Keeping Pomaces – 5.9%

Description

A special beer leaping straight from the depths of the Funk Dungeon, this brand new heritage saison is a fusion of grain and grape, barrel and brett, teamwork and time.

Heritage grain Plumage archer saison aged in ex-wine French Oak barrels, before being blended on to beautiful English grown Pinot Noir grape pomace from winemaker Paris Barghchi. Elegant acidity with flavours of tart apple and plum paired with a jammy redcurrant character and sharp raspberry sherbet, balanced by earthy undertones of rich tannins and a lick of sweet vanilla for a clean, rounded finish.

Head to the wonderful blog written by Marketing Manager Laura to read more about how this beer is a true expression of English terroir, and the wonderful relationships with fellow drinks makers that brought it to life.

Our Barrel Projects and Funk Dungeon are the domain of Brewer Jim Rangeley, who is our Conductor in Chief of all things oaky, bretty, and funky. This wing of Abbeydale’s brewing came about in 2018 and since then has produced a steady stream of mixed fermented and barrel aged (or, often both) beers. With a focus on unusual, or even unique ingredients and a passion for Brettanomyces, Belgian inspired brewing and sometimes mildly ludicrous experimentation, this innovative and profoundly creative side of Abbeydale is where we really get wild – in more ways than one! Brett, Farmhouse, sour, funk, and layers of flavours imparted in wood are all wrangled by Jim to bring about very special, very small batch, fascinating beers.
