Spontanales & White Fish
Funky, bretty, lightly sour and vinous. Spontanales are a great alternative to a white wine. They pair greatly with asparagus and white fish. Spontanales while having a very distinct taste are light and don’t overpower any dish. They are great beers to share and let sit in the glass to develop over time. Thus, opt for spontanales when you are not in a rush.
Spontanale
Just like the sour ale, spontanale is the term that Mikkeller uses when brewing beers using the same method of spontaneous fermentation that is traditionally used in lambic. Since lambic is a regional specialty though, anyone brewing it outside of the Pajottenland has to call it something else.
Yet another game-changer in the history of Mikkeller, the opening of Baghaven marked the moment when – finally – spontaneously fermented sour beer was made using local terroir. Importing skilled American brewer Ehren Schmidt to head up operations at Baghaven helped establish the foundation for a location that would fuse tradition with cutting-edge innovation.
Baghaven is home to twelve large oak foeders, ranging in size from 3000 to 7000 liters, and over fifty 225-liter California Chardonnay barrels. These oak vessels house beers where wild yeast and bacteria transform the liquid inside into products with incredible depth and complexity. In addition to barrel-aging, the in-house microbiology lab allows us to maintain our yeast and bacteria cultures and also isolate new strains from the air, fruit skins, and various other sources.
