"Hygge" (pronounced HOOGA) is a danish and norwegian word that means a "cozy, comfortable, and contented mood". This Scandinavian Dark ale is a 3.2% brownish beer that is influenced by old world dutch porter & winter season scandinavian farmhouse ales, using a handful ofdifferentenglish malts (floor malted barley, amber malt, caramel malt & black malt), american dark munich malt, canadian oat malt & a touch of smoked malt from sugar creek malt. This beer also uses juniper branches in the mash to help louter the beer, but also provide a tannic, woodsy backbone for this malt to rest on.

Batch #2 of Gleep brings a couple changes from batch #1 (2022). We've lowered the abv just a touch to 3.9%, helping to get in that uber sessionable sour range, & hibiscus has been added to the cascara of the previous batch. This addition of super floral citrusy hibiscus has really given this beer some much needed lifting, amping up the previous batches rosehips profile & bringing it to a place where I feel like this is a rose style berliner.

Plants  is a mixed culture amber blended saison 5.9%. It’s complex background comes from the dark mixed culture beer, the longest & most cultured of the blends (similar to the flavor of an oud bruin), presenting rich fruit notes of raisins, plums, dates & black cherries, alongside caramel, toffee, orange & coco. The supporting cast of saisons, weisse beer, & grisette that were blended into this base allow these flavors to mellow, presenting an amber saison w/ a super balanced, nuanced acidity & deep funk. 

BLEND: (Dark mixed culture from 2022, young saison from 2024, grisette from 2023, sour weisse bier from 2022 & 2023 & mixed culture patersbier from early 2024)
