Oak Aged Campland begins at our farm’s annual hop harvest festival as we make a beer with whole cone Chinook and Brewers Gold hops picked fresh from our yard. In 2019, our friends from Allagash Brewing came down to the farm and we produce the first batch of Campland (formerly Tiny House). They brought along with them two barrels previously used in the production of their Coolship (spontaneously fermented) beer. At the end of the harvest and brew day, we filled these two barrels with our collaborative beer and inoculated them with wild yeast cultures from our respective breweries. After a year of aging in these barrels, the beer is ready for bottling, and the barrels ready to receive new fresh hop farmhouse ale and cultures from the year’s collaborating brewery. The result is an ever-developing yet equally refreshing and hop forward table beer.

Cloudy golden body. Crisp grain, light acetic green apples and a bit of lemon. Mildly earthy, almost a very subtle jolly rancher finish. Light earthy spice also. Good carb, lighter medium body. Interesting take on the saison style.

Beautiful light yellow body, straw-like; very lively carbonation; absolutely no head; partially cloudy. Typical rustic, horse blanket smell; lemon. Nice taste; tart and citrus like, primarily lemon with tangerine; a very faint touch of wheat in the malt. Generally light body, perhaps a little watery; mildly tart.
This is a nice farmhouse saison, but in all honesty, the barrel-aging is elusive, as in no apparent presence found in the smell or taste. The beer itself is fine for what it is, but either the barrel-aging factor has long dissipated with age, or, perhaps, just doesn't come through. It is still an enjoyable beer, but it lacks uniqueness.
Poured at 54 °F; 2019 vintage; 4.1% ABV
