Grand Cru 2023

W.E. Brew's Grand Cru is an ever changing, yearly opportunity to wow ourselves and most importantly YOU while pushing the boundaries of what craft beer can be. The 2023 Grand Cru is no different and we've pushed the boundaries again to bring you another remarkable, unique brew.

This first thread was brewed and transferred into A. Smith Bowman Bourbon Barrels for a long lumber slumber. A few months later, we traveled down to Rochelle, VA to visit ZD Rock River Farms and harvested over 40 pounds of fresh, locally grown Cascade and Crystal Wet hops! Next, we brewed the second thread of beer; somewhat similar, but in this thread we turned our mash tun into a hopback and filtered the hot wort through a deep, green bed of these wet hops before transferring to the fermentation vessel. These two VERY special brews were then blended together to create this year's Grand Cru! Something old, something new and something blue! The old component being something barrel-aged, the new component is some freshly picked hops and of course the W.E. blue on the packaging!  Show Less
