Syrah – farmhouse ale/wine hybrid with Syrah grapes
$13.00 – $24.00
n oak-aged farmhouse ale refermented with whole cluster Syrah (50%) and crushed and de-stemmed Syrah (50%) from the French Creek Vineyard.
Our goal was to put this beautiful fruit from the Yakima Valley on full display. The vineyard, with its southwest-facing slopes soaks up loads of direct sunlight, making it an ideal location for growing Rhône varietals. This appellation near Red Mountain is one of Washington State’s smallest and warmest growing regions, producing some truly special wine grapes.
We started with a base beer matured in our Missouri oak foeder for 11 months, which provides a hardy and deep foundation for the fruit. We added the whole cluster and destemmed fruit, which contributes a more rustic fermentation profile and affects the aroma, texture, and tannin structure of the finished product.
Syrah is fruit forward with notes of leather, dark cherries, blueberries, black licorice, and olive tapenade. This beer blurs the line between wine and beer as we push the limit of the amount of fruit in the product.
