Beer List for the Portland Farmhouse and Wild Ale Festival

This weekend, April 5-7th is the 7th annual Portland Farmhouse and Wild Ale Festival with a lineup featuring some of America's best farmhouse brewers and beers. While the list of breweries featuring highlights like Fonta Flora and Sante Adairius has been known, the final taplist for each day has been revealed. While the fest is 3-days, each session is different, with separate breweries and taplists that give plenty of reason to keep coming back. 

FRIDAY

The Ale Apothecary: 2018 Ale Club Mixed CaseAlesong Brewing & Blending: Touch of Brett MandarinaThis dry French-style saison was primary fermented with a blend of Brettanomyces yeasts, lending tropical fruit and spicy aromas. After aging, it was dry-hopped liberally with Mandarina Bavaria hops to complement the ripe pineapple, mango, grapefruit, and rose-like flavors that evolved during the aging time. ABV:8.5%Alesong Brewing & Blending: VisionsA nod to Bob Dylan’s classic ode to the impossible and fleeting pursuit of perfection, Visions is a blended mixed culture ale that was matured in French Oak barrels for nearly a year and then bottle conditioned with Muscat Grape juice. Bright golden in color with pleasant fruity aromas of Asian pear, citrus blossoms, and ripe melon, this beer ends with mild zip of tartness balancing all of the elements. ABV:6.5%Crooked Stave Artisan Beer: Colorado Reserva Elberta PeachGolden Sour ale aged in barrels with Palisade peaches. 6.1% ABV.Crooked Stave Artisan Beer: Surette Reserva Juniper & Gin BarrelProvision sour ale aged in Old Tom Gin barrels with juniper and ginger. 9% ABV.De Garde Brewing: Kriek PremièreA Spontaneous Wild Ale aged in Oak Barrels with Montmorency Cherries ALC 8.4% BY VOLDe Garde Brewing: IvyA Spontaneous Wild Ale aged in Oak Barrels for 2 years ALC 6% BY VOLDwinell Country Ales: Fool’s Gold | Wild LagerA Pilsner-style lager aged in freshly dumped Viognier barrels with a blend of wild yeast and refermented on freshly-pressed Viognier must.

Brewed in collaboration with Backwoods Brewing Company (Stevenson, WA). 8% ABVDwinell Country Ales: Levelheaded | Wild AleA mixed-culture, barrel-aged golden ale hopped with El Dorado, Azacca, and Citra. Soft malts and tropical hops, and an interplay of delicate oak are balanced by a lively acidity. 5% ABVEngine House No. 9: Tayberry FarmhouseBrewed and flavored with tayberries from our friends at Sterino farms. Fermented in oak barrels with our house brett strain. 6.4% ABV.Engine House No. 9: Rhubarb Wild AleA multi barrel blend that was infused with amazing locally grown rhubarb from our friends at Sterino farms. 6% ABV.Fort George Brewery: The Gallows - Barrel Fermented Mixed-Culture HefeweizenBrettanomyces does amazing things to the esters produced by other yeasts. Hefeweizen is known for producing isoamyl acetate, the compound responsible for the banana flavor in hefeweizens. Brettanomyces takes that ester compound and converts it into entirelydifferent flavors, often tropical fruit and rustic funky aromas. The unique combination of these yeasts, plus some saison yeast thrown in for good measure, was too exciting to not explore. The end result is a dry, fruity, easy drinking beer with layers of complexity. 6.8% ABV.Freehand Brewery: Mods – Barrel-aged, golden, sour aleMods is a blended blonde semi-sour ale fermented in a variety of mixed-culture barrels that are ever evolving, yet somehow always similar. From batch to batch, you will see changes as we blend to maximize the character of each unique barrel.  Batch 1 is a 100% barrel aged mixed culture sour blonde. Meant to be rich, bright, and striking a balance between tartness and depth, we hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed blending it. Prost! 8.1% abvGarden Path Fermentation Project: The Fruitful Barrel BoysenberriesA blend of mature barrel-aged beer refermented with fresh, whole Skagit Valley boysenberries in an oak puncheon, and naturally conditioned with blackberry honey from The Valley’s Buzz. 8.5% ABV.Great Notion Brewing: Funky PantsFunky pants is a Belgian inspired beer beer, with a mild acidity and a funky Brett character.

Great Notion Brewing: Sorcerer's Apprentice (Cherry)Sorcerer's Apprentice: Cherry was started with a blend of 3 and 12-month old barrel aged saison re-fermented with our house mixed culture. Then, we stuffed oak barrels to the brim with whole fresh Hood River cherries and aged this beer on fruit for an additional 6 months. This Sorcerer's Apprentice is an assertively sour beer with loads of over the top cherry flavor and a clean citrus lactic finish. By aging on whole cherries, pits and all, the beer has a layered and complex depth to the fruit character.Holy Mountain Brewing: Sacred GeometrySacred Geometry is a blend of various oak aged, mixed fermentation beers. After blending, it was racked on top of a large amount of fresh Raspberries from Spooner Farms in Puyallup, WA. It then went through a secondary fermentation on the fruit in freshly emptied red wine barrels. 6% ABV.Holy Mountain Brewing: New JerusalemNew Jerusalem started as a blend of oak aged, mixed fermentation beers, and was then racked on top of an enormous amount of Robada Apricots grown by our friends at Gilbert Orchards in Yakima, WA.

For this round we wanted to see what time, Brett and oak would do with our intent. the Beer is naturally conditioned, dry, light, hoppy, and funky while still tropical and fruity.

Regardless of the glassware and accompaniments you may choose, cheers. 7.2% abvFreehand Brewery: Prims - Barrel-aged, Flemish-inspired sour red aleWe are creatures of habit, most of them good ones—including our dedication to the sour red ales of Belgium.
