Henry No.1 - Foeder Series

Our foeder series explores unique beers developed in our fourteen French oak foeders. These vessels formerly housed world-class pinot noir and chardonnay from renowned Twenty Valley winery Le Clos Jordanne.

We have endearingly named each foeder after early loyalists and settlers of the Town of Lincoln. Henry is our first release in this series, taking it’s moniker from Colonel James Henry who was a member of the famous Butler’s Rangers - a Loyalist militia fighting for the British in the Revolutionary War. Bench Brewing is located on the land granted to Henry by the Crown for his services, and he was one of the earliest Loyalists to settle in the Twenty Valley.

This soft and complex brett saison was aged in our Henry foeder for 8 months before being dry hopped with El Dorado and Saaz.Displaying big hop aromas of honeydew and mango with a subtle earthiness and very dry finish, this beer will continue to develop as it ages in bottle. Show Less
