Wildflower Brewing & Blending - Field Work: Grassland Oats

An experimental ale using legendary farmer Bruce Maynard's raw oats grown in a full grassland, in-amongst a complete polyculture of hundreds of different grains and grasses. An ale made for research and development, Field Work: Grassland Oats aims to highlight the characteristics of Northern NSW grower Bruce’s raw oats grown within his innovative No- Kill Cropping system on his family property at Willydah. Brewed on our old-world brewery in Marrickville, fermented with our house culture containing a diversity of yeasts and bacteria collected from native flowers from NSW then transferred into ex-wine oak barrels for 8 months maturation before being blended and bottled where it rested for conditioning and natural carbonation until release. This Field Work beer, like the others, really is an exploration of how this grain would affect our original Gold recipe if one element was changed. For this one we replaced the raw wheat in the grist with raw oats from our friend Bruce Maynard.
