Hello Founders!
Introducing “Guava & Apricot Tapestry” the first exclusive bottle release included in your membership!
Guava and Apricot Tapestry started with a blend of golden sour beer aged for six months in Chardonnay barrels and golden sour beer aged for 8 months in Cabernet Sauvignon barrels. This blended golden sour was then re-fermented on over 2 lbs per gallon of pink guava and apricots. This blend of fruits was chosen to build on the stonefruit, peach, lemon, and pineapple notes present in the base blend. After re-fermentation, this beer was bottled on June 6th, 2019 and underwent natural conditioning in the bottle. The resulting beer has a medium to medium-high acidity, a bright assortment of tropical and stonefruit aromas and flavors, and a dry-crisp finish. Light to medium in body, high in carbonation, with light to medium vinous oak notes, and 5.3% ABV.
We are very pleased with the character of this beer and are excited to be able to offer it as the first exclusive release to our Founder’s Club Members. Each member will receive two 750 mL bottles of Guava & Apricot Tapestry. The bottles can be picked up directly from our taproom during normal business hours on or after the release day. We will also offer to deliver these within Pennsylvania via our online web-shop for the cost of shipping only.
We are still awaiting the labels for these bottles from our printer, which are expected to ship tomorrow, 7/31. We will be sending a follow up email and posts in the coming days to let you know that the bottles are ready for pickup.
Thank you for your support of Mellow Mink Brewing and your patience as our oak aged blending stock continues to mature. We anticipate the release of the remaining Founder’s Club bottles during Winter 2019, Spring 2020 and Summer 2020.
Cheers!
