Barrel Aged Wild Saison This beer is release #1 from ONCEMADE — in partnership with Backlash Beer and Night Shift Brewing. Backlash’s beer (Wild King)—a pale saison with a pilsner and wheat malt base—is a minimalist 6% ABV beer with Nugget and Willamette hops. Night Shift’s red saison (Wild Queen)—boasting a complex malt bill that includes caramel, wheat, rye, and acid malts—will reach over 8% ABV and features Saaz and Willamette hops, as well as agave nectar added to the end of the boil. Both beers underwent primary fermentation with a traditional saison yeast before aging for two months in a combination of oak barrels. The brewers selected local red wine barrels from Les Trois Emmes Winery in New Marlborough Massachusetts and classic brandy barrels from southern California. The beers are aged on farm-grown Massachusetts raspberries with added Brettanomyces yeast. Each box set can only be purchased at Night Shift Brewing for $45 and includes: •A hand-numbered pinewood box •One 750 ml bottle of the Wild Queen •One 750 ml bottle of the Wild King (a lighter wild saison, brewed at Night Shift by Backlash) •A signed & sealed letter from the brewers •Two hand-made wooden coasters •A piece of one of the barrels. ONCEMADE is a beer collaboration project founded with one single goal: the pursuit of unforgettable beer. We hope you’ll enjoy these beers in celebration of something worth remembering: an important milestone, a night with friends, or the end of a hard day’s work. Drink this beer with good people. Savor the moment and those who share it with you.
