Two Metre Tall A Tasmanian Wild Ale 375ml

Bottled 8 April 2026

In their words -  Solera Blend #6 refers to the fifth time we have drawn an aliquot from the 30 oak barriques, never again to be emptied, which hold the (presently) 27 individual brews comprising this blend. The oldest brew dates from May 2019, the youngest just 2-months ago and the average age of the blend at bottling is just over 2-years-old. The 30 oak barrels are then topped with the young beer – meaning there are now 28 individual brews in the solera – and the system is left maturing until we are ready to extract solera blend #7 later this year. 5.2% alc. vol.

This is the product you may have seen us referring to on various social media as ‘The Future’.  Yes, “The Future” is finally here!  Sure, it looks very much like “A Cleansing Ale” used to.  And that’s the whole point!  

This has all been made possible by the slow, experimental learnings of a dedicated 18-year journey of exploration culminating, over the course of the last 4 pandemic-corrupted-years, when on each occasion we brewed a batch of ‘A Cleansing Ale’, we separated a volume of the base wort and allowed it to spontaneously wild ferment.  The oak barrels accumulated in our cellar, growing numerically such that they began to populate all available floorspace & sheds, eventually, and recently, spilling into the rows between our hop bines.  In August 2022 we siphoned an aliquot from each barrel, blending the pieces of this time-puzzle onto hop flowers in a tank and then, in September, we bottled it.

Not only spontaneously fermented, but spontaneously bottle conditioned!  Be in no doubt about this whatsoever, this is magic!  The original witchcraft in fact!
