak carried across the palate by a slight acidity and warming alcohol with some of the funky lambic-inspired notes gently appearing in the background.

Belgian-style sour ale fermented and aged in oak barrels with raspberries
Funk Yeah Raspberry is our gueuze inspired beer that is re-fermented with raspberries. We carefully selected 1,2, and 3-year-old barrels inoculated with our culture and a few barrels from our spontaneous program to find the perfect blend of acidity and character. We use two different sources of raspberries to achieve both deep and bright raspberry characteristics. Brilliant red color with wispy pink foam leads into aromas of jammy, sweet, and tart raspberry with a flavor that perfectly mirrors that intensity with a beautiful soft acidity, touch of funk and dry finish. Funk Yeah 2018 releases are our first blend of 1, 2, & 3-year old barrels and showcases the complexity and age of the barrels and a glimmer of what's to come in the future.

Belgian-Style Sour Ale Fermented and Aged in Oak Barrels with Pinot Grigio juice, Candy Snaps grapes, raspberries, and blueberries.
Lambic inspired base beer refermented in oak barrels with Pinot Grigio juice, Candy Snaps grapes, raspberries & blueberries and bottle conditioned for 6 months. This is the first time we’ve packaged a beer using grape juice rather than whole grapes. The result is a beer that has a crisp dry texture and less tannins but maintains the aroma and flavor of the grapes. The aroma of this beer is very fruit with notes of pear, apple, raspberry, floral notes, spun sugar and white wine. The flavor is very reminiscent of sparkling wine with crisp fruity apple notes with fresh raspberry undertones, blueberry skins, pleasant acidity and a touch of oak and alcohol warmth.

SMALL SPLASH (COLLABORATION WITH GARAGE PROJECT)
Belgian-style sour ale spontaneously fermented and aged in oak barrels with loquats. Blend of 2 year barrels.
This is our second collaboration blend with Garage Project, some of the nicest and most creative and inspiring people in the industry. This time around Dave Bell their head brewer came by to do spontaneous brew with us in February 2018. Garage Project had been playing around with the idea of using fruit and the microbes found on them to create beers, we were intrigued by this to say the least. With that idea in place we decided to brew a batch into the coolship first, let the wort cool overnight and add a small splash of loquats to each barrel and let things happen. After two years Dave was able to swing by on his trip across the states and taste the barrels from that batch. Out of the six we selected two of them that stood out as being special and unique from the others and decided to package them together as they were. This is a beer you want to drink slowly and spend some time with it as you’ll notice it open up as it warms bringing out a wild array of different aromas. Upfront aromas are lemon and orange peel, melon and funk shifting into aromas of mint, honeydew melon, guava and light sage. The flavor is dried apricots, melon, lemon, oak and funky lambic-inspired flavors with mild acidity, oak tannins and a long lasting stone fruit finish.

Belgian-style sour ale fermented and aged in oak barrels with raspberry and strawberry
Two of our favorite people, Kallie Berry and Adam Springer, decided to say ‘I do’ in what they coined the #SpringBerryWedding. In honor of these two love birds we took two of our favorite berries, raspberry and strawberry, and combined them in a special draft only blend. These berries were meant to be together, both complementing each other as they journey across your palate. Big fruity bouquet in the nose, perfect acidity, and a crisp dry finish. Very limited so come try it before it’s gone!

Belgian-style sour ale fermented and aged in oak barrels with Strawberry and Herbes de Provence
Strawberry Provence has quickly become a Blendery favorite! A blend of one year old lambic-inspired base beer, aged on three pounds per gallon of whole frozen strawberries for two months, and a touch of Herbes de Provence added right before packaging. With big jammy strawberry aromas, there's no mistaking what fruit we used in this beer. Sweet, tart, and funky, with slight notes of fresh herbs on the finish that compliments that juicy strawberry character.

Gueuze-inspired sour ale. Blend of 1, 2, and 3 year old barrels.
This is our third three-year blend of spontaneous beer! The 2020 blend consists of nine oak barrels ranging from 16 to 41 months old, with average blend age of 20 months old. Blending this beer each year is one of our favorite things to do and gives us a chance to apply the experience and knowledge accumulated over the last few years and focus it into a single blend. The aroma is complex with earthy funk, earth, hay, apricot, apple and light oak. Flavors of overripe stone fruit, aged hops, funk, slightly salty minerality that is supported by a pleasing acidity balanced by a medium body and touch of bitterness.

Beachwood Blendery is a small batch beer producer established in 2014 by the same creative minds behind the award winning Beachwood Brewing. Beachwood Blendery has embarked on an undoubtedly geeky quest to recreate the Lambic style beers of Belgium. Our beers are produced using ingredients, equipment, and brewing methods that are both steeped in tradition and admittedly modern.
The more traditional methods involve the use of un-malted wheat, aged hops, a koelschip placed in the rafters, spontaneous fermentation, neutral French Oak wine barrels and puncheons.
The modern approach uses non-traditional ingredients, including unconventional grains and tropical fruit, and involves keeping a mixed house culture constantly propagating and developing in our incubators.
All of this occurs in our custom-designed barrel room, built to mimic the daily temperature and humidity fluctuations of a Lambic brewery in Belgium.
The first beers produced by Beachwood Blendery, aptly named 'The Propagation Series', were variations of Brett Saison and Berliner Weisse brewed and blended to test how the different yeast and bacteria performed in the Beachwood Blendery environment. The results of this experiment have been factored into what have become Beachwood Blendery's signature Lambic-inspired beers. These core brands all involve beer that has been fermented and aged in oak barrels for 9 months to 3 years with a wide variety of microoganisms, that shape the tart, funky, and complex flavors we've come to desire. Yes, these beers take an exceptionally long time to develop, but we think that it's well worth the wait.
Cheers,
The Beachwood Blendery Team
