Beer

We reached out to our friends at De Garde Brewing to help us make this lovely offering for our 10th year. A blend of spontaneously fermented ales aged 3-4 years in French oak and our own Saison Lily aged in sauvignon Blanc and sparkling white wine barrels. A wild ale with incredible balance and structure, this beer is lively and refreshing with bright floral and subtle earthy notes and just a touch of vinous and citrus character. We blended bottles 60% De Garde / 40% ColdFire to highlight the complexity of De Garde's spontaneous ferments, while maintaining the bright, refreshing elements of Saison Lily.

We took our Foeder fermented Sour Blonde base, Ella and aged in a mix of white wine barrels, then subsequently refermented on 40% more Willamette Valley sourced Montmorency cherries than the 2023 version. The resulting ale is bursting with complexity and refinement.

This lively ale is blend of young and old. One part Pinot barrel aged Saison Lily and two parts sour blonde ale aged in Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay barrels. After blending, we dry hopped with the juicy New Zealand Nectaron hop for an elegant, citrusy experience. The second in a series of farmhouse-style ales that pays homage to those people that help us grow and become more than we can be alone.

A blend of oak-fermented ales aged in wine barrels for up to 2 years. We transferred these beautiful ferments onto freshly picked Pinot Noir clusters from the Willamette Valley. Bottle conditioning promotes the perfect expression of grist, grape and microflora

This beer is a blend of our oak fermented blonde ale, “Ella” aged in white wine barrels, an oak fermented, amber colored ale aged in Sparkling wine barrels, and Pinot barrel aged Saison. We re-fermented this blend on top of fresh Raspberry, Marionberry and Triple Crown Berries we sourced from Boones Ferry Berry Farm. Layers of complexity evolve into a simple yet refined experience. 2025 VM offers an experience that showcases the barrel, the fruit, and our house cultures in a way that is truly unique to this brand.

This refreshing, tart blend of oak fermented ales was re-fermented on quince in Chardonnay barrels and then once again in stainless before bottle conditioning. Named in honor of friendship and the qualities and substance that are born out of the road less traveled.
