SINGLE FOEDRE SERIES - SOUR DUO

Our latest Site Fermentation Project series is an ode to the beloved foedre—so many stories tie back to this humble barrel. We created two special batches in two foedres; contrasting, yet complimentary sour styles.

SOUR BLONDE

Our oak foedre barrel was made in Hindmarsh, SA just after World War 2. For over 50 years it was used to age port, and a couple of years ago Dunc and Sam took it back to SA on the back of a ute to get it re-coopered.

This sour blonde was fermented and aged in the foedre back in Footscray, using a combination of selected yeast and bacteria.

It is a refreshing and complex sour beer, with a lively acidity.

SOUR RED

This oak Foedre barrel (VAT 19) was made in Hindmarsh, SA by C.A. Schahinger. It was first filled with wine in 1997 at a prominent Hunter Valley winery. 

This red ale was fermented and aged in the Foedre back in Footscray, using a combination of selected yeast and bacteria.

This is a complex and rich sour beer, with a deep yet lively acidity.
