From the label

“In the truest form of collaboration, we came together with Arizona Wilderness to brew a lager with barley grown and malted in each of our home states. After a primary fermentation in stainless steel with our house blend of lager yeast, we then transferred the lager into freshly emptied red wine barrels and pitched mixed cultures harvested from our respective environments and allowed it to rest in oak for five months. While the beer slumbered, it went through a multitude of changes transforming into a well-articulated brett forward crispy lager with murmurings of oak tannins. A final lagering, cold in stainless for another month to keeps it true to style and presents it to you in its most honest essence. Arizona AC Metcalf Barley grown in Camp Verde, AZ at Hausers Farm & Malted at Sinagua Malt Connecticut Synergy Barley grown and malted in Windsor, CT at Thrall Family Malt Bottled January 2019”
