Wicked Weed Ferme de Grand-pere will soon expand the brewery’s line of foeder-aged beers… plus it shows off what they do best. Fruited wild and sour ales.

Wicked Weed Ferme de Grand-pere is rested in the brewery’s foeders in the brewery’s downtown Funkatorium. The Brettanomyces fermented American wild ale features locally grown marionberries.

The childhood farm of our brewers is the source of the love of all things cultivated from soil, sweat, and hard-earned know-how. Their grandfather was a purveyor of preserves and jams made from berries and fruits that he harvested with his own hands. From this early inspiration the seed of our craft took root and grew into a philosophy of creating beer with integrity berry to barrel to bottle. Firm de Grand-Pere is a foeder-aged, Brettanomyces farmhouse ale. This tart, deep amber ale was rested on over a pound per gallon of marionberries and bottle conditioned in our cellar to reflect and echo the rustic farm-style beers of old.

Wicked Weed Ferme de Grand-pere is a 500 milliliter bottle offering. The brewery has not yet announced this offering.
