Ish
Oxbow Brewing Company

Ish was brewed in collaboration with Monkish Brewing Co. of Los Angeles, California. It was brewed using 95% #Maine grains including malted barley from Aroostook county and organic triticale, an esoteric grain that is a hybrid of wheat and rye, in addition to some specialty malts for color. The dark wort went straight from the kettle to oak barrels where it was fermented with #brettanomyces, #lactobacillus, and #saison yeast. Slightly over a year of barrel-aging, the beer picked up tons of oak character, developed a beautiful acidity, and is busting with juicy dark fruit flavors.
