Inspired by our annual release of Squashed Grape, we wanted to see if a similar concept would work with white grapes. In 2019, we bought a large amount of locally grown Chardonnay grapes and foot stomped them before fermenting a beer on the skins. Similarly In 2020, we bought some local Reichensteiner grapes that were a lot riper, and therefore sweeter, and repeated the process of foot stomping and fermenting on the skins.
We then blended these two grape fermented beers together in one of our oak foudres for four months and added in some wine lees to further the maturation and flavour development.

How much is your delivery?
Orders over £50 qualify for FREE delivery. The delivery charge for orders under £50 is £4.95 for England, Scotland and Wales. Delivery to the Scottish Highlands and Northern Ireland is £11.95 and due to the limitations of service coverage, deliveries to these areas may take slightly longer.
Do you deliver abroad?
No, we currently only deliver to the UK.
Do you offer a Click and Collect Service?
Yes. You can click and collect to our warehouse shop in Pylle by clicking this option for delivery in checkout. Once ordered, you can collect your order the next available working day. Our warehouse shop is closed on Sundays.
How does your delivery service work?
You will receive an email confirming your order, followed by a text from our courier confirming shipment giving you details of your delivery and tracking information.
If you are not in when a delivery is attempted, a card will be left containing contact details to arrange a re-delivery. If the courier is not contacted, they will attempt to re-deliver your order on the next two consecutive days. If you are not in on the second day, a card will be left advising you that the consignment is being returned to the depot.
Can I leave a note to the driver?
Yes, absolutely. If you live in a multi-occupancy building, please make sure that we have your correct contact details, access information and anything else you may feel necessary to assist in the delivery of your beer. Please add this to the delivery notes section when placing an order with us. If your order cannot be delivered in these circumstances, the card to inform you that your order has been held may also not get to your door. The couriers are not able to leave parcels in a communal area.
Do you deliver on the weekends?

BUY NOWUnique Aspect
Collaborating with nature to bring this bright and expressive grape beer. The skins of grapes hold a powerhouse of flavour and tannins in addition to millions of yeast cells. Because we steeped the freshly pressed grape skins in our unfermented beer, we have combined all three of those factors, (flavour / tannin / yeast) and brought this beer into a life of hybrid beer of sorts.
