Our series of Pluot and Plum beers, because we love these magical fruits so much, they deserved their own label.

 

Jean

We are proud to present our first beer in the Sumomo family, made with Santa Rosa plums. We named it Jean, after our good friend Alex’s mom. All the plums in this beer were handpicked by mama Jean in summer ’24.

Santa Rosa plums are unbelievably aromatic and flavorful, they’re also known as candy plums. Larger fruit growing operations don’t grow this variety anymore in favor of bigger plums that ship better. These days Santa Rosa is grown in people’s backyards and by smaller-scale farmers who know that the flavor can’t be beat.

We took these beautiful plums and refermented them on a blend of fresh Tula Saison and Leroi, our Aged Wild Ale.We introduced Scented Geranium upon bottling to complement the bright citrus character we were getting from the plum skins.

Tepache Wild Ale

Tepache Wild Ale

by | Dec 4, 2024 | Beer, Drinks

Inspired by our time in Mexico a few years back, our take on Tepache returns every year. For those of you that aren’t familiar, Tepache is a lightly fermented beverage made from pineapple skins and piloncillo brown sugar.

Tepache ’24

We started with locally foraged organic pineapples from whole foods and refermented the flesh with Lux, their skins, and blended with our barrel aged Wild Ale we call Leroy.  

Once our Tepache let us know that it was complete, we bottle conditioned with a bit of salt, sage, cassia bark (cinnamon) and piloncillo. We are really stoked on this version and hope you enjoy it too. Preferably on one of these nice sunny days and maybe even without shoes with sand in between your toes. Throw open the barn door to the pineapple party.

Gloria is our family of celebration beers, whether that’s the changing of the seasons, marking an important milestone, or just because we can all use a little more sparkle sometimes.

These unique brews are created in very small batch blends. Explore our selection and elevate your special occasion with Gloria.

Gloria 2nd Anniversary

Celebrating two years of Hildegard! This bottling was made with some of the most incredible raspberries from Biringer Farm in Arlington. We refermented these on oak aged saison and blended it with some of our wild ale stock upon bottling. It expresses a vibrant raspberry fruit leather popsicle with some unexpected savoriness.

Gloria Festina Lente

To mark the coming of spring we are releasing our next Gloria blend, Festina Lente.  In the fall of 2023, we got some beautifully inky Mourvedre grapes from our good buds at Barmann Cellars which they sourced from Sunland Vineyards in the Yakima Valley.  We crushed and let these Mourvedre grapes natively ferment on the skins for a month before blending the runnings with our aged saisons.  We then let this ferment slowly over the winter and conditioned with rose petals upon bottling.

We get lots of blackberry and rose hip jam with Lambrusco feels.

What you’ll find here are unique experiments and bold explorations, hot takes and ideas that don’t quite fit in any of our other beer series.

 

 

Time Studies #3 – Vitus

Vitus, meaning lively in Latin, is our spritzy Lambrusco inspired beer made with inky Mourvèdre grapes and some second use Cherry + Santa Rosa plums for good measure.

Violets, leather, and diluted fruit loops

Time Studies Bon Voyage #2

Bon Voyage started its journey well over a year ago with a road trip to Hood River, OR, to visit Evans Fruit Farm to get perfectly ripe Bing and Montmorency Cherries. First these cherries went through carbonic maceration (a technique often employed in wine making) to preserve the fresh character of the fruit. After two weeks, the fruit was refermented on our barrel aged wild ale for 6 months and blended with some of our more expressive barrels.

Finally, we conditioned and bottled the blend with foraged Sitka Spruce tips and Burdock Root from Root Digger Herb Farm to lean into the high and low tones that the beer was naturally expressing.

Rich over-ripe sour cherry jam with subtle cocoa powder and an earthy cherry leather finish.

 

Time Studies #1 Tepache Wild Ale

Inspired by the flavors and our time in Mexico we set out to create our take on Tepache. We refermented pineapples and their skins with Lux blended with our barrel aged Wild Ale named Leroy.

Upon finishing, we bottle conditioned this Tepache Wild Ale with a bit of salt and sage for maximum refreshment. This is totally irreverent and is meant to be refreshing as heck and fun to drink.

Balanced and tart with a dry pina finish this is what you want to drink this summer!

Pomona Series

Pomona Series

by | Jun 21, 2023 | Beer, Drinks

We make Pomona as a nod to the deep roots of Apples and craft beer in Washington. Pomona is freshly pressed cider from wild and cultivated cider apples, cofermented with an actively fermenting saison. Each blend is a unique capsule of a year-long cycle of Apple blossoms, fruit, grain, and yeasts.

Pomona 2023 Blend

The 2023 blend uses cider apples from Jones Creek Farm in Sedro Woolley, WA and foraged fruit from untended apple trees in and around the Seattle area.

We let the apples sweat prior to milling and macerating. We then pressed and let the runnings natively ferment on apple and pinot noir pomace. Once primary fermentation slowed, we introduced our house saison to slowly ferment over the winter.

Come spring time, we blended, bottlede, and conditioned Pomona with raw wildflower honey. Tart fragrant wild apples with melon mousse finishing with a lively texture.

Pomona 2022 Blend

The 2022 blend uses fruit from Jerzy Boyz Farm in Chelan, WA, City Fruit, and foraged fruit from untended apple trees in and around the Seattle area.

Last fall we crushed and let the apple must* macerate on the pomace for additional extraction and mingling time for the native yeasts. Then we pressed and introduced an actively fermenting saison. We let this slowly ferment over the winter.

In spring we bottled and conditioned the blend with raw wildflower honey and Cassia bark.
