Transmitter & Burial Beer Team Up

Transmitter NC1 Appalacian Farmhouse Ale

Asheville, North Carolina’s Burial Beer Co. recently collaborated with Transmitter Brewing in Long Island City, New York. The result – NC1 Appalacian Farmhouse Ale.

Burial’s Doug Riser met the Transmitter Brewing team on a recent trip to New York. All it takes is a beer with brewing friends to get a collaboration started. Appalachian Farmhouse Ale uses Transmitter’s house wild yeast, plus North Carolina wheat, wildflower honey, and sumac (a small shrub).

North Carolina mailed and unmalted wheat, foraged sumac, wild flower honey and limes. Fermented with a house blend of three strains of Brett.

Transmitter NC1 Appalachian Farmhouse Ale will be released by the brewery in New York.

Style: American Wild Ale (w/ Honey, Sumac, Limes)

Wicked Weed Hiver Sommeil, a 2nd “winter” offering

Wicked Weed Hiver Sommeil

Wicked Weed Hiver Sommeil is by our estimates, the second release in the “Hiver” line of beers. “Hiver” translates to winter in French.

The December release was a spicy, bourbon barrel-aged dark sour, Hiver Joie. The second release – Wicked Weed Hiver Sommeil (Winter Sleep) is a Belgian-style tripel, brewed with candi sugar and honey. The twist however, is the use of the wild yeast Brettanomyces in the fermentation process.

Hiver Sommeil is reflective of all that we owe to the old world beer styles. This barrel-aged Belgian-style Tripel is brewed with honey and Belgian Candy Sugar and finished with our house Brettanomyces culture. River Sommeil is an offering of gratitude to the rest winter brings. Sleep sweet.

Wicked Weed Hiver Sommeil is a 500 mililiter bottle offering. This release has not yet been announced by the brewery.

Style: American Wild Ale (w/ Honey. Candi Sugar)
Availability: 500 ml bottles
Release: TBA

9.2% ABV
