Collaboration with Oxbow Brewing Company
We made Concentric back in November of 2016 when our freindz from Oxbow Brewing Company came to visit us in VA for a Tasting Room Remix. We started by brewing a farmhouse inspired ale with organic unmalted wheat from Maine and some Virginia Wildflower Honey. We pumped the wort into our koelschip and allowed it to cool naturally and inoculate with our native microflora. The next morning, we drained the koelschip into freshly dumped Virginia red wine French oak barrels, then pitched 3x Brett strains, 3x farmhouse ale strains, and Oxbow’s house culture. The wort was entirely fermented in the French oak barrels and conditioned for just shy of a year. We then blended all of the barrels together and then bottle conditioned Concentric for approx 2 months.

This one pours a light orange-ish color, with a small head, and a bit of lacing.
This smells kind of spiced, even though it isn’t, with apple, pear, and oak.
This is giving off like funky apple pie, almost cobbler vibes, without having any fruit or spices added. I’m not sure if that always present, or it’s somehow aged into that, but I really enjoy it. There’s a nice pear and stone fruit like funk, with a touch of honey as well.
This is lighter bodied, crisp, clean, and not too tart.
This was extremely enjoyable, and has aged really well.
