We’ve made it a year!

And to help celebrate we have a few things going on that you should know about!

Seconds: A First Anniversary Beer

For our year one anniversary, we will be releasing our first anniversary beer, called Seconds.

This special beer is a blend of 5 barrels from 4 different recipes, ranging in age from 5-11 months. We blended these barrels into our packaging tank, then racked it back into clean barrels with 400 pounds of organic Blenheim Apricots from See Canyon Fruit ranch in San Luis Obispo. After a few weeks of ageing, we then racked the beer off the fruit and back into our packaging tank. We then transferred a portion of this blend back into a clean 400L puncheon with 100 pounds of organic Bonny Royal Apricots from Andy’s Orchard. This is probably my favorite farm, and these apricots were beautiful and delicious. Seconds was bottled in green 375ml bottles. It has an insane amount of fruit flavor and aroma, with intense floral notes reminiscent of fresh cut roses. Visit our other blog post to read more about this beer and our other apricot releases Le Con and Apricot Atavism.

Release Timeline
Seconds will be released online through our website on the following dates:
Member Pre-Release – Tuesday, October 3rd. Limit 1 375ml/pp. Members will be able to purchase an additional 3 375ml/pp come the public release.

Public Release – Friday, October 6th. Limit 3 375ml/pp.

Our release is structured this way to ensure that all of our members have the opportunity to purchase Seconds before the public has access, but we also want to prioritize those that will make it to the Anniversary Party on the 14th.
