Coppersea
Plan Bee Farm Brewery

Collaboration sour ale w/ local master distiller Christopher Briar Williams at Coppersea Distillery. Chris is hardcore, he floor malts all his own barley and rye- & now he's growing it too. He came over last Sept. and we brewed a very wild/sour beer with his floor malted barley as an homage to Flanders-style brown beers. This winter I helped him empty a small barrel filled with green malted barley whiskey (un-kilned floor malt that has to be milled with a sausage grinder it's so wet)... The whiskey is unlike anything you've tasted- super umami, soy sauce & shiitake, earth & germination- immediately filled the barrel with our sour beer collab and allowed to age until now. THIS BEER IS EXTREME. Its aromas are sour teriyaki & rye whiskey. Flavors are intense sour mash whiskey, mushroom, Worcestershire, but become subdued after the first few sips- might be a winter beer/fall beer & should be treated like a whiskey.
