Oak fermented rustic Danish Shipyard Ale.
Blend #2
Aged for 8 months
Havnesæson Blend 2 summarizes what Baghaven stands for. A wide variety of all Danish grown grains including malted and unmalted barley, malted and unmalted spelt, malted and unmalted heirloom wheat, and raw buckwheat. Gently hopped with hops from France and New Zealand and fermented and aged in an Italian red wine foeder with our unique yeast for 9 months.⠀
⠀
This Rustic Danish Shipyard Ale is a prime example of what happens when local grains and native yeast come together in harmony.
Brewed at Baghaven Barrel-room by Mikkeller Baghaven - guaranteed good stuff.
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.
