This is both an exciting and satisfying project that began between us and Wildflower back in 2016… This particular version, the Autumn Ale was made from the skins & pressings of the 2019 Give up the Ghost (Greco) cuveé. It’s extremely interesting to see how the characters of the wine transcend into the beer. We have a very limited number of 3 packs which include 1 bottle of that 2019 wine with 2 bottles of the beer. I’d suggest drinking one now and putting the other bottle of beer away in a dark place for a few years as these beers (and in fact this wine) age very well indeed.

These packs a super limited !

Release notes from Wildflower …

The second edition in our ongoing collaborative project with Dane and Hannah of Momento Mori wines. These beers are made without the addition of our house culture and instead see uninoculated wort pitched on top of fermented, macerated, pressed grape skins from the making of their wines. This ale was made back in 2019 with the skins of Greco grapes which spent 10 months macerating to make MM's 'Give up the Ghost' 2019. After the skins were lightly pressed and sent to us, we pitched our Gold wort on top of them and allowed the yeast (which was somewhat surprisingly still active after all that time) to commence and complete the beer fermentation. The beer and skins soaked together for 10 months before bottling in October 2020 and conditioning for nearly two years before release.
