metaphore Qvevri Lambic/Geuze - 75 CL

This beer explores the dialectic of maturing beers in Georgian qvevri, driven by a romantic vision of crafting rustic beers with the unique energy of these ancient vessels. Qvevris are massive, handmade earthenware vessels traditionally used in Georgia to make and age wine. This method and dying art of winemaking could never be invented in the modern world and reflects the depth of 8000 years of wine history in Georgia. This beer is comprised of a blend of spontaneously fermented beers aged for one year in qvevri, buried in the ground, with organic Riesling grapes from vintage 2020, sourced from winemaker Petr Nejedlík, and refined for another year in oak barrels. The unique “je ne sais quoi” mineral, rustic quality comes from the qvevri itself. Each qvevri is lined on the inside with beeswax. The scent of clay and beeswax creates something quite intriguing that translates well into the beer. It’s bright, so drinkable and quaffable!
