Speciation Artisan Ales - Blackberry Incipient (2021)

Foeder Aged Solera Sour Ale with Blackberries - This golden sour wheat ale is made in a very large oak barrel called a foeder. We call it a solera blend because it’s a perpetually blended ale - each month we pull 1/5 of its contents, and top up with freshly brewed beer. This means that a portion of every single batch of Incipient that we’ve ever brewed is in this barrel, going back over 3 years! This creates an incredibly complex and layed base beer, to which we add a different single fruit or spice to each month.
