Detritivore (Batch 5)

Detritivore is made by taking the spent cherries used in Montmorency vs. Balaton and refermenting them a second time with a younger beer.

The inspiration for this beer comes from a beer made by Cantillon pre-Jean Van Roy in which they refermented the cherries initially used for their Kriek creating a new beer with a lighter cherry flavor. This process was used for Detritivore with our spent cherries. We find the second use of the fruit tends to result in a beer that still exhibited the color, aroma, and flavor of the fruit but in a more subtle manner.
For this beer, we take the waste (spent cherries) from one beer and use it to make another beer. Show Less
