Slow Donkey

Produced only once or twice a year in an extremely limited number of bottles. Without doubt, Slow Donkey is the "most Santorinian” of our products.

The secret behind this relatively strong beer doesn’t lie in the malt or in the hops used, but in its slow maturation in oak and acacia barrels that previously held wines made from Santorinian Assyrtiko grapes .

Matured for 5-6 months in these fragrant barrels, Slow Donkey is enriched by the sweet aromas of the legendary VINSANTO, along with the structure and acidity of Assyrtiko wine. Small amounts of Assyrtiko must and a secondary fermentation or bottle conditioning lead to a rare, dense beer that resides on the crossroads between beers and wines. A Wine-beer? Show Less
