Allagash Brewing Company Coolship Duet (375ml)

This wild yeast fermented beer is aged in oak barrels for two years, then raspberries and blueberries are added and aged for another three months. This masterpiece combines the sweet and sour taste of raspberries, a hint of berry jam, and a funky aroma from wild yeast.

Raspberries and blueberries are the most popular fruits in New England.

Allagash's home state of Maine is known as a major producer of blueberries, with the majority of blueberries sold across the United States coming from Maine.

Coolship Duet is a naturally fermented beer made using these two types of berries in abundance, using traditional methods.

First, the wort is poured into a shallow wooden barrel called a coolship, where it is cooled and the wild yeast floating in the air is introduced to allow the beer to ferment naturally.

The beer is aged in oak barrels for two years, then freshly picked raspberries and blueberries are added and the beer is aged for an additional three months.

This masterpiece combines the sweet and sour taste of raspberries, hints of berry jam, and a funky aroma from wild yeast fermentation (often likened to the smell of a horse stable).
