Pomona is 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 our saison. Each blend is a unique capsule of a year-long cycle of apple blossoms, fruit, grain, and yeast.
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 has slowed, we then introduce our house saison to slowly ferment over the winter.
Once ready, we blend, bottle, and condition the blend with raw wildflower honey. Tart fragrant wild apples with melon mousse finishing with a lively texture.
