Gloed - Barrel-aged wild beer with 215g/L local cherries and 55g/L blackcurrants. Gloed is a fruity and mildly tart beer, light and sessionable, with predominantly blackcurrant in the nose. It was aged on oak barrels for 14 months, after which it spent another 4 months on the whole fruit. For this version we have used 215g/L cherries and 55g/L blackcurrant. The finish is subtle with light notes of vanilla and cinnamon. Gloed is an elegant, sunny beer that deserves to be enjoyed at a quiet pace. The cherries come from Bouwmans Fruit, an organic fruit grower in the Betuwe. The blackcurrants come from serveral local growlers.

Wild Ales & Herring

The funky nature of the wild yeast in wild ales make them some of the most complex beers around. Notes of green apple, chalky minerality and horseblanket funk dominate the beer. Any food pairing needs to allow for the beer to shine. The food cannot overpower the wild ale but rather enhance the nuanced and balanced characters of the beer. A beetroot salad and a herring Smørrebrød are the way to go here. The sweet nature of the beetroot help ease potential tartness of the beer and the salinity in the fish stands up to the funky wild character of the beer.

Wild Ale

Wild ale is a term generally used to classify beers that are brewed using techniques akin to lambic, but that is made outside of the Pajottenland region. This means that spontaneous fermentation and a high reliance on local microflora is quintessential to the flavour components of this type of beer. As such, adding fruits is not uncommon.
