Future Mountain x Bruny Island x Sailors Grave Chance Or Circumstance 2020 Open Fermented Farmhouse Ale with Tasmanian Pepperberry and Bay Laurel Leaf and Flowers

The 2020 brew was not the greatest of circumstances with the brewing unfortunately landing smack bang in the middle of a lockdown, but that wasn’t going to get in the way of a collaboration between friends. After some entertaining online brainstorming, we decided to brew a barrel aged open fermented red farmhouse ale with native pepperberry from Luke at Bruny Island and fragrant bay leaves from Chris and Gabs family farm in Gippsland. 
. 
Deep in lockdown we open fermented this beer with a blend of saison yeast, then transferred to French neutral oak barrels where a very special mixed culture was introduced. After 12 months maturation we added a small amount of pepperberry from Luke and fragrant bay leaves and flowers from Chris and Gab.
 
After 3 months of bottle conditioning, we are all excited to share this collaboration of like-minded brewers with everyone.
