Brett Pastry Porter

Yes, you read it well. That’s right. A Clash of the Titans. A collision of worlds that, theoretically, cannot coexist in the same space. But in this hotel there is room for everything that comes with good intentions. So we set out on this adventure, with the spirit of overcoming whatever difficulties are necessary forContinue reading “Brett Pastry Porter”

Fermented Peach Golden Sour

In this hotel, in addition to the brewing fermentations, we also venture into other fermentations. We haven’t produced penicillin from yeast yet, but with time we will. A lot of bread has already been made (without ever letting it spoil), garlic fermented in honey, sauerkraut, kimchi, onions and we even fermented the tomatoes (the cherryContinue reading “Fermented Peach Golden Sour”

Tastings and Trials #5

We’ve been late to his drinking game, but summertime kept us busy, not only drinking. So let’s catch up. It’s time to reap what we sowed. Another round of beers, this time mostly some light stuff (we saved a heavy one for the end) that we enjoyed drinking in this past warm weather. Brett IPAContinue reading “Tastings and Trials #5”

The culture surrounding this beer was still on the streets of Berlin, where what Napoleon once called The Champagne of the North, was drunk. Originated in and around Berlin, there is no complete precision aboutContinue reading “Old School Berliner Weisse”

Carbonic Maceration Grape Ale

We continue to insist on a truth that we believe in: the grape in Portugal and its combination with beer. And as we wrote earlier, we believe in more possibilities than just your usual Grape Ale. For this beer we explore another of these possibilities. For the first time we approached a technique from theContinue reading “Carbonic Maceration Grape Ale”

Tastings and Trials #4

Another round of beers coming out. By this time, some of our projects that require more time to mature start to be ready and asking for a tasting, reminding us that the beer is ready when it is good and not the other way around.In addition, the space to store bottles is becoming scarce, becauseContinue reading “Tastings and Trials #4”

Rawdler

We travel again through Nordic land, for another visit to the ancestral brewing practices in Norwegian farms. Somewhere between the 17th and 18th centuries. Here tradition rules, not science. Simple conventions of the modern world that we take for granted are challenged. If not, let’s see: The cereal does not come from the homebrew shopContinue reading “Rawdler”

Jovaru Witnesses (Saison)

Here at the Hotel, the Saison style is one of the things we like to drink. Be it a simple Saison, a Grisette, or as a base for a Grape Ale, a Brett Beer, or a Sour beer. Flexible and adaptable, probably like the folks that worked the fields and consumed them. The history ofContinue reading “Jovaru Witnesses (Saison)”
