Biere de Coupage is our Solera Style wild ale. This beer was created by blending some of Odd Breed’s first beers into one 500L French Oak Puncheon on November 8th of 2017. Broken Tail (wild witbier), Golden Eyes (golden wild ale), Dinkel Wheat (spelt saison), and Biere d’Avril (wild lager) were used in the original blend, and on May 15th of 2018, two thirds of the puncheon was emptied to create Biere de Coupage Batch 1. That same day the puncheon was then refilled with Past & Future, our flagship saison. As such, Batch 2 of Biere de Coupage is a blend of one third Biere de Coupage Batch 1 (now barrel aged for a total of 21 months) and two thirds Past & Future barrel aged for 15 months. Because these blends mingled together for 15 months in the same barrel, the resulting beer is more cohesive and complex than what could be achieved from simply blending Batch 1 of Biere de Coupage with 15-month barrel aged Past & Future.

375 mL bottle. Clear golden body. Smells of strong oak, slightly yeasty funk, and some herbal notes. Tastes of grainy malt, lime sourness, oak, and some herbal hops in the back end. Medium light body. Nice and fairly simple. Subtle notes almost get lost behind acidity and oak.
