About This Beer
The team created today’s Bière de Miele beginning with Pilsner malt, malted wheat, and raw buckwheat along with a touch of German Saphir Hops. Then they stirred in 50 lbs of molasses-like buckwheat honey from Pennsylvania’s Swarmbustin’ Honey before racking it into seasoned red wine barrels.
While it matured, yeast, Brettanomyces, and natural microfauna gobbled up the sugars, leaving a dry and incredibly intricate result. Bottle conditioning with another drizzle of that special honey helped it achieve a spritzy carbonation.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of oak, hay, and grape pomace invite you into the glass. On the medium-bodied sip, tangy stone fruit nuances mingle with hints of rye bread, dry grass, and concord grape. Smooth touches of pale caramel make way for a whisper of tannic wood in the snappy finish.
