At Hermit Thrush Brewery, we encourage the reduction of waste in any way that we can. In looking at historical brewing processes, we were intrigued by the Parti-gyle style of brewing where the mash from a strong beer is used a second time to make the wort for a lower-alcohol small beer. In honor of the style, we named the beer Party Guy, and will continue to use the name for our experiments in exciting new small beers.

Bug Zapper is a limited release Sour Ale to help scratch your itch. A lively mix of mint, ginger, and lime are both cooling and invigorating, and we sour-dose after fermentation to impart the finishing electric zap.

Spontan is 100% spontaneously beer fermented in oak barrels for 1 to almost 3 years. It is made with wort produced by lambic producers, not with wort and microbiological cocktails. Brettanomyces is then added for refermentation in the bottle (to make sure we have alive yeast after 3 years).

Originally brewed as a conceptualization from our friends at the Nachbar....This historical anomaly is one of the only styles of beer indigenous to the USA and it was originally brewed right here in the Bluegrass! Much like our more beloved and covet cousin sour mash bourbon, this ale is brewed in the manner of ’souring the mash’. First we start with a blend of grains similar to your favorite spirit, barley, rye, and corn and we start the sour mash. In that process, we are able to achieve a deliciously complex tart flavor that plays with the spiciness of rye, while finishing with a dry crispness from the corn. Moderately hopped to balance the sweetness of this Kentucky Common, one will get notes of dry fruit, sweet tarts, and hints of tannin from a very small amount of barrel aged character.

Oceanside Ale Works has broken the mold with this new Strawberry Lambic Style Sour, creating something truly unique. Sweet, sour, and smooth all at once, this brew will tantalize your tastebuds with notes of strawberry jam, sour candies, light hops, and fresh fruit.

Hoppy, hazy, and assertively tart. Vacay finds us in our classic dry hopped sour mode — possibly our favorite kind of beer to brew and drink. We decided to take a vacation from the American hop varietals we use frequently, and instead assemble a blend of exciting, fruit-forward neo-German and New Zealand flavors including Huell Melon, Hallertau Blanc, and Southern Cross. Notes of lemongrass, apricot, mandarin, orange flower, black peppercorn. A juicy, puckering refresher with lightly toasted white oak in the background. This beer has never been boiled.

The exploration of yeast strains and the different results we can achieve are beautifully exemplified in Evolver, a pale ale with a difference. 100% fermented with Brettanomyces. For the first 3 months the beer tastes the same as a fresh pale ale, then the differing flavour compounds start to shine through and after 6 months the Brett really takes hold. The brettanomyces yeast is particularly good at keeping hop flavours fresh for far longer than traditional brewing yeasts. The Evolver takes on a more complex character over time as the yeast and the hops combine to produce a new and exciting beer that will continue to evolve as the yeast slowly matures the beer. This is a beer that can be drunk fresh, as a normal pale ale or left to evolve and mature into a unique and unusual beer.

Rustic Saison base, foeder aged with brettanomyces and mixed culture.

We wanted to make sure our first anniversary beer was a special one, so we cranked up some Beatles tunes and got to work brewing. The result was a barrel-fermented wild farmhouse ale aged on whole raspberries. Raspberry Fields spent five months slumbering in French oak barrels with a wild Saccharomyces yeast strain, which gave the beer balanced flavors of lemon, hay, and a touch of tartness. The beer’s rest on raspberries gave it a prominent fruity profile, while its time in oak barrels smoothed out the finish with a touch of vanilla. This is a special beer, for a special first year of our business, and we couldn’t be happier to share it with you. Tasting Notes: Dry, Raspberry, Lemon

We co-fermenting our red Foeder Sour with local Petite Sirah grapes and aged it in oak barrels where it developed aromas of dried cherry, plum, and raisin. Its deep garnet color, rounded soft tannins, and firm acidity make this complex sour ale perfect for slow sipping and contemplation.

Tart Golden Ale

Brewed with blueberry, boysenberry, cranberry, strawberry and plum.

Soft carbonation and a beautiful red hued foam on a glowing red body is a good start. The aroma is dry and full of raspberry. The taste as the same nice dry raspberry with some cooked corn qualities from the brett and some dry pale malt underneath. The flavor has a herbal dryness maybe coriander in the finish.

A foedre aged wild ale with koji brewed in collaboration with Jester King. Expect a pleasant intertwining of our two breweries’ mixed cultures showcasing the nectarine/stone fruit ester profile of our wild yeasts alongside the more lime forward, mineral character of Jester King house culture. White grapes, papaya, and guava overlay a spritzy acidity with elegant oak structure from a 13 month rest in our Barolo foedre and a subtle perfume from the koji inoculated sake rice.
